Hock my China 

Verb: "To be a pest, especially by going on and on about something (usually with "don't" or other negation)." A trans-lingual Mondegreen of the Yiddish phrase "hak mir nisht keyn tshaynik" (lit: "don't rattle me a tea kettle") meaning, figuratively, to quit complaining or beating a point to death.
Listen, we're not going to Disneyland this Summer and that's final, so suck it up and don't hock my China about it.

Chad, what happens again when you hock my China?
I get yelled at?
Exactamundo! So, knock it off and go watch TV.

Half-Toobin 

Verb: "(w/ 'to go') to stand up during a Zoom or other conference call while sporting wood or showing an erection underneath ones clothes." Inspired by the 2020 news event involving journalist Jeffrey Toobin who was caught masturbating during a Zoom call, and, thus, was going "full-Toobin."
Right in the middle of a Zoom review for the O-Chem midterm, my TA got up to get a fresh cup of coffee and, wouldn't you know it, dude went half-Toobin and popped a chub right in front of the whole section. Must've had more than the textbook open in his browser window.

Rockfuck 

Verb: "To make false promises about what you can contribute, only to show up with with little or nothing." Noun: "One who does the foregoing (also, "rockfucker")." Refers to the idea of being particularly screwed over by an unfulfilled or exaggerated promise. Origin unknown but maybe inspired by formations like "ratfuck" and "assfuck."
"The Army recruiter we invited to Career Day said he'd bring a pack full of gear for the kids to look at, and then he rockfucked us and showed up with bupkis and a handful of pamphlets."

"Steve said he knew a guy who knew a guy and so there'd be at least two kegs at the party, but he rockfucked us big time and just showed up with a 12 pack of White Claw and a bottle of Cranberry Moscato."
