concessionist

Someone who works in concessions-- typically at a movie theatre. It's technically not a word according to most dictionaries, and usually gets the red squiggly line from most spell-checkers; but you can refer to this unofficial definition as your own little victory knowing that, as far as the rest of the world is concerned, it's a real word.

Harvard Grad: Excuse me, but a girl who works in your concessions spit in my cup before serving it to me.
Management: Don't you mean a concessionist?
Harvard Grad: That's not a fucking word you imbecile.
Management: (begins making a loogie)...let me see that cup.

District B13

A French film starring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli. Produced by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Leon: The Professional), District B13 is one of the films introducing parkour to the action genre. It features some of those most intense chase scenes you will ever see, none of which use CG. It was written after seeing David & Cyril's stuntman portfolio as an excuse to put the two together in a film. The result is breathtaking, and has even been ripped off in newer movies like Casino Royale's opening chase scene (except again, District B13 didn't use any CG). Go see it, or at least YouTube the opening chase scene.

God damn I wish I could move like they do in District B13, I wouldn't ever need a car if I did.

chiers

A business in Portland/Stumptown, Oregon that goes around the city apprehending drunks. The drunks are then driven back to Chiers HQ (Aka: Hoopers/Hoppers), temporarily relieved of their possessions, thrown into cells, and kept there until they sober up-- at which point they're given their things back and a free bowl of soup. They will not devote any information to anyone (ever) outside their building, so if you get picked up for being too drunk and wake up the next morning, be sure to call your loved ones when you leave 'cause they're probably worried sick.

Chiers has an 8 o'clock line-up of homeless people waiting for the free soup handed out in the morning.
