Bed-Reading

The action of placing a book in your right hand, running full speed at your bed, jumping precisely five feet away from the mattress, completing a one hundred and eighty degree spin while simultaneously crossing the book between your legs. You then land on your back with the book open and proceed to read your story of choice.

Bed-Reading is an extreme sport, only for the elite.

Night Reading

This is the opposite of DayDreaming.

Katie: Hey, bro, what book are you reading?
Josh: I have no idea. I just put my finger in the book night read it.

Katie: Huh?
Josh: Yeah, you know how when you're in school and you're reading in class and your mind wanders off?
Katie: Ya, like daydreaming?
Josh: Exactly! But the opposite! Night Reading is when you sleep while holding a book, and while you're asleep you'll just absorb the information.

silent reading

the long and annoying 10 minutes at the start of an english lesson where the class is silent reading or acting that they're silent reading whilst the teacher uploads the powerpoint. you can usually hear a lot of shuffling, muffled sniffles and whispers about how someone wet themselves at lunch.

failure to bring in a silent reading book can usually end you up with a 10 page essay.

english teacher - ok everybody, 10 minutes of silent reading everybody and i'll take the register. where's your silent reading book?
student - at home, sorry.
english teacher - that's it, the third time this week! 10 page essay for monday, is that understood?

Close Reading

When you heavily analyze someone’s Instagram post or general personal information to figure out who they are as a person/ what is going on.

Very similar to stalking but with an intellectual and analytical twist.

Like criminal minds- but taking it too far.

Friend 1 - Did you see Sam’s Instagram post?

Friend 2 - Yeah I did. It was so chaotic that I had to do a full close reading last night.

Friend 1- Did you hear that Ariana and Finn got back together again?

Friend 2- Wait what!? We need to close read this situation later so we can fully understand what is going on.

sexy t-rexing

A condition that is caused by heavily drinking alcohol.

Symptoms:

-A single arm curls up as your fingers point outwards as if you were a one armed, retarded T-Rex dinosaur.

- A hip slouches to the same side, allowing your elbow to rest on the hip.
- Staring at you in a highly suggestive manner
- Unable to speak a clear modern language

-But able to say 'rawr'

This condition was made famous by a lady named Teal Goodsell from the middle of nowhere, Alaska.

Oh, look, Teal is sexy t-rexing again, it's pretty much the hottest thing in the room.

Reving The Crowd

To Rev the crowd is an action that is preformed at a concert by the lead singer (most likely).

To get the crowd at a show more rowdy, a band member may rev the crowd by placing both hands in the air above his head (like riding a chopper bike) and like you would do on a motorcycle to rev the engine, you twist your hand up and down.
