Hark upon the Gale 

A line from the William and Mary alma mater song. The full verse goes:

"William and Mary, loved of old,
Hark upon the gale!
Hear the thunder of our chorus,
Alma mater hail!"

The college and the students use this phrase a lot, both seriously and in jokes. It is a well-known phrase to anyone at the college.
A few freshmen in the dining hall, loudly: "William and Mary, loved of old..."
Camille: Some freshmen are singing the Alma Mater agian.
Joey: Let's join them!
Camille: Are you serious?
Literally everyone in the dining hall: HARK UPON THE GALE! HEAR THE THUNDER OF OUR CHORUS...

Probably one of the best people you will ever meet. His charisma and charm works wonders on everyone he talks to. When he smiles, it can give you an almost indescribable feeling like your running among the clouds, filled with a joy like no other. His personality is exceptional and he's hard to get to know at first, but once you do, make sure you keep him as a friend forever. He's irreplaceable. And he's normally really cute.
Guy 1: I was talking to Galen the other day and he smiled at me. I felt my heart skip a beat.
Girl 1: You talk about him so much lololol

gadgetbahn 

A transportation concept or implementation that is touted as futuristic or innovative, but in execution turns out to be more expensive and less feasible than traditional means, outweighing their usefulness. Examples include but are not limited to Monorails (most often cited example) Personal Rapid Transit, Maglev, etc, versus traditional means generally referring to rail, subway, and road infrastructure

The term generally carries a negative connotation, in that the solutions may be seen as an expensive 'white elephant' in the truest sense: more difficult and more expensive to maintain and add to without any perceived benefit other than looking cool

Walt Disney World can't afford to expand their monorail, it costs a million dollars a mile for new track, and with the money it would take to expand that gadgetbahn they could buy a whole fleet of buses that fit their existing needs
