Previewnesia

The state of forgetting what movie you actually came to watch due to the excessive advertisements, trailers, previews, messages to silence one's cell phone, etc. that occur between the advertised start time of a movie and the time the feature begins. Usually, the state of Previewnesia is experienced right as the feature is (finally!) about to begin and you realize you can't remember what movie you are about to see.
Jim (to his date, Elaine): "Hey babe, do you remember what movie we are about to see? I've got previewnesia"
Elaine: "No I've got previewnesia too, I can't remember. Maybe it's Goonies 2 or Avengers 4?"

Streamspoiling

An act committed by those viewing a sporting event live or on broadcast TV, whereby texts or tweets announce key events (such as scores, turnovers, or big defensive plays) before they happen on live streaming (because streaming is several seconds delayed behind real time or broadcast TV). Thus our broadcast TV friends ruin the sports viewing experience for those of us online by giving away the outcomes before we see them happen.
(Bob, watching the game on his phone): It's 3rd and goal from the 17. Crowd is going wild...
(Jim, via twitter): TOUCHDOWN!!!
(Bob): Aw god damn it, Jim is watching this on TV and streamspoiling this shit for me....

email generation

The ability to tell in general how old someone is by their email domain.

President Barack Obama once said that baby boomers "Cling to their guns, religion, and AOL.com email domains" - This references the fact that no one below the age of 50 still uses AOL. The baby boomer generation, like most senior citizens of their time, are known for their frugality. That is to say, they are cheapskates. However none of them seem to be able to figure out that free email accounts are widely available and they don't have to pay for it through AOL anymore.

Gen X'ers often stick to hotmail.com or yahoo.com. They don't want to risk coming off the Pearl Jam or Third Eye Blind mailing lists.

Gen Y'ers stick to gmail.com. As are a few forward thinking Gen X'ers (*those whose hotmail or yahoo accounts got hacked at Y2K)

The millennials are just too fuckin' hip to be defined by their email. They just communicate with each other through twitter...I mean snapchat...oh wait that was so last week, how do I find out if my beard and skullcap are still in?
(Woman, to man at a bar) Hi handsome? Nice beard, spectacle glasses, plaid sportcoat, and tight-fitting jeans with the cuffs rolled up. Can I email you?
(Man) LOL!!
(Woman) Well if you change your mind, I'm lesliesmith@aol.com
(Man) Cougar!
(Woman) OMG he knows my email generation

Stella's got her groove back

"How Stella Got Her Groove Back" was a mediocre and very forgettable 1998 movie that was most noteworthy and only remembered today for having a funky title. While there was nothing really about this movie worth remembering, it's silly title lives in as a sportscentery pop-culture reference used to describe a previously good player or team that's been in a slump emerging from that slump. Gen-Xers will cackle with the reference while millennials will shrug their shoulders as it passes over their heads...
(Radio play-by-play baseball commentator) "Santana's at the plate, he's been in a bit of a funk, hasn't had a hit in 5 games. Here comes the pitch across the plate, swung on and (CRACK) belted - it's going long - got the distance - STELLA'S GOT HER GROOVE BACK IT'S A HOME RUN FOR SANTANA!!!!"

Anchorman (the drinking game)

The single greatest drinking game in the history of drinking games. The Decathlon of drinking games.

REQUIRES: 2 teams of 5. 1 pitcher. Beer. 10 quarters.
OBJECT: To get fucked up.
GAMEPLAY:

1. Pitcher is filled with beer and placed in the middle of a table between the 2 teams of 5. Teams and players take turns shooting quarters into the pitcher. First team to 5 quarters in wins.

2. Either the winning team selects or the losing team designates an "Anchorman". The losing team must finish the entire pitcher of beer - each player gets one chug, then passes to the next player. The Anchorman goes last, and must finish whatever the 4 other players on his/her team do not drink.
3. "SEND IT BACK": Alternatively, the Anchorman can volunteer to go first - and if the Anchorman chugs the entire pitcher on his/her own, the pitcher is then refilled with beer and is sent back to the other team - who similarly must select/designate an Anchorman and finish the pitcher.
PLAY CONTINUES UNTIL: Everyone is too fucked up to continue or some hot girls arrive and want to play "I never"

Anchorman is the decathlon of drinking games: The game combines quarters skill, chugging ability, tolerance and stamina, and general ballsiness all in one.

Anchorman was the preferred drinking game at Duke University in the early-to-mid 1990's.
Gen Xer: Dude lets play some Anchorman (the drinking game)
Millenial: OK I'll be Ron Burgundy
Gen Xer: No the drinking game not the movie
Millenial: OK we'll drink every time Champ and Brick....
Gen Xer: Forget it, I'll just play by myself - got any Natty Light?
Millenial: Is that a new sour IPA?
(Gen Xer proceeds to kick the Millenial's ass, ties him up with his braided leather belt, then puts on Dave Matthews to chill out...)
