Hampering a political candidate's chances of winning an election by circulating compromising old photos of the candidate on the internet. The term is especially applicable to sexually suggestive photos.
The term is based on the 2010 congressional campaign of 28-year-old Virginia businesswoman Krystal Ball, who received negative publicity after photos of her sucking on a Halloween dildo during the 2007 holiday were unearthed.

Student 1: Hahaha. Ben's blog swears he's going to run for Congress in a few years. Quick, let's save some pictures so we can krystal ball him later!

A group of middle-aged women on the internet who believe they are all married to Severus Snape from the Harry Potter books -- on the astral plane. They have real-life meetings where they take turns channeling the spirit of Snape so they can have wedding ceremonies with him.
There is in-fighting over whom Snape loves more and whether Snape is an emotional wooby who just needs to be loved, or a domineering master who lives to be dominant.

A student at the University of Pennsylvania who transfers into the university's Wharton School of Business after a year at another of the schools, most typically the undergraduate College. Wharton expects a first-year GPA of 3.7 to allow transfer. A student often does this because it is seen as easier to accomplish than to be admitted to Wharton straight out of high school. Wharton has higher SAT and GPA expectations for students than Penn's other schools - the College, Nursing, Engineering, etc.
"Hey Mark, why are you taking such bullshit classes your first semester at Penn?"
"Shh, I'm trying to be a backdoor Whartonite. That's why I'm taking Sociology 001, a writing seminar, American Music History, and Intro to Japanese Culture."

Abbreviation for "Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stanford." These are the four top colleges in the US. Other schools like Penn or MIT are up there, but don't quite match the prestige.
Friend 1: "My best friend from Penn got a Rolex from his dad over dinner at graduation right in front of me. I graduated from Penn too a year ago, so I came back to my parents and asked 'Where's my Rolex?'"
Friend 2: "Haha, I bet they were like 'hmph.' But if my kids graduate from a top university, I'd probably buy them that watch. Would you?"
Friend 2: "Only if it's one above Penn, heh... Okay, maybe Penn or better."
Friend 1: "Well, that's ridiculous. You're basically saying they have to graduate from HYPS to get a Rolex... Otherwise, they'll have to buy their own watch."
Friend 1: "Fuck 'em. They can buy a Timex."

A rule originating on the Something Awful message boards that calls for the banning of a member who does not follow his own proclamation. These proclamations are typically in the form of "If X happens, I will do Y." The person who posts the claim is asked to follow through with his promised act or be banned for lying.
This rule originated from a forum member, Toxx, stating he would tape together the parts of his nether regions if a message board topic reached 5,000 replies. The Something Awful Administrator ordered that he post pictures of the completed act. No pictures were produced, and Toxx was banned as a result. The Toxx clause was instituted as a rule to discourage future members from making exaggerated claims.
Example poster 1: "If he sells this laptop to me for $200, I will eat my shorts."
Example poster 2: "Sell it to him just so we can test the Toxx clause."
