M.D.D.

An abbreviation used to covertly refer to Manic Depressive Disorder (Bipolar) or Major Depressive Disorder (Unipolar). Simply referring to it as M.D.D. helps avoid random strangers eavesdropping and thinking you’re nuts.
My M.D.D. is playing up again. That’s why you haven’t seen much of me recently.

Dancing On The Rails

Doing something extremely stupid or reckless usually for the amusement of others or for the thrill of doing something daring. Often occurs as a result of peer pressure.

Bill: What an idiot! He’ll get hurt if he doesn’t stop it!

The Bronze

The Bronze is the awesome club where you and all your cool friends plan to hang out over the weekend, only it isn't really called "The Bronze". You call it that instead of referring to the location by its actual name so you don’t have to worry about tag-a-longs
Clara: Hey are you coming to Everett's tomorrow night?

Molly: Shush! Call it The Bronze. I don’t want freaks following us there
