skitching the wagon

A period of deliberate abstinence from alcohol to assuage concerns that the subject is an alcoholic, only to resume drinking the moment no one is looking. The act of faking sobriety.

Derived from 'skitching' (skate hitching, i.e. grabbing onto a car for momentum while skateboarding or rollerblading) and the 'wagon' metaphor for sobriety (on the wagon, fall off the wagon, etc).

"Happy Humpday, Bill. Skitching the wagon again, I see."
"I haven't had so much as an O'Doul's in days. If these goddamn inspectors aren't out of here by Monday, I'm gonna lose my fuckin' mind."
"Wanna smell my flask? There's nothing in it, but-"
*grab* *SSSSSNNNNNNIF* "Oooohhh..."

Sketchial Needs

Sketchial Needs people are in everyones life, whether it be the ones wandering your school, inhabiting the local Tim Horton's for hours upon hours or in the mall doing something questionable.

Sketchial Needs is where they are NOT special needs, but just weird and sketchy, and do weird things that make you stop and think for a moment "maybe they ARE special needs". They lack any fashion sense. All ability to be cool, despite their fervent efforts and make fools out of themselves constantly. However there is no excuse for such a personality because they are completely able to fix themselves and become awesome.

The totally ballin Tim Horton's worker Tyler leans against the counter as someone with Sketchial Needs walks in.

"Oh great, heres Mrs. Sketchial Needs again" he says to Brittany.
She replies " ugh shes going to pretend to talk on her cellphone and write with 2 pens again!!"

kart skitching 

The act of placing a shopping cart on the passenger side of a car, and having the passenger lean out the window, while hanging onto the cart. The driver then accelerates the car to the highest speed possible. Then the passenger pushes the cart away aiming for a curb, building, etc. The bigger the crash the better.

Sketchenstein 

n. A combination of the words sketchy and Frankenstein. A name for someone who exemplifies all that is sketchy and strange. A sketchenstein combines the shifty/shady awkwardness of a creeper with the unnatural shuffling and terrible complexion of the undead. Sketchensteins can commonly be encountered working the late night shift at your local fast-food restaurants.

Guy 1: "Look at that creeper behind the counter! Looks like hes been trippin' for a few months straight!"
Guy 2: "See the way he kinda shuffles around? That's a sketchenstein for sure"
