proper spelling

1. A skill that is rapidly becoming anachronistic since the advent of the computer age. Being able to spell words correctly as they appear in a dictionary of the English language.

2. Something so rapidly diminishing that it prompted a major university to do a study showing that it's not really necessary, that as long as the first and last letters of a word are in place, we can figure it out. So apparently spelling for its own sake would be useless, then. Fuckers.
I am bitter because no one employs proper spelling any more, instead choosing to take the easy road in our society of instant gratification.

Spalding Beer

A half empty (or half full depending on how you look at it) can or bottle of beer. Most found during or after private school parties. Occurs when Catholic school boys try to look really cool by saying "hey brah, I drank like 25 beers last night"...when really all they did was drink 3 sips then put the can down to get a new one.
You could get wasted if you drank the SPALDING BEERS that are laying around.

damn, this must have been a private school party...there are lax stix and spalding beers everywhere.

Poo Stalling

Being a very revolutionary concept, Poo Stalling is when one holds in their poo for the sole purpose pooping later when an undesirable event comes up that the poo-carrier would rather not attend. Poo Stalling causes every attendee to wait on the individual who chooses to poo at the time of the event, causing them to be anxious, mad, or even outright anal (if you will). Fortunately, pooping is a practice that can deter any suspicion as to why the one Poo Stalling showed up late, or didn't show up at all. Poo Stalling is a valuable and strategic art. It can be the final solution when circumstances seem daunting. Poo Stalling can even save lives.
Hilary had to attend a lame forum but luckily by Poo Stalling she was able to miss half the lecture and avoid any overly-concerning questions by her peers.
