The Hawking Test

"The Hawking Test" is a way of settling any debate over whether or not an activity qualifies as a sport (i.e. chess, NASCAR, cheerleading, etc.). When debating, take a step back and ask yourself "could Stephen Hawking participate in this activity?" If the answer is yes, then that activity is definitely not a sport. If the answer is no, it can qualify as a sport.

While watching a commercial for World Series of Poker on ESPN -

You: "You know, I don't understand why poker keeps showing up on ESPN, it isn't even a sport."

Your Friend: "Poker definitely counts as a sport, it takes a lot of skill!"

You: "Come on man... poker doesn't even pass The Hawking Test. That man can play poker. Poker isn't a sport."

reed-hasting

prematurely abandoning an established industry or practice, on the belief that something that is new or cutting-edge will be successful and profitable regardless of its quality or readiness.

Eponym referring to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, who spun off the DVDs-by-mail service that had defined his company's success, re-branded it poorly, and retained the Netflix name for online streaming in the belief that it alone was the future of the industry.

It's important that we promote green energy, but we need to stop reed-hasting, or we'll just end up throwing more money at failing companies like Solyndra.

Crusty Hastings

The extreme end of a cigarette, usually a gift from a vagrant or otherwise trashy individual. Like a bust down only way smaller. The dregs.

"I needed a cigarette, but I could only get that guy's crusty hastings."

"Hey man, can I get your crusty hastings?

Hanking

When you adamantly tell your friends that you will order a dog cage at the Trump International Hotel & Tower Chicago to put your girlfriend in and weeks go by but you definitely didn't put your girl in a dog cage.

To make extravagant promises to your boys in the group thread and then not follow through at all.

Henry was straight hanking us the whole time. That dude was never going to do that. Such a fake blam

Don Haskins

Don Haskins is the greatist college basketball coach there ever was. He didnt think black, white, latino, native american, asian, male, or femal he just thought players. He treated all his players the same way thats why he was the first coach ever to put in five black starters in a 1966 championship game agianst Kentucky not only to put them in but to win the game. His team was Texas Western College (TWC)and nobody expected this little no-name college from El Paso to win the whole thing. Many call him couragess and a pioneer in racial history but he claims he just did what they needed to do to win the game and put in his best players. They just happened to be black. He is VERY humble and is a great man.

I suggest you read Glory Road which Coach Haskins himself wrote or see the movie. Both will give you a better idea about this truly significant moment in history which ofcourse,couldn't have happened without Don Haskins.
