The act of engaging another in an argument that is so self-evidently preposterous that doing so provides dangerous validation to the other party. Usually refers to arguments with bipolar ex-girl or boyfriends, often with a history of employment in various clothing-optional adult entertainment industries.
#1: Stripper Sara cornered me at the bar & started screaming at me again about her missing John Mayer CDs. She knows I would rather tear out my eardrums & set them on fire than listen to that douche.

A student who finds themselves "on the edge" of a new grade at the end of the quarter. For example, a person with a 96 A that only needs a few points to reach a 97 A+. A skilled GPA Negotiator will often times BEG their teacher for ANY last minute extra credit or ANYTHING THEY CAN DO to get their grade up a mere few points. A successful GPA Negotiator will often use guilt tactics and and make sure they tell their teacher that the "want to succeed," when in reality it is just to get their grade up by doing little to no effort. GPA Negotiation is the main cause of GPA Inflation.
------------ Example of a GPA Negotiator at work------------
Student - Excuse me, Mr. Smith. I would like to talk to you about my grade
Teacher - Yes? You have a 96 in this class
Student - Yes, however I REALLY need to get it up to an A+ so my parents will be proud of me. Is there ANYTHING I can do to raise it a mere 1 point?
Teacher - Well... I'm not supposed to be doing this, but I will allow you to write a small paper for a point extra credit. Turn it in to me tomorrow and don't tell you any of your peers
Student - Thank you very much, I am very appreciative......... *walks of with a smug grin*

When you have a throbbing, pulsating boner but she is still talking about her mom, so you breathe deeply through your nose and fight off the ape within.
