referral

A piece of paper given to you (worse than detention)when you do something very very wrong. And you get sent down to the principal's office

Mrs. Campbell gave me a referral because she asked me 5 times to stop talking

reflectors

Reflectors are loyal followers and fans of the band Jerry Garcia tribute band 'Reflections'. Reflectors tend to be loud, crazy, drunk, hooded, sweaty, and have some awesome dance moves. They can often be found on the floor drunk, at the bar making noise, outside smoking, inside smoking, or just awe-struck drooling at the band's magnificence. KOO KOO CA CHOO!

Did you go to Mexicali last night? The band was great but those reflectors are so sweaty!

refrigerator blindness

Selective loss of visual acuity in association with common foraging of the refrigerator. Predominantly seen in children and males.

"Honey, where's the orange juice?"
"Are you blind? Second shelf on the right!"
"Sorry, must be that pesky refrigerator blindness again..."

Bop-type Refrain

An extremely esoteric nickname for cocaine. In the original lyrics to the Cole Porter classic showtune "I Get a Kick Out of You", the second verse begins is "Some get a kick from cocaine". As the years passed, that was changed to "Some like the bop-type refrain" so kids could continue to put on "Anything Goes" as a high-school musical.

People aware of this, wanting to demonstrate their cultural refinement and speak about cocaine, all while avoiding eavesdroppers and self-incrimination, replace the technical name of their drug of choice with "Bop-type Refrain" (or simply "Bop-type", though the later option brings with it a tremendous risk of losing your audience.)

Chris: I'm sick of referring to cocaine as "yatch". It's gone too mainstream.
Kevin: How about "Bop-type Refrain"?
Chris: What the - oh, I get it. I didn't know you were a devotee of musical theater.
Kevin: Eh, I know the Sinatra version.

Refrain

To stop. Often followed by 'from'. 'Refrain' is usually used when speaking about human action.

"Please refrain from using your cell phone in the restaurant, ma'am."

Normally he would have made a Tom Arnold joke at a moment like that, but he was able to refrain from doing so.

refrigerator triage

Deciding what to cook based on how close the food in your refrigerator is to going bad.

Son: What's for dinner?
Mom: I had to do some refrigerator triage so we're having pasta with a whole lot of fried zucchini.
