Taking a hit of a DMT vape pen, that is, inhaling thermally vaporized N,N-Dimethyltryptamine. In its pure, unadulterated format, DMT has an unmistakable taste similar to the characteristic smell of bad breath or, to some degree, the smell of human feces. It is a structural analogue of tryptamine which is, in turn, a metabolite of tryptophan, an amino acid in many foods.
Whether in the mouth (as part of halitosis or "bad breath") or in the human gut as part of the process of digestion, bacteria break down tryptophan into molecules called indoles, which are a pair of fused benzene and pyrrole rings that form the molecular core structure of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine, tryptamine, and tryptophan. (the double-ring twofer is also the backbone of other important chemicals like melatonin and serotonin, which may explain why food can influence your mood or make you sleepy). Indoles, one of which is called "skatole" because it specifically exists in shit, are particularly foul-smelling chemicals that contribute to the smell of bad breath and feces.
DMT is an entheogenic, psychedelic, and hallucinogenic drug that is structurally and functionally analogous to other psychedelic tryptamines like psilocybin (a.k.a. magic mushrooms), bufotenin, and others, and shares structural similarity with melatonin and serotonin. Because of its rapid onset and rapid action (lasting usually only a few minutes), it is the preferred substance for brief trips into hyperspace.

Noah languidly emerged from the bedroom with a distant grin on his face. "Sorry," he murmured slowly as the hyperbolic rubberband snapped him gently back into normal space-time after a dimension-bending jaunt through nonlinear space. "we were just... you know. Kissing grandma."
"God, that shit is so nasty," Tyler said, coming out after him.

A portmanteau of "yodel" and "warble," yorbeling is a particuarly awful vocal style endemic mostly to 1990's rock and especially alt-rock. It is defined by an exaggerated and repeated movement of the tongue into the upper palate in a way that causes the vocal timbre to gyrate like a drug-addled, underaged concertgoer in a mosh pit, often obfuscating the actual diction to the point that you can't understand what the fuck the singer is actually saying.
Refined through the heavy drug use and post-Cold War optimism that birthed the glory days of grunge, post-grunge, and alt-rock, yorbeling owes at least a minor debt to the legendary (or notorious) 80's rock phenoms like Brian Johnson, David Lee Roth, and Joe Elliott, and was championed in the 1990's by the diverse likes of Eddie Vedder (Pearl Jam), Adam Duritz (Counting Crows), Scotts Stapp (Creed) and Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots), Darius Rucker (Hootie and the Blowfish), and others. It is thought to be limited to male singers, especially male singers struggling with deficiencies in charisma or self-esteem, but it notably transcends genres.
Other singers like Rob Thomas (Matchbox Twenty) sometimes yorbel, but yorbeling is definitively tongue-dependent and should be differentiated from singing styles that simply manipulate the embochure (the shape of the mouth), like those of 1990's rock legend Art Alexakis (Everclear).
The term is thought to have originated from some Mennonite musicians in Pittsburgh circa 2011.

That show was great! I haven't heard someone yorbel like that since I saw Pearl Jam in '94 in Miami. I couldn't understand a single word, but man, did they rock!

A neologism formed by accidentally conflating "crack pipes "with "heroin needles" to form a portmanteau of urban detritus. "Crack needles," a term that may include either type of referenced drug paraphernalia, are often found littering vacant lots, alleyways, or abandoned buildings in the less illustrious, seedy districts of America's disinvested and depopulated inner cities. The lack of specificity about which drug may be semantically valuable in helping cover multiple societal eras of drug addiction, or it may just make the utterer of the term sound like a damn fool.
"They had, like, the most AMAZING cocktails at this bar, right? But the neighborhood is, like, super sketch. Like, we couldn't find parking out front, so we had to walk half a block, and there were, like, crack needles in the alley, and stuff. And this homeless person asked us for change out front." - Karen, probably, who normally only comes into the city for sporting events or anything with valet parking

Like a "walkscore," which defines the walkability of a neighborhood, "wokescore" defines the degree to which a specific location in a city is more likely to be home to woke people, that is, usually white people who maintain a position of perceived moral high ground because they ostensibly buy into social justice shit.
Wokescore is measured by the density of people in a given area who recklessly engage in "callout" culture ("Um, did you know that what you just said is racist?"), read websites like Jezebel.com, Huffington Post, ThinkProgress, follow Deray McKesson on Twitter, and stock their bookshelves with smart people books about social inequality, racial justice, or feminism, and especially how much they talk about these things, especially to exonerate their own guilt about how little they actually do to address any of these causes.

"Dude, I checked out this sick apartment yesterday. The tenants that are in there had a sweet library, too, like, James Baldwin, Richard Wright-- all this feminist shit, too, man."
"Oh, yeah, that block has a great Wokescore! Are you gonna take it?"
"Yeah, but I don't want to, you know, contribute to gentrification, right?"
"Yeah, for sure. For sure."

When taking a shit in a public restroom, the fear that someone might accidentally or intentionally look into your stall through the cracks between the panels while you're seated on the porcelain throne. Stallcracknophobia can be defined as situationally exacerbated by the specific bathroom you're in, or as a generalized phobia, and can be said to be a subset of scopohobia, the fear of being watched.
"Yo who the fuck designed that bathroom? Serious stallcracknophobia, man."
"Yea kept worrying about that fat dude with the Ed Hardy shirt from the end of the bar looking in while I was taking a shit."
