| 30. | Senior Week | ||
|
A week-long experience for PA, MD, NJ and parts of NY graduating seniors of high school (sometimes the failures tag along for the ride). The week is normally in the month of june. Usually consists of renting from the dirtiest run-down houses to up-scale condos for a week in NJ, DE, or MD beaches. The week consists of straight binge drinking of all different kinds of alcohol from Natty and Guinness to Vladdy-Stoli, as well as consuming (in various ways) cannabis. Random hookups criminal behavior, and disregard for anything and everything are simply unavoidable during this week. From the minute senior week starts, so does the loss of brain cells. Wake up with a shot and go to bed with a bowl and a brew. Wake up the next day and do it all again but better.
Some seniors end up doing a senior summer which is senior week but lasts the whole summer. After Freshman year of college, the former seniors loved the week so much that they end up revisiting the beaches for round two or even three or four the following years. Person1: Hey where are you going for senior week?
Person2: I'm going down to Wildwood in june. Person1: Aw damn man, senior week is going to be extreme! |

| 31. | Twinkie Defense | ||
|
A defense tactic which seeks to excuse someone's behavior by evading responsibility. In the actual case, the defense effectively blamed the actions of the defendant on too much sugar derived from eating Twinkies. I am not buying into your Twinkie Defense.

| 32. | Textfession | ||
|
V. Making a confession via a text message. Janet said she stole a car in a textfession to her ex-boyfriend.
|
|||
| 33. | Peter | ||
|
A person, usually male, whose behavior deviates from what is acceptable, especially social and sexual norms. Comparable to a lech, a Peter is unpleasantly strange and makes members of the opposite sex, or same in some cases, concerned about their safety and overall well-being. Peters are most often found in social gatherings because of the protection and cover provided in a crowded room, they have difficulty entering into and maintaining healthy relationships, and in most cases, have criminal backgrounds. "Ew, why does that Peter keep watching us while we make out?"

|||
| 34. | Proax | ||
|
Actions of tactical media intended to raise awareness about problematic social issues. More sophisticated than a prank, more ethical than a hoax, a 'proax' is well-conceived and executed, culture jamming public event that uses deception to uncover a deeper truth, make an artistic and/or political statement, or expose criminal behavior. The Yes Men's Andy Bichlbaum appeared on television news posing as a representative of Dow Chemicals, claiming that Dow planned to compensate the victims of the Bhopal disaster by liquidating Union Carbide and using the resulting $12 billion to pay for medical care, clean up of the site, and funding of research into the hazards of other Dow products. The proax cost Dow billions of dollars in stock losses.

| 35. | Monkey Moment | ||
|
Momentary devolution to one's inner monkey through selfish, impulsive behavior often without forethought of the consequences. Often monkey moments are followed by insincere apologies. Did you just grab food off my plate?
Sorry, I had a monkey moment. Quit that! Did I say you could put it in my ass? Sorry, monkey moment. Just let me finish real quick. Did you just rob that convenience store? Sorry, I was having a monkey moment. I did not have sex with Ms. Lewinsky. I had a monkey moment. |
