When you are so anxious and eager to get new correspondence that you are constantly refreshing every web browser window you have open.
Example of a refreshing routine:
*REFRESH* nope.... no new e-mail on hotmail.... *REFRESH* darn... no new Facebook notifications on gmail.... wait maybe they just haven't gotten there quite yet and I should go check Facebook right this second to see if anything's come in! *REFRESH* oh well. But maybe by now there's a hotmail message! *REFRESH* For real?? There's gotta be a hotmail message by now *REFRESH*

Get the stick 'n plum town mug.1. A spelling competition in which the participants have to spell the words orally, and sometimes (especially for the finalists) in front of an audience.
2. A character in Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth, which is a play as well as a book. The main character is a boy named Milo, who leads a boring, predictable life, until a magic tollbooth appears in his room, and he goes to the worlds of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis. The spelling bee is, literally, a spelling bee-- an actual bee who spells words as he speaks them. The Phantom Tollbooth is a fantastic "children's" book, though adults can enjoy it as well, as they will get more of its jokes.
Sidenote that has nothing to do with understanding the definition, but is cool: my name is Rachel, and The Phantom Tollbooth was the play my class did in 5th grade. I was the spelling bee. The only other person I have ever met who even knew there WAS a play, was also named Rachel, also did the play in 5th grade, and was also the spelling bee. We are the same age, so it is possible that we were rehearsing and learning our lines simultaneously, though we didn't meet until we were cabin-mates at camp a few years later.

1. Person running the spelling be: Okay, the next word is "antidisestablishmentarianism."
Poor little 4th grader: Ummmmm..... come again?
(because most 4th graders don't say: WTF? How the hell am I supposed to spell that, I can't even pronounce it!)
2. The spelling bee is the best part in The Phantom Tollbooth, seeing as how the other leads were divided into 3 or 4 parts, including a sex change for Milo.

Get the spelling bee mug.You ask for parietals if you want to have a MOS in your room. Parietals is not the act of banning them from your room, it is the practice of asking permission, and, at some places, leaving the door partly open (with a shoe or something.) It does not START at midnight.
female boarder: hey, you want to come up to my room????
random guy: um, ok, but shouldn't we ask for parietals or something? Don't want to get in trouble.
"It's not the groping that goes on behind closed doors that I worry about-- it's what goes on behind the open doors that bothers me!"

Get the parietals mug.If there is a group of people, and there is an unpleasant task to do, the last person to put their finger on their nose is the one who has to do it. Sometimes someone will say "nose" to instigate the onset of "nose," and again, the last person to put their finger on their nose, loses.
note: this has NOTHING to do with picking your nose. You put your finger on the OUTSIDE, not the INSIDE, of your nose. If you have trouble destinguishing between the two, there is probably a sesame street song that will help.

Person 1: The trash is overflowing!! Someone really should take it out.
Person 2: Nose!
(persons 1-8 put their finger on their nose, followed by person 9)
Person 3: hahaa, Person 9, you lose, you have to take out the trash, and boy does it stink!
(Person 9 tries to argue, then realizes that it's futile, and reluctantly takes the trash out.)

Get the nose mug.One who fixes or repairs pipes. Plumber has a "b" in it because pipes were originally made of lead, (lead seemed a logical choice at the time, because of its resiliancy against rust... then people discovered what lead poisening was, and rust no longer seemed so bad!) and lead's abbreviation on the periodic table is pb (derived from its latin name).
