The game of hearts is scored in a golf sort of way. The lower the score the better. Usually the game is played to 100; when one player reaches one hundred, the game ends. If playing for money, payoff is based on point differential, but it has many variations.
All hearts are worth a point each, and the queen of spades is 13.
So you have one of two objectives in each hand: sluff off as many hearts and the Queen as possible to stay low or ... if you think you have the hand, "shoot the moon" by capturing all the hearts and the queen. If you do, each of your opponents is "assessed" 26 points. (shooting the moon)
It's a great play, but a risky one. A player looking to shoot the moon often gets all but say 1 or 2 points. So instead of his opponents being hit for 26 each, they get zero and you would eat 24 points(if another player had, say, 2 hearts)

Person one: Man, I can't believe that Sara's going out with Jack already; she just broke up with Nick three weeks ago.
Person two: Yeah, soon Jack'll be moping over there in the corner as well; Sara's such a shooting star she'll be after some other poor bloke before too long.

Get the shooting the bird mug.Really crappy city just north of Seattle. Split into two halves by the freeway, Shoreline is an underdeveloped, boring, shitbox that tortures teenagers with its boring-ness. The only pleasant part is Richmond Beach, because thats the most up and coming area. To do anything, people have to brave the traffic to Seattle, because there isn't any public transportation. The school district used to be good, but now is in a horrible deficit, and filled with crappy teachers and corrupt administration.
"I live in Shoreline"
"You mean Seattle?"
"No, Shoreline, its North of Seattle."
"you mean Edmonds?"
"No, Shoreline, its in between those two!"
"Oh! You mean Shitbox-ville. that place is boring man!"
