Nerb: the act of adding more tension to a taut rope, by pulling perpendicular to the rope

Noun: the rope which one bowstrings
a stunt coordinator asked me to bowstring the line coming out of the performer flying hoist

(and I knew exactly what to do even though I hadn’t heard the term before.)

usually used to adjust, in fine degrees, a performers body position, height, etc. when flying, where it is only a fine adjustment or reaction, rather than a new mark that would involve a rope mark change. A quick and easy way to make changes without rerigging a set mark.

Bowsering 

Hanging onto the back of a group of fellow (probably virtual) cyclists and contributing sweet FA to the pace of the group, then jumping out of the draft and smashing them in the sprint like a BOSS.
Look at that lazy bastard Bowsering at the back of the pack.

Sleepy juice 

Either liquid niquil or any liquid drink with melatonin, Ashwaganda or other sleeping aids in a liquid form. If warm tea helps you get to sleep that could be sleepy juice too.
I could not sleep so I chugged some sleepy juice and now I'm so tired and sleepy.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
