Spade Work 

Impressing a girl a few weeks prior to smashing her box. Preparatory work can include assisting her with something (i.e moving apartment), lending her books/DVD's or simply talking to her. Note: Doing the 'Spade Work' is different to 'chatting a girl up' (see: chatting up)because it is the continued premeditated effort with no return on investment expected for a number of days or possibly weeks.

Traditional Definition
Preparatory work necessary for a project or an activity.

Jonathan: "Morning Hubert, I saw you talking to Deborah earlier, it appears she is becoming increasingly comfortable around you by the day. Some mighty fine Spade Work if I do say so myself"

Hubert: "Your observations are correct Jonathan, I'm hoping Deborah lets me smash her box within the month."

Lights Out in Spaceworld 

To come down / start to feel tired and not so high anymore. Esp. after use of ecstasy.
A sort of antonym phrase to Space Out in Lightsworld.

Ohhh, It's Lights Out in Spaceworld.

Uh oh, the Lights are going Out in Spaceworld.
