Drowning contest

When two or more people compare and argue about who has had a harder life, thinking they somehow can win at being a loser.

Person A: "My dad beat me when I was a kid."

Person B: "At least your dad was around."

Person A: "Dude, this isn't some kind of...drowning contest. We've all had hardships."

[Drown] Ziggy

To Urinate. Specifically (but not exclusively) in a urinal.

Origin: Certain urinal drains bear an uncanny resemblance to classic comic strip character Ziggy staring up at you. (two beady eye and a giant nose)
If the drain is backed up, or you have a exceptionally robust stream, it is possible to completely submerge the "nose" and therefore "Drown Ziggy"
As nothing good ever happens to Ziggy, it is rather fitting.

"I'll be right back, I need to go Drown Ziggy".
"I drank so much last night that when I took a piss I almost drowned Ziggy."

drowning

Suffocating in water. This is usually lethal for humans if this occurs for an extended period as this will cause a lack of oxygen, which may also cause brain damage, or even (brain) death.

Unable to get a grip on the board, this guy's inability to swim caused him to start drowning.
