Mushary - also known as bush-riding - is the act of intentionally jumping into a bush or shrubbery - preferably head-first, and typically whilst wearing a boiler suit.
This is done for the purpose of eliciting laughs or causing a scene and is widely documented and distributed on YouTube.
The word itself is a portmanteau of "Bush", "Shrubbery" and "Manchuria" - the site of a war in which soldiers were known to jump with abandon into trenches so as to escape gunfire.
Mushary is of course a much more frivolous past time.
A particularly successful act of Mushary will result in the sight of a rigid body sticking halfway out of a thick hedge, feet pointing towards the sky. The absurdity is the point.
Some enthusiasts might claim that it is a form of anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian protest, but there is no such formal organization.

(v.) To leave. But more specifically, to leave abruptly in a childish huff - often accompanied by a self-indulgent speech about how everyone around the "leaber" made them do it.

(n.) A Chomper is someone who talks incessantly, typically in a crowd, annoying the people around him/her. It is especially an issue that comes up at concerts when the music act is on stage performing, and people would really just like to focus on listening to the music, but the Chomper goes on with their useless conversation, oblivious to their surroundings.
Hey, could somebody please tell that Chomper to shut the fuck up? I'm trying to listen to the music.

A chinger is a telephone fraud device that mimics the frequency made by a pay telephone when money was dropped into it. Putting money in the coin slot caused a DTMF or Dual Tone Multi Frequency signal to be sent out to the central switching box which registered it and when enough money had been inserted into the phone would connect the call. The chinger could mimic that sound and thus produce the equivalent effect of dropping a quarter into the pay phone.
So basically, a chinger allowed the user to make unlimited free calls from certain pay phones. They could be made using a simple pocket electronic address book sold at Radio Shack, and replacing the chip inside to alter the output sound.
They were also known as "red boxes" but the name chinger probably referred to the chiming sound it made when mimicing a quarter drop.
Most modern pay phones no longer use the DTMF tones, rendering the chinger obsolete... but it was fun while it lasted!
