Legal Research and Writing

A crucial lawyering skill best taught at high altitudes, in the foggy mountains of East Asia, by an unremittingly cruel and forbidding sensei. The pupil should be forced to subsist only on a diet of insects and tree bark, must punch out memos until his or her fingers bleed, and must learn to live without sleep -- permanently. Whenever the pupil makes a mistake, he or she must be severely beaten with a Bluebook to the point of unconsciousness.

The training will culminate in a series of near-impossible tests, which may or may not involve the following: fighting rabid panda bears; swimming across a mighty river while carrying a boulder; interviewing pretend clients; retrieving a precious jewel from each of the 94 Federal judicial districts; dueling a demon to the death; and solving ancient riddles.
"Do NOT mess with that guy. He learned Legal Research and Writing from the legendary Chu-Han. I am so not even joking."

Waiting for Igor

"Waiting for Igor" or WFI describes a woman who is either pictured or in person on her knees with her butt raised in the air, even or higher than her shoulders with her butt facing the camera or your POV. She is either nude or in some degree of undress. The implication is that she is presenting herself for doggy-style sex.

The term originated with a pornographic website called Voyeurweb. The posted pictures and videos of women being voyeured or being exhibitionists. In descriptions of the photos, the persons running the site would often refer to women in variations of that pose as "waiting for Igor."

westinghousing

Westinghousing was a late 19th century slang term for the death penalty administered by electrocution in the electric chair. This term is attributed to Thomas Edison by some historians. Edison advocated a direct current system and Westinghouse advocated an alternating current system. Edison suggested alternating current be used for electrocution because he felt AC was more likely to be lethal. Edison sought to discredit Westinghouse by this use of AC.
