Halo effect

(Noun) Also known as pretty privilege. A well-documented phenomenon in which human perception of a person’s character/trustworthiness is impacted by that person’s physical attractiveness/beauty. Studies found that when two focus groups were each shown a photo of a different person (one beautiful, one not), and shown an identical list of crimes that person committed, the focus group (or “jury”) gave the beautiful person a lighter sentence.
“Wow, that cop was so nice to me! I was speeding by 20, and he let me off with a warning!”
“It’s probably because you’re pretty.”
“Haha! I guess the halo effect really works”

Halo Workout

At the end of a Halo game, everyone playing takes the number of deaths they had during the last round, does that many push-ups and then proceeds to do double that number of sit-ups. The goal is to equal out days of Halo play with a little excercise.
Alright, I had seven deaths. I'll do the Halo Workout and be back in seven push-ups and fourteen sit-ups.

Hot Potato Halo Mary

The act of throwing a hail mary grenade pass at the surviving teammate of a Hot Potato at the start of a Halo Reach match on Xbox Live while saying "and he goes for the hail mary!" on the headset piece. Originating in Jan 2011 in North Alabama, this move has pissed off thousands who play Halo Reach. 80% of the time this move works and the targeted teammate is killed. If the 4th teammate is still alive then the hunt and quest begins for killing him. This hunting scenario is called the Halo Rabbit Hunt. Please refer to Hot Potato for events leading up to the Hot Potato Halo Mary to better understand the process which takes place.
