Grateful Dead

1. The one and only band you need to be aware of.

2. An alcoholic drink. Typically made like this: fill a pint glass with ice. Add 1/2 oz of the following: vodka, gin, light rum and tequila. Fill almost to the top with either sour or sweet & sour mix. Shake or stir vigorously if no shaker is available. Add straw and drink. Bartenders will typically leave more space than usual when adding sour or sweet & sour mix and will top with equal parts of Chambord/razzmatazz and Blue Curacao to create a color effect for presentation. No matter which way you make it this drink NEVER gets any kind of garnish unless specifically requested by a customer.

Spew-it-knew-it theory

Spew-it-knew-it theory says that students commonly retain a lot of information for an important test/exam but then mostly forget about it once they don't need to know it anymore.

Believe it or not this has actually been backed up by real research by Hermann Ebbinghaus.
Test question (short answer): What does the spew-it-knew-it theory say?

Answer: it means that once I know it I'm completely forget about it and everything else regarding the tested information.

flotsam

Flotsam is a term used by year-round residents of Cape Cod MA to describe people who come up to the Cape only for the summer. It is said that on the Cape that "For every piece of real flotsam here we have 100 summer flotsams to equal that." It's a typical Natives vs. Anything-but-Natives arguement.
