volleysnob 

A person who is so conceited/ stuck-up about their volleyball skills that they judge others' coolness, friendworthiness, or social status by how well those others can play volleyball.

When I complained to the leader of that volleyball club that the other players would not talk to me in the bar after the match, he told me where to take volleyball lessons! So he admitted that they're a bunch of volleysnobs.

counter-hint 

When you detect that somebody is giving you a hint, so you give them one right back.

I've asked you to socialize with me, and each time you've told me that you have other plans. So I'll leave you alone unless you ask me out and let ME tell YOU whether I'm "busy." -- The speaker is giving a counter-hint that s/he has reason to believe that the person spoken to is giving him/her a hint that they're not interested in dating/ palling around.

backhandedly macho 

When a man or boy does or wears something "feminine," which shows that he has guts/ balls.

Check out that football player (UK: rugby bloke) wearing a purple skirt! He obviously ain't a drag queen. He's got the muscles where nobody would dare mess with him!

I wish I were so backhandedly macho!

aspirational hotel 

A hotel or vacation resort which is oh-so-expensive (room rent is, say over US$400 a night,) out-of-reach of all but multi-millionaires & billionaires. Therefore it's a big deal when a middle-class or kind-of-rich person can use a free-hotel award to stay there!

I got 2 free nights to stay at any Hyatt aspirational hotel in the world for getting the Hyatt Visa card, so I used them at the Hyatt Paris Vendome to stay in a room costing 700 euros a night!

occupational acquaintance 

Somebody you know thru work (colleague, customer, etc.) with whom you're friendly on the job, but you aren't interested in becoming their buddy/ mate nor in fraternizing with them elsewhere.

Brian: I eat lunch in the employee cafeteria with David three times a week, but when I invite him to a barbecue or to go out drinking on Saturdays, he always claims to be busy or have other plans.
Scott: Sounds like he considers you an occupational acquaintance!

Romeo Capulet name 

A last name so unpleasant that it causes men to say, 'If that were my surname, I'd defy social norms & forget my macho pride by taking my bride's name upon marriage!'

When I worked in a pizzeria, we had a customer whose last name meant "Mr. Booger/ Snot" in German!
"Please meet Mr. Wentworth & his sister Mrs. Wentworth. . ."
"WTF? Do the Wentworths marry their cousins??!"
"Nope. His brother-in-law's bachelor name is Herrlein Rotz, which means 'Senorito Snot' in German!"
"Wow! What a Romeo Capulet name!"
