duty free high five

A high five given to an employee at a duty free store. This can be done anywhere at the store, but it is preferred that the act be performed at the drive-thru window (if it has one). No purchase of duty free goods is required.

Etymology: The term was coined by David Snyder on January 1, 2006 in Niagra Falls, Canada on a road trip to see Niagra Falls. It turns out that this is the only exciting thing to do in Niagra Falls, especially if you are not 19-years-of-age.

Let's drive up to the window and get a duty free high five from that guy.

noprah

When Oprah withdraws support for your book. It can also mean when Oprah doesn't give or withdraws support for anything.

Etymology: Used on E! Channel's "The Soup" on March 3, 2006 in the "Hollywords" segment. It was in reference to Oprah's withdrawal of support for James Frey's memoir "A Million Little Pieces" after it was revealed that his story was grossly exaggerated and (in parts) fictional.

Getting the noprah automatically ruins your career as a writer. No one crosses Oprah. No one!

I always look forward to the LAN Holiday season. It's the only time of year that I get to gather with my nerd friends in my parents' cold basement for Starcraft and get pissed off to no end because no one can seem to set up the network. We never learn from the year before.

stonewashed

To be brainwashed by actress Sharon Stone. The term arose from her constant and unrelenting promotion of the movie Basic Instinct 2. One would think that seeing the film would cure cancer she hyped it so much.

I saw Sharon Stone promoting Basic Instinct 2 on The View, E! News, Regis and Kelly, the Fox News Entertainment report, Entertainment Tonight and about a zillion other shows this week, and I'll tell ya what--I've been stonewashed. I need to see this movie even though I know it's going to be a waste of my 8 dollars. My warning to you is to beware of Sharon Stone.
