Christmas Vacation

The best thing that Christmas has to offer. No school for a decent amount of time while you relax with all of your new gifts you got! Also the title of the 1989 movie staring Chevy Chase.
Christmas Vacation is so fucking amazing, especially since I can now play all my new games.

Name Drop Violation

When somebody you know who is a notorious "name-dropper " crosses the line and starts to reference unpopular people as famous or people that have too many degrees of separation from "said"celebrity, hence siblings, in-laws or distant relations as famous or interesting in any way.

Work Talk Violation

When in a social setting, an individual only talks about the work. They have such tunnel vision there unable to discuss any other subject matter that may be interesting to the other party as well. They are at a level of narcissism thinking that other people really want to hear them whine and complain about their work. These individuals tend never to ask questions about what you're doing. On the off chance, if you share some personal information about yourself, they can't remember those details because they are so consumed by their work life.
