Trained cats[^]
But [a little more seriously] once had a cat that would fetch small paper balls that I threw for it, amused many visitors particularly as it wouldn't do it for anyone else. (But I have to admit it 'taught itself.')

None of the bank tellers I've ever dealt with were that...friendly.
That aside...all cats I've ever owned spend an awful lot time licking places you wouldn't go near to. People, don't let cats lick your face. Much less your mouth.

Funny, but not really true. Cats can be conditioned to react to any signal just as well as dogs, monkeys or married men. The only trick is that you must get the cat to like whatever you want it to do. Then they do the actual conditioning themselves.

I know it's not true. Cats can be trained. They can be taught tricks, they can be taught to use the toilet etc. They are of course highly intelligent, so they'll only do it if they want to themselves.
But the meme was funny all the same.
Didga[^] is one of my favourite examples of a trained cat! She's really smart! 
That being said, I've had a lot of cats during my life time, and - as with people - the level of intelligence is most definitely individual.

If you ever have seen a mixed cat and dog raid on a refrigerator, then you know how smart they are.

Yestersay
It started out as a simple typo, but I think it is quite usable, like in 'You don't yestersay!' when someone comes with some old and boring stuff. Now, how do I get it into a dictionary? It should be worth a few points in Scrabble.

First turn it into a meme. Then get it on social media. Once it hits one million shares, then they will put it in the dictionary.
Just like all the other crap they put in.

But I really hate the concept.
I've got this one co-worker where I must keep very close track of what he has heard before, whether it is something relating to me, the news, the working situation or anything: Immediately, when he hears something he has heard before, he cuts me off with a "You told that already!" It is really bothersome when I all the time have to say: "Yes, but Jack [or Jill or whoever] hasn't heard it". I try to remember when he is present to start out with "You have heard this before, but to let Jack hear it as well...". Sometimes when I forget that my co-worker has heard it earlier, and cuts me off, Jack (or whoever I am talking to) steps in and says "But I haven't heard it!"
So even though the term "yestersay" is not used, the same idea is stated in different words. And it is very irritating. You must accept to hear something again. You don't have a moral claim to hear brand new things always, all the time.
Actually, some of the best storytellers I know, tell the same story again and again, with a little different twist every time, a different emphasis, maybe even some small change in the story. I enjoy it. I say that if a movie isn't worth watching twice, it isn't worth your time to watch it once. If a book isn't worth re-reading, it wasn't worth reading in the first place. Knowing how a piece of music ends shouldn't take away the pleasure of hearing it again. If you don't want to hear a story again, you should have walked away the first time.
So please restrict you use of "That's just so yestersay!" to situations where an endless repetition is really annoying. Do not make it into a competition to be the first one to recognize what someone is saying so you can yell "Yestersay!"
(Like the way too many people are today when you strart a sentence with "I wonder..." or "I'd like to know...": Before you have completed stating what you wander about or would like to know, six smartphones are up on the table, its owners eagerly waiting for the keywords the can google to win the race to be The Winner who can read out loud The Answer. It stresses me immensely. To keep a normal, oldstyle conversation going I try to avoid expressing any uncertainty or wondering in my talking; I know that it could lead to most of those around the table would dive into their smartphones, and it would be very unpolite to continue talking with the rest while they try to "help" me to the answer...)

There once was a time when I used to laugh about that sort of behavior, long before smartphones even existed. I watched a table full of nerds play Dungeons and Dragons. The game master would say a single sentence and all players would grab one of the books in high stacks next to their chairs, vigorously search for the right page and then interpret some rules in a different way and oppose whatever the game master just said. I bet they all later became lawyers.

I can reveal what happened to them - they all became senior developers.
I see this a lot with many of the senior the devs I have worked with, I wonder if the issue is that they have never worked in jobs where they have to communicate through speech.
They seem unable to participate in what polite society would call small talk and have absolutely no interest in anything that does not immediately benefit them - which may be a consequence of the age of the mobile device constantly keeping them away from boredom.
Codeproject fortunately seems to attract those devs who have the ability to talk beyond grunts and every other word being feck this and feck that.
