To commit suicide. Reference comes from online video games, where a player quits the game when they are tired of playing or disillusioned with their suckage.
In these games, such as Call of Duty (pre modern warfare 2), one of the players in the game is randomly and unknowingly given the host connection. If this player leaves the game, it ends the match for everyone :(
When a player is fed up and tired of getting owned, they may decide to leave the game. When doing so, one might exclaim they are going to "find out if they are the host", referring to the possible outcome when they leave the game and as a result the game ends for all the players.
The term refers to committing suicide, as in similar frustration when leaving a video game.

Get the Find out if I'm the Host mug.This phrase was created by players of the video game Halo 3 on XBOX Live. When multiple players join a single game online, one player's XBOX is chosen to be the "host" of the game. All other players' XBOX's must communicate information with the host's. When there is high ping or lag, the delay in the transer of information can create problems in-game. It is not uncommon that the host will have a slight advantage over other players when buttons or actions are performed at almost the same time, especially in game types such as "Grifball" or "SWAT" which depend largely upon attacking at exactly the right moment to beat one's opponent. After-game statistics in Grifball games often reveal which player had "host" when most players' kill-to-death ratio is very negative or near zero but the host's ratio is extremely positive regardless of the skill of the players. The host experiences no delay in the processing of information (he has no lag) and therefore can often attack before his opponent (as far as the game is concerned). Even if both players press their buttons at exactly the same time in "RL" (Real Life), the player with host presses it first because non-host players' "button-press" of information must travel to the host's XBOX before the game acknowledges it.
In Grifball and SWAT the team with host almost always wins when latency is high. The term "sick host" describes such a situation. When one team can consistently kill players of the other team regardless of skill, but only because of having host and not experiencing lag, it is said that they have "sick host." "Sick" is colloquial modifier similar to 'awesome' which here greatly amplifies 'host.'
Whichever team has the player who has host does not necessarily win, but if a team has "sick host" there is no possible way for the opposing team to win. Playing a team with "sick host" is extremely frustrating and annoying because the game is never fair, and non-host players must suffer being "pwnd" for the duration of the game.

Red Team Player: "Dude! I just head-shotted this guy when he came around the corner but he somehow killed me and didn't die!"
Red Team Teammate: "I know dude. He's got SICK HOST. Every time I run into that guy we both shoot at the same time but he always kills me."

Get the Phone Hostage mug.A female attending Hofstra University that is known for wearing short mini-skirts, Ughh boots, small tops and too much make up any time of the day or year. Hofstra Girls usually are anorexically thin but become so thin by use of cocaine. They are prone to sleeping around and nailing most anyone. From Thursday to Sunday night (and most week nights too) they can be found at one of the local bars such as McCeeb's, Bogart's, or the Dizzy Lizard geting wasted so that they the will sleep with anyone. They usually carry hofstra red so use of a condom while scoring this easy easy lay is recommended.
"What's wrong with that girl over there? She looks so sickly, why doesn't she put on less slutty clothes? ... Oh she's a Hofstra Girl? Nevermind then, ugh."
