FRIVOLOUS MOTION
The term 'frivolous' is defined as "not serious in content or attitude or behavior" (Reference: http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=frivolous)

Used in Toastmaster meetings, a Frivolous Motion is a humorous, exaggerated or peculiar motion designed to test the Chairman. A member can be programmed in advance to present the motion.

The motion raised should be a subject on which all members can speak, move amendments and procedural motions. The object is to make the General Business of the meeting a learning and participation activity.

INVOCATION
The Invocation is not a formal grace before the dinner. Rather it is a brief and effective expression of thanks for that which we are to partake - the dinner, the privilege of learning, companionship, motivation, etc.

In Toastmaster terms, it refers to using your own thoughts and express them in natural and effective phrases, avoiding cliches, colloquialisms, etc.
