Third Spaces

Refers to places other than home or school/work that can be used for socializing (everything from movie theatres and public parks to libraries and cafes). Coined by Ray Oldenberg in the 1980's to describe how, even by that time, such spaces were disappearing as fixtures of many communities. In the years since the term's coining, the spaces that have survived have also become increasingly expensive, further restricting their use, especially by young people.
Sam: I'm so bored of hanging out at home! Can't we go somewhere else?
David: Sorry pal, but unless we scrape up some more money, Third Spaces are still off limits.

spaced it

when someone tells you something you should remember but later you don't, yet you remember them explicitly telling you after realizing your mistake. i.e, you spaced out and forgot, hence the name spacing it
guy 1 "hey, I moved your phone on the counter so I could set my stuff down"

guy 2 "okay"

later:

guy 2 "where the hell is my phone? I swore it was on the table"

*find it on the counter* "oh shit, guy 1 told me, I must've spaced it"

space russian

noun,

The strange, garbled text that appears when computer graphics chew up and spit out something you were trying to read. Words may resemble comic-style expletives (#OI%#, #$gO%#i$^l!), but since I'm not from Space Russia, I can't actually produce it on demand. Expect glyphs (letters of the Roman alphabet are rather hard to find in this soup) to fall on top of each other or be cut in half and otherwise shuffled in a mangled cluster of digital illegibility.

Inspired by Space Barbie. Who also only seems to exist online, and communicates mostly through mangled clusters of digital illegibility.
Elliott: Can you tell what that says?
Britt: That mess on the screen? No, it's Space Russian.
Elliott: Exactly. Guess the graphics card needs kicking.
Britt: In Space Russia, graphics card kicks you.
