finals coma

The act of engaging of copious amounts of sleep, often aided by over-the-counter sleep aids, either to prepare for or recover from an exhausting period of studying and exams.

So named because preparation for, and getting through, final exams often leaves students sleep-deprived, particularly graduating seniors and students majoring in fields that require excessive amounts of memorization or explicit attention to detail. This naturally leads to a period of rest wherein the subject is so unresponsive to stimuli that they may appear to be under the influence of a low-grade elephant tranquilizer or comparable sedative.

Persons in need of a finals coma can often be identified by red-rimmed eyes, fingers stained with highlighter ink, empty caffeinated-beverage containers, and a slow, shambling gait, as that of a zombie.
Student 1: You ready for finals next week?

Student 2: Yeah, Sunday, I plan on popping some Tylenol PMs and sleeping for 14 hours just make sure I don't miss my 8 am exam.

Student 1: Need a finals coma, eh?

Student 2: Yeah.

or

Student A: I just finished my last exam.

Student B: Sweet, let's go get drunk!

Student A: Dude, it's only noon and I haven't slept all week--let me get in a finals coma, and we'll hit the bar around midnight.

Student B: Sounds good!

Final Fantasy

A famous JRPG series created by SquareSoft now known as SquareEnix. The reason why it had the "final" because it SquareSoft's last game before the first Final Fantasy became a success. The series has some of the greatest games created. However, the diversity in the FF series with each new installment created the most divided fanbase that rivals Smash Bros. Hardcore and Casual wars
Person: I think FF13 is one of my all time favorite games ever.
Other Person: You should ashamed of yourself for liking that disaster of a game. It shouldn't deserve the Final Fantasy brand. The plots dumb, the battle system is boring, and the game is LINEAR......
Another Person: Well I think FF 9 is better.

winter finale

BS name for the last tv show before a show TAKES A BREAK for a few months and it restarts in the Spring.... sad attempt to increase the drama of a show even though it's not needed.
ABC likes to hype the "winter finales" of all it's crappy shows by pretending audiences into thinking it's important.
