grey-herring

a problem area that unexpectedly arises and has the potential to reveal one's incompetence in a meeting. Grey Herrings occur predominantly in the calvinus stupidicus species. Grey herrings are stress-inducing and evoke compulsive lying.

calvin was nervous going into the meeting because of the grey-herring rumored to be swimmin around the switchyard.

heroin voice 

A voice that many heroin users share. Their voice sounds raspy, hoarse, tired, and emotionless. Their speech pattern is slowed down, and their voice lowers in pitch, and almost falters and breaks mid-word.

Kurt Cobain (of Nirvana), Layne Staley (of Alice in Chains), and Jeff Pinkus (of the Butthole Surfers) all have a heroin voice.

Hospital Heroin 

Slang for the powerful opiate Hydromorphone, commonly known as Dilaudid. It is one of the most powerful painkillers available in the US and is known for providing a euphoric rush similar to that of heroin when administered IV. It is available in oral, rectal, and IM preparations but the IV would most likely only be given in the hospital to patients in severe pain.

"Hey man I just got out of the hospital for breakin my back"
"Oh yeah? You doing alright now?"
"Hell yeah the doc gave me some hospital heroin and Im feelin good as hell"

Heroin Hero 

1.) A game where you wander around a magical forest, shooting yourself with heroin, while chasing a Pink Dragon. But you can never catch it. No score, no crowds, just you and the dragon.

Deemed the ultimate first person shooter.

1.) Stan looks awful because he's been up for 3 days straight playing heroin hero.

Doesn't he know, you can never catch the dragon?

herding cats 

The phrase herding cats comes from the common saying that something involving coordination of many different groups or people is as difficult as herding cats. One of the commonly encountered uses of the term in technical fields is the phrase "Managing programmers is like herding cats" or "Managing engineers is like herding cats". In education it would be "Managing students is like herding cats". In reality, it would be "Managing cats is like herding cats." It refers to the individualism common in the stereotypical examples of programmers and domesticated cats. A similar phrase, allegedly of Irish origins, is "Minding mice at a crossroads".

Me: Yo. I was having trouble.
You: So, managing cats was like herding cats?
Cats: Ya!

Heroinsmith 

The very first video game which teaches you how to shoot up with real needles. Heroinsmith is a lot like it's predecessor, Heroin Hero, but it uses real needles and real heroin instead of simulated heroin. Heroinsmith is usually played before playing Rocksmith to help you relax before playing.

I fucked up my Rocksmith career by playing too much Heroinsmith.
