Being hit up for a charity donation at a store checkout register. Stores know that everyone in line behind you will think that you're a cheap ass if you don't give. Ain't peer pressure great?
John: Wanna go out to a bar tonight?
Rick: Dude, I can't. I just lost my last 5 bucks in a Checkout Charity Ambush at the grocery store!

In legal terms: Sexual assault.
In the lingo of sexual deviants (=95% of the male population): The act which will "make you a... sex offender... hm, pordon me!... a MAN"

While it is quite obvious that most "men" are petty slaves to their depraved appetites, it is refreshing to hear someone being honest about their wish to sexually assault the "female species" via a "bukkake ambush."

The situation that unfolds when a parent comes unexpectedly and without invitation into the room of their adult kid, who i still living at home, to tell them to get a job or look for employment right now.
"Kevin, ich hab dir gestern gesagt du sollst dich bewerben, hast du es getan? NEIN?! WARUM NICHT!?" That is a job-ambush

Meant to be a pun of the word 'bush'. It means for someone to send a link that you ask for but it's actually a link to where it plays the nostalgic Kokiri Forest song from "The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time".
There's Rickrolled, Coconut Malled, the underrated Stick Bugged but I made up something called getting Kokiri Ambushed.

Fraudulent modern American method of surviving difficult economy. Most often utilized by persons age 25-38. The favorite trick of creative freelancers. You offer your services to a company or person perceived to have money. They of course do not hire you. You offer information or ideas via emails or phone calls they didn't ask you for. Then you start demanding pay for the above.
If they are smart and refuse to pay you, then you accuse them of a lie designed to hurt them, and email them an invoice that includes a threat that if they do not pay, you will spread lies about them on Google.
Don't laugh.
This is now widespread across America.

1. A company charges for what they perceive to be your fault (not being there, for instance) and then sends you an ambush invoice. They have not actually DONE anything.
2. You meet a group of freelancers for lunch. You don't hire any of them. They send you 1-3 emails during the following week asking questions about your project. Three days later, they invoice you. They have not actually DONE anything. You are being billed for the emails they sent you because they're about YOUR project, after all.
3. You ask a person a question on the phone. They answer you. It takes about 30 seconds. Three days to a week later, they invoice you $2500.

A blanket-term that can be used in almost any situation, usually said in such a way that the other person still understands what you mean.
Origin: On the Xbox 360 store page, most games had lengthy descriptions that summarized the game in order to encourage you to buy it. The video game 'Gun' however simply had the words Ambush The Train in the description and nothing else.

While whistling a song or melody, the ambush whistler will hear you and whether consciously or unconsciously start to whistle a completely different tune causing you to become distracted and off-key. Common in the workplace, it is also known to happen during elevator rides, cook outs and lawn work.
Excuse me, I was whistling Mary Had a Little Lamb until you started whistling Patience by Guns N Roses - you are such an ambush whistler.
