Good answers, all.

Wasn't aware of the name in your #7, Lev. Google says it's AKA box breathing.

I just thought of:
side order
irregular breathing

I want to say #6 is "way over the top", but the "top" part doesn't fit :(

Yes, I think the line indicates that 'way' is over 'the'. Perhaps, thinking about synonyms of over and also incorporating the fact that it's outside the box will help.

That's good, too, so let's add it to the mix. (I like your earlier #7; I hadn't know that activity has a name.)

Anything goes, if it can be explained. Some answers might be a stretch, but I'm not going to judge boundaries. (Such answers might even prompt someone to post an improvement.)
