A 'hackback' is when you devastatingly (and at exactly the correct moment) cut through a flow of verbal abuse being directed at you - by using your own brutally accurate observations about your assailant's lack of intelligence, lack of good looks etc. All of those then pale into insignificance, as with rapier-like accuracy, you finally observe that your assailant is also well known in his or her peer group, as being someone who is completely unable to string any sentence together that lacks at least ten repeated swear words.
"Who says words can't kill? I looked at the bully and then chose my exact moment to deliver him a killer hackback. He left me and my friends completely alone after that."

"My physics professor speculates that ghosts exist in quantum dissipation mode most of the time. However, he says that if their quarklets manage to get entangled again, they then become visible to us. It must be really cool to be a Prof and think crazy thoughts, but get paid for it."

Second bestness is when you know you are not the first choice if somebody asks you to be someone (wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend) or to do something (i.e. become the boss). You know that someone else was first choice and altough you accept the offer, it rankles and stays wth you forever, turning you into a bitter, overbearing person.
"I think Mum's feeling of second bestness is why she's always so horrible to me - knows Dad wanted to or should have married someone else."

"It's pissing outside, first storm of the rainy season and millions of big, ploppy raindrops are bunker-bombing themselves into the drought-hibernized ground, busting up its crust to release the smell of petrichor."

"White-coats" are all the specialist doctors you hate going to see because you just know instinctively there is nothing wrong with you - but that the white coats are going to insist on taking gallons of blood off you, and prod you and stick you in noisy machines that give you as headache.
"And after that, it then will be mum carting me off to yet another white-coat, who will prod me around while I’m semi-naked, take litres of blood off me, mutter a lot, and will then prescribe pills to take each day, to calm me down!"

A feeling of being generally unwell, but not due to drugs, alcohol, overeating, period pains, influenza, or any other known disease. You also look terrible, but you're not unwell enough for your mum to write a sick note for school, whereas all you want to do, is lie in bed and feel sorry for yourself.
"Mum, i'm feeling really unepic - please write me a sick note for school. Everybody's going to say how ugly I look. Please , Mum!"
