hamster

(verb): To walk on a health club's treadmill for a prolonged period in an attempt at losing weight. Less commonly it can refer to running on the treadmill or using an elliptical trainer. In most instances, a treadmill workout qualifies as hamstering if done at such a leisurely pace that one is unlikely to lose much weight or derive significant cardiovascular benefits.

Now that summer's approaching, your typical cardio bunny will hamster away in the gym, in the hope that she'll look good at the beach.

Directional university

A state-supported university in the United States whose name includes a compass direction, e.g. "North state name State University." Many directional universities started out as teachers' colleges, broadening their educational missions in the 1950's or 1960's. In most instances a directional university has easier admissions standards than its state's flagship university ("The University of state name") and serves a greater proportion of commuter/part-time/older students.

California does not have directional universities. As an equivalent, it has universities with the word "State" in their names.

Job hunting with a degree from a directional university is mighty tough.

roach motel

A used car dealership catering to people with bad credit. It most likely sells rattletrap older cars at inflated prices and charges exhorbitant interest rates. Buyers generally have to pay weekly or bi-weekly, as opposed to the monthly payments characteristic of legitimate lenders, and being even a few days late on a payment will trigger aggressive collections attempts and, quite possibly, repossession.

That dealership's a roach motel, avoid it at all costs.
