Yale Mary 

The act of applying to a prestigious university with a low acceptance rate (such as Harvard or Yale) without additionally applying to a designated "safety school" or having a back-up plan in case the chosen school does not accept the applicant-- similarly to the Hail Mary play in football.
"So what schools are you applying to?"
- "Just Princeton, yolo man..."
"What about your safety school man, that place has like a 10% acceptance rate!"
- "Nah man, I'm pulling a Yale Mary!"

hail-Mary hand-in 

Your teacher has assigned several homework assignments whose due-dates are spaced out over the course of the semester. You don't bother to do any of them. The night before the final, you realize what a mistake that was, and you hurriedly do all of the homework assignments in succession. On entering the final exam, you plop the lot of them on the teacher's desk, unceremoniously and without explanation. This hail-Mary hand-in subsequently becomes an object of incredulity and amusement among your teacher's colleagues.
Can you believe that Dwayne D. pulled a hail-Mary hand-in on me at the final? He must be delusional.

Holy Name of Mary 

A school in Almonte which is riddled with student cliques and teachers who ignore bullies and blame victims. The "Bully Prevention Program" actually teaches students how to bully. Intelligence, using commuters and passing your classes results in you being hated by all students. Not being related to all the other students in the school also causes you to be alienated. Most (not all) are lazy and unable to teach anything. The interior of the school is dark and the yard is rundown and muddy. The three portable classrooms are poorly built and dangerously cold. Bottom line this school is a hell hole and sending you are better off sending students to Alcatraz then to this school.
Aidan: Dude what do you have against Holy Name Of Mary?
Ralph: Where do I begin...

Mount Saint Mary

An all girls catholic school in Watchung, Nj. Full of hot girls who are actually smart. They can choose whichever guy they want because they go to mount, but they are very selective and only choose the finest delbarton and seton hall prep guys. Every guy from saint joes wants them but they are too good and holy. Way way way better than Oak Knoll.
Tom: Yo congrats on your new girlfriend she’s hot. Where does she go to school?
Ryan:S-
Tom: Naw dude I already know she goes to Mount Saint Mary, she’s too hot to go to Oak Knoll

Hot Potato Halo Mary 

The act of throwing a hail mary grenade pass at the surviving teammate of a Hot Potato at the start of a Halo Reach match on Xbox Live while saying "and he goes for the hail mary!" on the headset piece. Originating in Jan 2011 in North Alabama, this move has pissed off thousands who play Halo Reach. 80% of the time this move works and the targeted teammate is killed. If the 4th teammate is still alive then the hunt and quest begins for killing him. This hunting scenario is called the Halo Rabbit Hunt. Please refer to Hot Potato for events leading up to the Hot Potato Halo Mary to better understand the process which takes place.
That dood survived the hot potato but I got him with the Hot Potato Halo Mary!
