Linning 

A synonym for winning. However, linning only occurs when the individual who is winning was the underdog whom no one ever believed could amount to anything and was given a chance because no other option was available. This situation is usually accompanied by the linsanity that is the result of watching this individual win so hard. This term was first coined to describe the legendary rise of the New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin.

At the ball, Cinderella was linning!

lining 

Applies to guys as well as ladies. Getting your head lined up just means that they making the edge of your hair not look all scraggly and messed up looking. In some parts, they call it a shape up. A lining is included by default in a haircut, but some folks ask for it separately if they're growing out their hair, got their hair braided, or just have somewhere to be and want to look fresh and clean cut.

"How much y'all linings cost?"

"Y'all take link cards?"
-"Get yo dusty bum ass outta here"
