Harriet Tubman 

The kind of zit that lays underground on your face and hurts much more than any other kind of pimple.

Harriet Tubman 

A large, painful pimple underneath the skin. Usually you cannot pop Harriet Tubmans because they are so deep under the skin's surface, and attempting to squeeze these may cause tearing of the eyes, cursing out in pain, and sometimes even crying. Squeezing and pinching Harriet Tubmans usually make the situation worse and takes the zit even longer to disappear and heal. Harriet Tubman is appropriate to use because they are "underground" zits, referring to the historical Underground Railroad system Harriet Tubman is known for.
Oh god, Julie. I have the worst Harriet Tubman on my chin right now. I tried squeezing it but it only made it worse....damn her!

Harriet Tubman 

The act of sliding under a table or obstacle, usually on one's belly or all fours to reach one's goal. Often used in the context of a house rule for Beirut (what you ignorant people call "beer pong"). This rule allows one to dive under the table to retrieve a ball after they have missed a shot, thus getting a behind the back shot before their turn ends.

When used in the context of Beirut it is usually used in conjunction with the 50-yard line rule.

It may also be used to describe an escape from a situation requiring you to go underground (literally or figuratively).
"Did you see Ted? He just Harriet Tubman'd the shit out of that ball"

"House Rules: both people sink a cup = balls back, ..., 50-yard line, no Harriet Tubman..."

"I built an igloo last week with an underground tunnel, just in case I had to Harriet Tubman that shit if we were attacked."
