I have been contacted by an eminent member of the UK patent profession that the new application exchange programme at the USPTO (details here) where, in exchange for dropping an active case it is possible to accelerate another, is already known colloquially in the US as "drop one and swap one" or "dump one and bump one" (and variants thereof - see right). A quick poll amongst some of this member's colleagues has engendered the following additions:
- Sink one and jinx one;
- Toss one and boss one;
- Bail one and nail one;
- Yank one and bank one;
- Chop one and pop one; and
- Ditch one to stitch one.

Shaft one to graft one
Trash one to stash one
Swallow one to follow one
Screw one to do one
Lose one to cruise one
Boot one to shoot one
Kill one to thrill one
Flush one to rush one
Doom one to zoom one
Throw one to show one
Cook one to book one.
LOCO - lose one, claim one
WOOHOO - weed one out, help one out
YOYO - Yank one, Yoink one.
