A poorly-conducted anti-drug campaign that aims to convince kids (via in-classroom surveys) that no one at their school is doing drugs.
The organization is best known for its "Stall Street Journals," which are hung awkwardly in bathroom stalls and often include innovative slogans like "87% of your peers prefer to date someone who DOESN'T SMOKE."
Since the surveys are conducted in classrooms, students often misrepresent themselves and their drug habits for fear of getting caught (or, if they are not drug users, for the thrill of lying).

Kris: As a freshman, I was honest on the Power of Choice survey.
As a sophomore, I said I was a Latina female who uses cocaine once per week.
As a junior, I said I was an Asian male who would prefer to date a smoker and who does not smoke himself.
This year, I'll either be a Native-American female whose parents don't ask where she goes at night, or a Caucasian male who uses ecstasy once per month.
I haven't decided yet.

Get the power house mug.A type of nap (best when aided by PowerNap) that lasts about 20 minutes, and is extremely refreshing.
Hey, man, look at that awesome guy over there! He is taking a Power Nap with his brand new PowerNap! I'm so jealous!

Get the Power Nap mug.The act of spontaneously committing to a lengthy and preferably dangerous road-trip with one or more friends. The Power-Drive is an utterly patriarchal socio-cultural phenomenon and cannot be carried out by women. When women do this it is called PMS on wheels. The spontaneity of the Power-Drive is sacred, it cannot be premeditated and it cannot be convenient. It is a dangerous and gratifying ritual which pitches a team of steel-gutted wing-wheeled bros against such odds as: fatigue, bad weather, the emptiness of a pauper's gas tank and sobriety. The consumption of nicotine is a traditional part of the Power-Drive but is not requisite.

Get the Power-Drive mug.Similar to power nap, the concept of taking a quick nap to relieve exhaustion, but applied to showering. One takes a power shower when they have just engaged in a sweaty activity (i.e., sex or sports) and doesn't have time for a full-length shower. Usually involved rinsing down with soap, instead of shampoo, conditioner, and shaving.
"I had a quickie with my boyfriend during my lunch break today!"
"Didn't you feel gross afterwards?"
"Well, I didn't have time to take the shower I wanted to, so I just took a power shower!"
