The Grammar Nazi's definitions

jobjob

n. A real job, typically the first job one gets upon leaving school. The repetition is to distinguish it from a mere job, which most college students have had a number of by the time they graduate. This is no internship, co-op or part-time barista position: this is honest to God employment. (With a dental plan.)
I'm graduating in June and I've really begun looking for a jobjob in earnest.

GrOwned

Interjection (derived from past participle of GrOwn).

Abbreviation for "Grammar Owned," a phrase adapted from the now popular term "Owned," which denotes the dominance of the listening (owned) person by the speaking person.
The interjection is triggered by some event which demonstrates one person's inferiority to another.
In this case, it refers to the grammatical superiority of the GrOwner, and is in response to a grammatical error committed by the GrOwned person.

Alternate spellings: Grpwned, Grpwn3d, GrOwn3d, Gr0wned, Gr0wn3d, Groaned.
Spelling and punctuation count as grammar too. You've just been GrOwned.

buffer urinal

The requisite one urinal minimum you put between you and any other men who may be pissing at a row of urinals. It's a courtesy thing, and it's about proximity more than line of sight: shame shields don't obviate the need for a buffer urinal.

Of course, when you're in a situation where the buffer is impossible because there are more men than there are urinals (sporting events, concerts, etc.), the buffer urinal no longer applies.
I took my place in the row, making sure to leave a buffer urinal between me and the blonde.

shame shield

A partition placed between two standalone urinals to allow pissing without letting it all hang out.
The trough didn't have any shame shields and I was afraid I'd get pee shy, so I held it until after the show.

no way

Person 1: Hey, I'm gonna go freebase while getting an intimate piercing and then get a glass bottomed boat from a pachyderm. You coming?

Person 2: No way!

deck change

Wrapping a towel around oneself to change (typically into or out of a bathing suit) in a public setting.

The "deck" is the walking surface around a swimming pool.
Kyle was in the middle of a hurried deck change when he was pantsed. Hilarity ensued.
