Falter Ego

What some might define as an 'alter ego' except for the fact that the person is aware of the change between their usual and abnormal selves.
When someone is trying to impress a certain group of people, they may snap out their falter ego and put on a show to make those people think they're cool by their standards, when really they're just posing.

Gill: "Oh my gosh, I heard you and Bob broke up!"
Jen: "Yeah, he had a falter ego."
Gill: "Pardon me?"
Jen: "He'd act one way around me and my friends so that we'd like him, but then become his true self around all his buddies. I didn't like the real him, and the fact that he tried to hide it with a falter ego is worse."
Gill: "Well, good for you!"

filter face

The expression you get when you inhale the very last tobacco in your filter cigarette. The red-glowing tobacco usually causes the filter to heat up instantly, transfering painful heat to your lips.

Can also be used in a negative term to offend someone:

"Jonnern has a permanent filter face".
"If I had a filter face like yours, I'd kill myself."

Filterblast

A Filterblast is a drag (puff, pull, toke, etc.) that is taken from any rolled tobacco product (with a built-in filter; i.e. Cigarettes, Cigarillos) that has burned too close to the filter. The filter of most rolled tobacco products is made from fiberglass and, while fiberglass serves as a good tobacco filter, it is certainly not meant to be inhaled into human lungs. The effects of a Filterblast are unmistakable -an immediate semi-constriction of the upper esophageal sphincter, an unpleasant burning sensation throughout the lungs, and, in some cases, harsh coughing.

A Filterblast usually occurs for at least one of the following reasons: a) The Filterblasting individual in question is low on tobacco and desires to make use of every last bit of their supply, thus causing them to take that last regrettable drag that burns up part of the filter; b) The individual is intoxicated and is unaware of the fact that the cherry on their tobacco product has burned so close to the filter.

a) Glancing at the single cigarette left in his pack, Johnny wonders how he will make his tobacco supply last until tomorrow's payday. Sizing up the burning cigarette in his hand, he wonders if he can get one last drag out of it so that he can hold off on lighting his last one for a while. Toking his cigarette, he quickly pulls it away from his lips and starts to choke. Johnny has clearly made a bad judgment call, as his final toke turned out to be a Filterblast.

b) Stumbling back to the bonfire at a bush party, Billy takes a long pull on his cigarette. Upon inhaling, his chest seizes up and he begins to cough. It is at this point that he realizes that he has just taken a Filterblast.

shellout falter

A condition or behavior that comes over some people, because they are cheap or short of funds, when the check arrives. Coined by the late, great Roger Miller.

"When you're in a restaurant it's funny how people at the table get shellout falter when the bill comes."

Spooky filter

A blue camera filter that filmmakers choose to use because they think it will create a "spooky" atmosphere, but it is in fact, for lack of better word, stupid.

DUUUUUUDE!!! Did you see dead silence? Spooky filter...not cool.
