A (usually annual) gathering of old, stinky, unwashed, and severely overweight men (with a limited number of women, usually of the same qualities) where antiquated and largely useless radio equipment is bought, sold, and traded, usually at exorbitantly high prices.

While some hamfests are useful for finding odd parts and rare equipment, many have degraded in quality over the years and are not worth going to any more.
I was at this one hamfest in Bowie, MD and this hambone picked up a simplex repeater and said, "Duh, so it records the radio, TTX?"

h4mb0n3-1: Man, did you go to the Vienna hamfest this year, the one at NOVA?

h4mb0n3-2: No way, d00d, that hamfest is not as good as it used to be.

Hamesticle 

Someone with homosexual sympathetic tendencies, who believes his testicles are larger than average. This person likely has undiagnosed developmental delays and can't fathom their testicles have retreated back inside their scrotum. In serious cases the entire scrotum will retreat, leaving the appearance of a vagina where the testicles used to reside.
Mark was feeling down and I asked him what was the matter? He confided to me and said his Dr. recently diagnosed him as the first patient suffering from Hamesticle.

Hamcost is a term typically used in a dialogue when trying to make the other person feel dumb and throw them off their game. You simply throw in the phrase, "quit being a Hamcost". They Reply, "What's a hamcost?". Then you say, "about $4.50 per pound". It takes some practice, but effective when used correctly
You are in an argument with your buddy Heath, not a bad argument, but just a friendly argument and he starts talking trash. You go, "Heath, stop being a Hamcost". He replies, What the f's a hamcost" and you reply, "about $4.15 per pound dumbass". It will throw off any argument.

Haecestterraincorrectorumlacrica

A red hollow circle around the face ⭕️ + a shirt that screams “I am a deeply introspective and creative individual with emotional instability, impulsivity, intense empathy, rebellious and thrill-seeking tendencies, and complex, often self-destructive traits that resist clear diagnosis.” Basically, it’s the ultimate “existential crisis chic” fashion statement.
When Jordan walked into the coffee shop wearing a haecestterraincorrectorumlacrica and a man bun that looked like it had its own zip code, everyone knew they were simultaneously suffering a midlife crisis and writing the next great avant garde novel all before ordering a latte.
