A game played at swimming pools. Part of the group waits in the pool unsuspectingly, while someone else runs in with water guns and starts shooting cold water at everyone. The resulting shock and surprise ruins everyone's day at the pool.
Johnny and I were swimming when Zoe and Margot ran in and shot ice cold water at us and started a game of Opening Night.

Refers to where you open a can of soup or fish wif a can opener even though said tasty-comestibles container has a built-in pull-tab.
Employing da "redundant can-opener usage" action isn't necessarily always a silly or time/effort-wasting operation --- it eliminates da hazardously-sharp torn-metal edge, and thus it can enable you to more-safely empty out da can's contents without risking cutting yourself (great for if you're having young and therefore-more-easily-injured children helping you prepare da meal), plus it allows you to more-thoroughly clean out da can instead of wastefully leaving a ring of perfectly-edible food inside da slightly-encroaching-into-da-can's-interior rim of da can.
