Rover

That white oversized beach-balloon thing off of the cult 1960s psychological British spy TV-show "The Prisoner" (the one with Patrick McGoohan). Rover acts as the disciplinary force in a disguised detention centre for spies ("the village"). Upon finding an escapee, rover pounces on them and knocks them out, then carries/drags them back.

Patrick McGoohan almost escaped in the first episode of "The Prisoner", but then Rover caught him and foiled his escape :/

Dancing

Not giving a shit about what other people think of you as you move you body gracefully (or not so gracefully) rhythmically to the beat of music. Often done at parties, discos, etc... Can be done on one's own but is more fun done in pairs or in groups.

Man that party was CRAZY! We were dancing all night and all mornin'!

Yetyoo

Abbreviation for "You're entitled to your own opinion". Synonymous with "fair enough" or "I can't really come up with a good enough counter-argument for what you've just said, hence I am going to play it safe by dismissing the choice of arguing as unnecessary".

Person1:"This band rocks man!"
Person2:"No way! The singer's so drunk that he sounds like a recruiter for the Legions of the undead zombie whordes from Valhalla"
Person1:"Yetyoo dude, Yetyoo..."

hugging

Where one being wraps their arms around the body of another being and holds them close for a moment. The psycho-physical message is along the lines of: "It's okay, I've got you"

Is mostly non-sexual, unless you go for a grope halfway through it ;)

Not strictly limited to humans, hugging can be done by other species, replacing arms with wings, tentacles, hooves, etc....

Within friendship, hugging can be a great way of expressing support and platonic love :)

Facebook slog

When a seriously bored individual spends hours doing nothing but looking through facebook, to the point of madness or suicide, whichever comes first.

X: "Have you seen Andy? I swear he's spent four hours on facebook! Hasn't he got better things to do?"
Y: "Oh you know how he is, probably just having another Facebook slog"
