nice asymptotes

What a geeky Math whiz boy would say to a geeky Math whiz girl as a one-liner.

At the Beta Sigma Omega Math Olympiads, Devin walked up to Melissa and looked at her graph of the function, and then tried to suavely say "Hey there, lady, nice asymptotes - can I see them closer?"

From way downtown

In basketball, to shoot a very long three-pointer that simply is awesome.

In NBA Jam, back in the good old days, the commentary would yell out "from way downtown" if you shoot a three.

NOLA clap

NOLA clap is a complex and very deep concept. It is a feeling of unity among all New Orleanians. When one yells out "NOLA clap" everyone from New Orleans must yell "fa sho" or clap out loud.

At the Saints game there were many NOLA claps around.

sinecure

The epitome of a very easy job with a decent salary. See Vanna White.

Jessie: "Dude, did you hear about Larry's new job? He gets paid to supervise a robot that does all the work. What a sinecure. Oh and Mindy? She just got hired to work as a paralegal at Horithups & Wellesley, where all she has to do is run spell-checks on the lawyer's documents."

Adam: "WTF? Where do you sign up for these gigs? It seems all the jobs I get are McJobs where I work my ass off for minimum wage. Geez... what has this world come to?"

hairy prodder

Another name for Harry Potter, so called because it gets on your nerves like a big hairy stick poking you in the neck while you sleep.

My nephew already read Hairy Prodder ten times. I feel sorry for his poor soul.

mish mumkin

Mainly used in the Egyptian dialect of Arabic, this phrase means "no way!"

So if you visit Cairo one day, and want to try to haggle with one of the merchants in Khan-al-Khalili, you can keep saying "mish mumkin" when they offer you a price until they get to the lowest price.

Dude 1: "Man, yesterday I saw a Lamborghini Countach that was painted with a really glossy and shiny blackish-purple color, and it had spinning rims, and to top the back spoiler was shaped differently, and it looked really scary. Plus a huge flame came out of the exhaust once that sucker took off."

Dude 2: "Mish mumkin!"

Dude 1: "How could I lie about this man?"

Ronald Mcdonaldization

The brainwashing that occurs by McDonald's on the minds of young children. These kids become infatuated with McDonalds through the incessant advertising. This is shown especially in the documentary Super Size Me.

The poor children are undergoing Ronald McDonaldization as we speak, all around the world. Many of them will unfortunately become obese, and some will suffer a lot because of the insidious effects of Ronald McDonald & Co.
