pressure kickflip
A skateboarding flip trick similar to a kickflip. The difference is that there is no pop (ollie.) The trick is usually preformed coming out of a grind. The board essentially falls off of the object (ledge/etc.) and flips.
Popularized by such skaters as Rick Howard and Marc Johnson. And is not to be mistaken for a "pressure flip" which is an entirely different trick.

Did you see MJ's opener in Fully Flared? He did a grind on a bent over parking post with a pressure kickflip out.

raster grind
A skateboarding grind in which the back trucks grind while the nose of the board starts out pointing over the object and ends with the nose pointing away from the object.
This grind is a combination of a salad grind, and a suski grind. The rider transitions from one grind to the other.
The grind was originated by Brian El and was named after the sweeping effect seen on old radar displays.

sugarcane
A skateboarding grind in which the rider approaches the rail/ledge frontside and performs a backside 180 to fakie feeble. The trick is much like a fs hurricane, only more difficult due to the outward rotation, which also increases the amount of rotation, as the board must spin over the object first.
benzocaine
A skateboarding grind in which the rider preforms a sugarcane and rotates another 180 degrees out, effectively completing an overall 360 degree rotation.
The trick was originated by skater Brian El.

reality tunnel
a myopic system of thoughts laid down by past experience, shaped by parents, culture, society, institutions, conditioning and any other re-imprinting techniques one discovers - to guide the human biosystem through his/her environment.
most people seem to go through their reality tunnel without ever questioning what is outside it and who built it, and what other choices there are as far as models/contructs go.

Dopesick
The experience of negative symptoms due to withdrawl from medication, typically opiates (herion, morphine, opium.) Symptoms may include nausea, headache, insomnia and restlessness. The term is not limited to opiate narcotics.
Being dopesick, the only time I've slept in the past few days, is when my body reaches the point of physical exhaustion. Weee!
