A shot of liquor that occurs near the end of a party when everyone involved is already significantly intoxicated. One genius gets the idea to consume more shots despite the knowledge that these shots will result in blackout drunkenness.

Something that happened in the USA for afew days. Contrary to poular belief, the reason for it was NOT terrorism, the US government, an accident at a powerplant, the Canadian government, or a bunch of squirrels that all jumping on the powerlines at once. IT WAS ALIENS TRYING TO PREPARE TO CONCOR THE WORLD. They caused the blackout, trying to make people go insane so they could start coming down while everyone was in caos.

Get the blackout mug.Commonly misued by airlines and credit card companys, a blackout date is the action of taking a girl out on some sort of date which has the sole purpose of getting her blacked out so she will engage in activites she normally wouldn't agree to. This can be done the traditional way with dinner at a nice restaurant involving many glasses of wine, followed by drinks at a bar until the desired amount of word slurrage and stumbling occurs. Other non-traditional methods include inviting a girl on a date, having her meet you at your house and then feeding her "pre-dinner" shots and drinks until she's agreeing with your notion to "stay in".
Guy 1: "I can't believe Amy agreed to go out with you, where're you taking her?"
Guy 2: "Probably to Vallarta's to get some 60oz margaritas and some chips, if she's lucky"
Guy 1: "So it's a blackout date then?"
Guy 2: "You know it, I'll have the end of the night video ready by tomorrow afternoon"
Guy 1: "Great Success!"

Get the BlackOut mug.Blackout dates are dates when travel (airline) rewards and other special discounts/promotions are not available.
These dates typically fall on or around major holidays or other peak travel seasons.
Awards are given by airlines to attract potential fliers away from other carriers and keep them loyal by promising lower fare on future flights. Awards are tailored to create higher incentive to travel on days other than the Blackout dates. On Blackout dates, more travelers fly by necessity. Hence, a carrier can charge a higher price and yet fill its capacity as the competition is also being fully booked on the Blackout dates. A carrier can maximize profits by providing incentives to loyal but flexible travelers to plan and move their travel dates to lower traffic days, there by allowing other fliers at premium priced tickets on the Blackout dates. The other days are often graded so that the awards afford more on less preferred days.

Blackout day,
Your favorite airline is having a sale. You hurry to snag some tickets only to discover every date you want to fly is excluded from the promotion.
Alas, this is business as usual. Airlines know the dates or days of the week you'll happily fly with no extra incentive. And if passengers will pay more, airlines will charge more.
Some airlines don't even bother with the phrase "blackout dates," possibly because it smacks of overkill when five days out of a week are blacked out (many sales are good for Tuesday and Wednesday flights only). Be flexible enough to fly on the sale days, or at least one of those days and you'll reap some savings.
Other airlines keep you guessing. The fine print on Frontier's recent Black Friday sale stated, "Seats are limited at these fares and certain flights and/or days of travel may be unavailable especially during busy travel periods." Translation: Expect lots of blackout dates, plus blacked-out flight times, meaning it will be harder to get a seat during the most popular times to fly. When you see such disclaimers, it's imperative that you shop an airfare comparison site. You may find better deals elsewhere, particularly on the blackout dates.
