Board Walking 

The act of manually rummaging through archived forums, BBSs, news groups, etc., in search of useful information.

The term is frequently used figuratively in an effort not to reveal the specifics of one's resources (ie: what site you got the information from. See second example).

NOT to be confused with Dumpster Diving (Dumpster Diving was recently incorrectly defined on Al Franken's nationally syndicated radio show.)
'You'll never guess what I found Board Walking yesterday!'; 'So I found a list of credit card numbers on the Board Walk this morning...'

boardwalk barker 

The people that yell at you, as your walking past the overpriced game they operate on the pier, trying to get you to spend your hard earned money and win a cheap prize.
The couple were walking on the pier when suddenly a boardwalk barker startled them.

stalking my life on the boardwalk

When a person has latched onto you and tracks your every move, to the point that you can't leave your house without being paranoid about the person mysteriously popping up and interrogating you.

Origin: The episode of Jersey Shore when Pauly D's girl kept following him around as he hung out with friends on the boardwalk, and then called the house 3 times in a row to find out where he was.
1)
Girl: "Why didn't you call me last night? Where were you? Who were you with? I called you 3 times and you never called me back and I KNOW you got my messages!"
Boy: "OK, seriously, you are stalking my life on the boardwalk right now."

2)
Boy: "Hey, so you're single now? You dated for what, 7 months? And your ex transferred schools?"
Girl: "How did you know all that?"
Boy: "I checked your Facebook."
Girl: "Could you stop stalking my life on the boardwalk?"

Boardwalk Empire 

A bomb-ass show on HBO. Set in the 1920s, it is a show about a shady, cunning Treasurer Enoch "Nucky" Thompson during the Prohibition era in Atlantic City, New Jersey. This show includes his interactions with other shady characters in politics of that time, bootlegging, prostitution, murder and all that jazz. Despite being a show about the dingy, dangerous, roaring 20s, one can't help but long to have lived during that time...as a white man, of course.
Me: Man, I love Richard Harrow! He's the most awesome character in Boardwalk Empire!
Boyfriend: But his face is all fucked up.
Me: Fuck you! I'd bang him like a screen door during a tsunami!
Boyfriend: That's why you're awesome.

Margaret Schroeder is a holier-than-thou bitch. She must die.

The Boardwalk Effect 

When you are at a party or gathering of some type and upon arrival you notice the girls aren't good looking. Then after a prolonged period of time at the party or gathering, your standards at that party fall and the least ugly chicks start looking good.

Can also be when you are at a gathering with not that many girls there and just because there's not that many chicks at the party, the ones there start looking good when normally they're not that great or grenades.

Came from a visit to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk where most of the girls there are fat and ghetto. After a few hours there your standards fall and they start looking good.
*at a party*
Bro 1 (11:00pm)- Man this party is kinda wack, the chicks here are not fine.
Bro 2 (11:00pm)- Yeah I feel you man, whatever its early i'm sure it will get better.

Bro 1 (12:30am)- Dude some of these chicks are starting to look good...
Bro 2 (12:30am)- Yeah I know, we need to get the hell out of here, its the Boardwalk Effect.
