railing

Played in the subways, railing is when you bolt down the train tracks right after a train has left the station, all the way down to the next station. The objective, of course, is to make it to the next one alive. The traditional round is played directly after the last passenger train has left, which is trailed then by the midnight express.

I hate railing in Russia, too many cables along the tracks; you're bound to trip cost you the game!

reverse-vasectomy

When a man changes his mind about firing blanks and is willing to have a(nother) kid, then spends the rest of his life making sure the $9,000 was worth it.

My Dad: Well, I'll tell you why I don't want you getting stoned all the time... son, do you know what a reverse-vasectomy is?

concessionist

Someone who works in concessions-- typically at a movie theatre. It's technically not a word according to most dictionaries, and usually gets the red squiggly line from most spell-checkers; but you can refer to this unofficial definition as your own little victory knowing that, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, it's a real word.

Harvard Grad: Excuse me, but a girl who works in your concessions spit in my cup before serving it to me.
Management: Don't you mean a concessionist?
Harvard Grad: That's not a fucking word you imbecile.
Management: (begins making a loogie)...let me see that cup.

rolling stop

A lame excuse for a cop to pull you over, and only dangerous if done improperly, a rolling stop is when you don't come to a complete stop at a stop sign. This includes slowing down to .0000002 mph to look both ways in an unoccupied industrial district. Basically if your wheel doesn't stop moving, you've done a "rolling stop" in the eyes of the law.

Cop: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Victim: I was hoping you could tell me, and obviously I don't know why you pulled me over otherwise I wouldn'tve done it in front of you.
Cop: You did a rolling stop back there.
Victim: ...back there at my driveway on the cul-de-sac?
Cop: I don't speak French.

midnight express

The trains that return to the depot at the end of the night without making any stops to pick up passengers.

I thought there weren't any trains left at this hour, but we're in luck-- here comes one now! Oh fuck it's just the midnight express, god dammit!
