R party

A gathering of any number of randoms that centers around the sharing of software. So called because oftentimes the software in question is pirated.

The term borrows heavily on otomatopeia - specifically the use of Arr.
Dude, I scored a cracked version of Photoshop at the R party!

broken record

One who continually repeats the same statement with little variation, if any.

Derives directly from the (slightly inaccurate) term involving polyvinyl record albums, where such a "broken" record would repeatedly skip back a moment in what being played. (The term was inaccurate - usually such skippage was caused by debris on the disc.)
Hey, Bob is being a broken record about the salad bar. Somebody wanna hit him?

Charles Ramsey

Verb. To put aside one's fear in an uncannily bad situation, and not be afraid to get in other people's business for the greater good.

Directly after Charles Ramsey, the man credited with the May 7, 2013 rescue of three women who had been kidnapped in Cleveland, Ohio, US about a decade before.
Aw, shit, that dude kidnapped three girls? Time to get all Charles Ramsey on his ass!

set in jello

A description of a document (for instance, a programming schedule for a convention) that, while written or printed, is still at the given moment highly flexible and can be reshaped with little to no effort.

Derived by analogue to set in stone, and with lack of a better substance to set soemthing in that would require flexibility.
The payment terms for this contract are still set in jello.

all the way to China

1: Notionally speaking, where you would wind up if you proceeded to dig a hole through the earth as to come out the other end. (This is mistaken, of course - starting from either coast of the US would put you in the middle of an ocean, as would starting about anywhere in China.) See china syndrome for a possible explanation to the origin.

2: Metaphor for where one can see if they have a clear view of a woman's genitalia - either due to the fact that she is wearing no clothing, or the clothing she is wearing is revealing what's underneath (due to transparency or just that it is ill fitting). Possibly originates by extension of sense 1.
When she lifted up her legs, we could see all the way to China.

scarf it down

Extended form of scarf, and used especially when time is of the essence.
Dude, we gotta catch that plane in two minutes and you've only half finished your burger. Better scarf it down on the way to the gate.

dad gum

Modification of the term god damn. Comes from the midwest, as near as I can tell - my grandfather (an Illinois native) used to say it a lot.

Note the term is always used as an adjective, and NEVER as a verb. So you can have (day) a dad gum toll booth attendant, but you don't dad gum the toll booth attendant. The only exception to this rule is that "Dad gummit" is a suitable substitute for "goddammit"
Dad gummit! Where is the dad gum screwdriver?
