doubling up 

In a game where every possible outcome could result in an agreed monetary win, the process of "doubling up" takes hold. In a game where the winnings is double the place, the idea is to start with low bets, and always pick the same outcome. Should you lose, double your last bet and place for the same outcome. Repeat this until you have won. Comparing your total winnings to your total place, you will have gained one unit.

Of course, there is no garuantee that your wallet can withstand the number of losses needed to recouperate your loss.

Dice throwing for cash-


Place £1 starting bid on number 3


you lose!

£2 bid on number 3

you lose!

£4 bid on number three


you win!

£4x2= £8 gained

£1+£2+£4= £7 lost


Total win is your startign bet.


OK? now go try this on your friends and see how much you can win from them.

update doubling 

When you can think of only one brilliantly witty, unique and (of course) effortless line to post on a social networking site eg. on Twitter, as your status on Myspace or Facebook, you just 'double up' and use it for more than one of the sites. Therefore you will seem brilliant, as long as none of your friends are on both/all the sites you use the line on.

Girl 1: I saw your brilliant 'nail polish dries slow on nails, but quick on carpet' line on Twitter.
Girl 2: Oh, thanks.
Girl 1: Yeah. Then I saw it on Facebook.
Girl 1: Oh, shit.
Girl 2: That's right! You got busted update doubling!

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.

Stroad

Noun. Portmanteau of "street" and "road": it describes a street, er, road, built for high speed, but with multiple access points. Excessive width is a common feature. A common feature in suburbia, especially along commercial strips. Unsafe at any speed, their extreme width and straightness paradoxically induces speeding. Somewhat more neutral than synonymous traffic sewer.

Did you see what the traffic engineers want to do to our street? They're going to turn it into a total stroad!
