Heat Check 

A heat check is when you do something to check to see how hot you are. In basketball, this is done by taking a crazy shot to see if you are so hot, you can even make ridiculous shots. It is the most direct, non-subtle attempt to score with no strategy at all. In pursuing women, a heat check is a simple, direct statement made to a woman to see if she will be interested. A man is “just checking” to see if it works without needing more clever methods. The best heat checks involve minimal risk, because they are harmlessly “just checking” and not a full-blown attempt.
Guy 1: Why did you invite that girl to the bar with you so directly? Don’t you think it had zero chance of working?
Guy 2: Just a heat check. As long it doesn’t damage my chances at all with her in the future, it just checks to see if she might say yes to pure directness.

Heat Check Time 

in the sport of basketball, whenever a player makes 3 consecutive baskets from down town (3 3pointers) he/she has entered what is known as Heat Check Time. Heat Check Time entitles that specific player to the right of shooting the ball from anywhere and not be called a ball hog.
wow Vince just made 3 threes in a row... "HEAT CHECK TIME". "everyone pass it to him" ... (Vince then continues the streak to 7 in a row because of HEAT CHECK TIME)

Another word that can be used instead of headache. It is a pain in the head.

seatcheck 

Calling "seatcheck" is alot like calling out "shotgun" in the fact that it is used to claim your: chair, sofa spot, futon, stair, whatever your seat may be, when you want to get up for a moment. It lets everyone around know that that spot, while vacant, is still occupied.
"Man, I'm thirsty. Seatcheck!"
