hemline theory

The idea on Wall Street that the socially acceptable length of women's skirts will reveal the state of the stock market.

Low skirts at the ankles mean the country is swaying towards a conservative, bear market. (1930s)
High skirts above the knee mean the country is in a free spirited and aggressvie bull market. (1980s)

Hamline University 

A liberal arts school where half the students play sports and the other half of the students do not. The athletes are D3. The liberal arts kids try to dress unique, dance, and sing at awkward times; 1 out of 6 people are not straight. It feels just like high school with more gay people.

Dude what's at Hamline University? Liberal arts things plus sports.

Hamline Wireless 

A wireless connection that is hardly ever functional.

Something that costs $35, but is actually worth far less.

Dude, don't go to that internet cafe, its like using Hamline Wireless.

You paid fifty bucks for that? That's like Hamline Wireless.

Pull a hamline 

To peace the fuck out; vanish like dust to the wind; disapparate like a hippogriff

I didn't feel like waiting for my check-in, so I decided to pull a hamline and got a beer instead.

Hemlining 

Two dudes sharing a tube on a river

After Taylor’s tube popped, he had to hop into Prescott’s. They were hemlining the rest of the way down the river.
