point

A mythical award given for the accomplishment of an improbable crime, act of violence, or accident, especially with a car; for instance, running over an ordinary pedestrian counts as one point, running over a pregnant nun on a bicycle is worth five points, but running a bus full of pregnant nuns off a cliff is given 40 points. The crime need not be automotive -- firearms, bombs, inflammable fluids and the operation of heavy machinery are also acceptable means. Pregnant nuns, extraterrestrials, hallucinations and in-laws are favored targets.

Yo, if you hit that nun on the unicycle there it's at least six points.

"Man, you so ugly you yoogly -- to look in a mirror you got to sneak up behind it and catch it by surprise." (A traditional move in The Dozens.)

zoned

Probably derived from 'The Twilight Zone', a TV program dealing with fantasy, science fiction, the occult, etc. Also 'zoned out', 'zoning'.
