Triskaidekaphobia

This is fear of the number 13. It goes back to the time of Christ where there were 13 at the last supper and is a surprisingly common fear. Hotels rarely have a 13th floor and many people will not be part of a group of 13; Winston Churchill, for example, refused to dine at a table with 13 guests.

Tricky Dick

Originally a nickname used to refer to former U.S. President Richard Nixon. It was actually coined by Democratic politician Helen Gahagan Douglas during the 1950 U.S. Senate race in California because of Nixon's usage of dirty tricks to gain an advantage. It's often incorrectly assumed that the nickname was invented because of Nixon's involvement in the Watergate Scandal, when in reality the scandal was just another instance of him being the Tricky Dick that we know and love.

Sometimes the name is reused in reference to Vice President Dick Cheney for no particular reason.

Also, a very thing to call anybody who prefers to be known as Richard, Dick, or Dickie (in which case the name can become Tricky Dickie).
That Tricky Dick spread all sorts of slander about me in the 1950 Senate race!

Tristyn

A beautiful, intelligent and wise girl. She's the type of girl you would always want in your life,
although very quite at times, she has her loud side. She is known for having a lot of self respect and dignity; something most girls in this day and age don't have. Although perceived as a boring person, she is absolutely one of the most interesting person to talk to once you get to know her.
Girl: Who's that girl over there?

Guy: Only the most amazing person ever; Tristyn

Triska

The sound produced by a can of beer (or soft drink) when opened. In a metaphorical sense, a triska means a treat, a delightful little plunder that opens up the night with a sense of excitement and anticipation. It is the upmost compliment to an act of skill or pleasure. The smaller the triska is, the greater the delight is. E.g. That goal kick was a little triska!
What a little Triska!
