hamlet

Main character in a venerated Shakespeare play of the same name. He comes from a family so dysfunctional that only the Skywalkers rival it in Jerry Springer potential.

A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she followed my poor father's body,
Like Niobe; all tears, why she, even she--
O God, a beast, that wants discourse of reason,
Would have mourned longer--married with my uncle,
My father's brother...

Hamlet, 1.2.147-151

i.e. Hamlet's mother marries her brother-in-law a month after her husband was murdered

hamlet

Title and main character of a kickass Shakespeare play. Gets quoted a lot. Has an awesome death scene at the end (ruined it for you!). About three hours long when it's actually performed, though.

-What's your favorite Shakespeare play?
-Hamlet, man!

fat hackley bitch

An overtly loud, rather large, heavily intoxicated female, often found at large social gatherings such as parties, that will stop at nothing to get in a guy's pants; the classic fat party hoe that tries to rape you and all your friends after only one drink, exposing her true motives. Often times forces herself on small, weak, defenseless males, too timid to resist the heaving rolls of doom. Gives the gift that keeps on giving.

Steve: Dude, poor Chris. Last night at his party he passed out and got violated by Monica.
Marco: Oh shit! That could've been me. Sean had to fight off that fat slut with a chair. Luckily he yelled, "Twinkies!" and she waddled away into the kitchen.
Chris: Goddamn fat hackley bitch!

Pulling a Hamlet

Occurs when an employee leaves work prior to the company’s cultural expectation of 7:00pm. This is true even if they came in before 7:00am or worked virtually the rest of the evening.

Employee 1:"Hey where is Joe? Is he in a meeting?"

Employee 2: "No, he's pulling a Hamlet." or "No, he pulled a Hamlet."
