Mexican Uppercut

A.K.A. Mexican DP, Mexican Dragon Punch

Slang in OG FGC (fighting game community) that gained popularity during the Street Fighter 2 scene when a player that does not know how or want to do proper Dragon Punch (aka. DP, Shoryuken) special move and just does a basic crouching uppercut move instead.

In Street Fighter for shoto characters like Ryu, Ken, Akuma/Gouki, the move is done with Down+HP (aka. Down+Fierce, 2H, 2HP, 2Fierce) and you see the character crouching and doing an uppercut.

Very well known phrase that is still spoken about in the FGC. Still talked about by pros and veterans, such as Alex "CaliPower" Valle of Southern California.
Why DP when you can just do a Mexican Uppercut.

Give yourself an uppercut

When you say or do something quite ridiculous a friend should always be on hand to remind you of your mistake. Usually best said when someone has said something ill timed or embarrassing.
a) So mate, what's doing with your sister? Can I root her?

b) Deadset, give yourself an uppercut

Upperclassmen 

(high school) Upperclassmen are the 2 highest grades of high school. The Juniors, and the seniors. Juniors and Seniors are the big grades of high school. Sophomores are not yet upperclassmen but they're more respected than Freshman. Freshman look up to upperclassmen. Many Freshmen feel intimidated by upperclassmen. But its good for the Freshman to *try* to get on their good side.
The Upperclassmen and the Freshman.......(STORY)

Freshman: "Hey whats up? I heard theres a party tonight, can you tell me where its at?

Junior: Um...Your a freshman right?

Freshman: "Yeah"...

Junior: AAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

shiny upperclassmen syndrome 

When a boy becomes more appealing to a girl simply because he is older than her, specifically if he is an upperclassman (junior or senior in high school). It seems many younger girls are drawn to older guys for this reason, even if he doesn't really have much else going for him. For girls, dating up is somewhat prestigious.
I suppose this could also apply in college, but I have not yet come across that scenario.
"Why does she even like him? He isn't very cute and his personality is just so-so..."

"She must have shiny upperclassmen syndrome."
