Hair Skate

A true homage to old-school hockey, the "Hair Skate" is commonly defined as the following:

i) A skating session in which the ice time is free of charge, and which generally involves small groups of hockey players taking part in a game of shinny.

ii) The act of applying grease to one's hair prior to the aforementioned game of shinny. May also refer to the application of grease to one's hair prior to any form of hockey, organized or otherwise. The name for this session is derived from the principle that asserts the application of the aforementioned grease to one's hair will enable one's hair to flow gracefully in the wind as they glide down the ice.

Fool's Mate

A chess trap that only complete morons fall for.

The game is infamous for being the "two move checkmate".

1. f3 e5 (f3 is already a rather useless opening, as no pieces are developed with its aid)
2. g4 Qh4#

White is mated in two moves.

This trap almost never occurrs in actual play, as everyone who has even looked at a chess board knows how obvious this trap is.

A similar trap is the Scholar's mate (which is Black's fastest loss) which goes as follows:

1. e4 e5
2. Bc4 Nc6 (Bishop's Opening)
3. Qh5 Nf6??? (Nf6 is a blunder to rule all blunders)
4. Qxf7#

Black is checkmated.

Again, this trap almost never occurs in regular play.

Most chess courses warn about these traps very early on, so anyone who actually falls for them deserves a dunce hat.
Bob: I played chess with my son, Bob Jr. I played Fool's Mate and he took it hook line and sinker.
Alice: Heh, funny. I started hanging out with the jocks in high school after a nerd humiliated me with the Scholar's mate.

Wears Thrasher, the 2 XL shirts and a hoodie for weeks on end without changing. Stands there with his board looking extra Radical for scene points but doesn't even try skate when he knows how to do nothing.
