New Old Stock, or NOS for short, refers to retail items or products that are still technically brand new, but have never been sold for long periods of time. This is commonly due to newer and/or upgraded versions of the same product being released, rendering the older models obsolete. Thus, this makes them old stock. But because they're still technically brand new, unused, unsold products, they are termed "new old stock".
New old stock units are typically sold at a greatly reduced price, since most of the focus and attention is put onto selling the current models. Retailers and vendors will usually have various quantities of new old stock left over from the previous product generation cycle, and will sell them at reduced prices to clear them out in order to accommodate for newer models.

John: Whoa, got yourself a new tennis racket huh?
Brian: Yep, only cost $60.
John: Wow that's a steal! How'd you get it for so cheap?
Brian: New old stock. This particular racket model came out in 2014, so it's been replaced numerous times already with fancy newer models. I figured hey, it's still technically brand new anyway, and tennis racket technology hasn't really changed over the past few years, so why the heck not?

Get the New Old Stock mug.A music school in Boston with a slight inferiority complex (think Juilliard, Curtis). The string players, pianists, and clarinetists are the freakin' best in the country. It's acronym is NEC, obviously. It's in a wicked old building on Huntington Ave in Boston and has Jordan Hall inside, which is repeatedly called one of the best concert halls in the US.

Get the New England Conservatory mug.
Get the New York City mug.A funny video on youtube.com. It epitimizes a typical guido in Staten Island, NJ shore, etc. It mocks them in the way they dress, tan, cut their hair, and work out at the gym. youtube.com/watch?v=4JMOh-cul6M

Get the my new haircut mug.The day that people realize that all the drinking and partying they did the night prior to (as in New Year's Eve) was worthless, because, in reality, it means nothing. The day of New Year's Eve is exactly the same as New Year's Day. It is also often used for people living crap lives to say all the things they are going to do "this new year", none of which they really will do, that end up being almost identical to last year's.
The only true difference between New Year's Day and the day of New Year's Eve, is that when writing the date, you must change one, or more (depending on what year it changed to) digits in the year category. When in school this becomes a nuisance when teachers deduct points due to writing the wrong date.

Before New Year's Day: "Dude I can't wait for New Year's, but for now, let's just get shit-faced!"
On New Year's Day: "Today is just like yesterday, except it's four degrees colder, and my head hurts like a bitch."

Get the ramsey New Jersey mug.A New York minute is an instant. Or as Johnny Carson once said, it's the interval between a Manhattan traffic light turning green and the guy behind you honking his horn.
It appears to have originated in Texas around 1967. It is a reference to the frenzied and hectic pace of New Yorkers' lives. A New Yorker does in an instant what a Texan would take a minute to do.
