Turtling

(v.) The act of taking one's backpack, emptying the contents, flipping the backpack inside-out, putting the contents back in, and zipping the backpack up.

The act of turning one's backpack inside out. Typically done to a classmate when he/she is zoned out, or just very involved in the lesson that day.

A very funny practical joke, that will be appearing in the 2014 Olympics as Speed Turtling.

Usually done by ninja-like people, who are adept in the art of stealth. If the turtlee happens to catch the turtler in the act, the turtler has to return the contents of the backpack to their original state.

*reaches for a pencil* "Dude, what happened to my backpack?"

"I don't know man, looks like you got turtled! Haha!"

"What the heck is that??"

"Can't you see your backpack? Looks like that ninja kid in the back of class has done some turtling..."

*struggles to get pencil*

The wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.

A phrase used to refer to people who don't know how to spell when contributing entries to urbandictionary.com.

"the wheel is turing but the hampsters dead" is not a real phrase. This guy's an idiot; it's like the wheel is turning but the hamster is dead.
