permission to blow tubes 

Nautical. Requesting permission to blow hot steam on the tubes in a naval superheated boiler. Often thought to refer to a sailor by the name of Tubes, but this is not correct. The permission is needed because there will be a release of some smoke when tubes are blown.
Engineering Officer: Request permission to blow tubes, sir.
Officer of the Deck: Permission granted.

The Permission 

It's the same thing as "The Shocker", only the girl you are giving it to must know that you are going to do it and still allow you to follow through with it. It's "The Shocker" without the shock.
Me and my girlfriend had the talk last night and I think she's going to let me give her the permission tonight.

Pervation 

Used by extremist environmentalists to refer to acts by human beings inside of nature. Essentially derogatory towards those who believe that even the thoughtful sharing of nature's amenities with humans is ultimately always destructive to nature, and thus a perversion of the natural order of nature. It is a stance which declares that humans do not belong in nature, and are not an integral part of nature.
The pervation caused by the hiking trail in the nature preserve has permanantly altered the eco-system in a manner which will utimately lead to the collapse of the entire region.

Pillow partition 

A pillow partition is a section of pillows placed between two bedmates, who are not lovers, to avoid any accidental touching while asleep. The bedmates using a pillow partition are typically heterosexual males, who are forced to sleep in the same bed on a trip for logistical reasons. If one male is straight, and the other's sexuality can be considered a bit ambiguous, the pillow partition is a necessity. It can also be used to save face to any other males on the trip who might joke about the two bedmates sleeping together.
Example 1: "Yikes, I asked for a room with two beds, not one big bed. Luckily, they gave us enough pillows for a pillow partition."

Example 2:
Person 1 - "Damn, yall slept together in the same bed? Yall must be gay."
Person 2 - "Nah man, it's cool. We had a pillow partition, so nothing touched."

Example 3:
Person 1 - "It sucks that you're going to have to share a bed with Pat. I'm not really sure, but I think he may swing both ways."
Person 2 - "Yeah, I'm going to be enforcing a strict pillow partition rule."
