Making Wow

The state that is fabulously drunk. Loud, boorish obnoxious and very inebriated. Making wow involves table dancing, inappropriate behavior with service staff, disrespectful (but often hilariously self destructive) behavior with loved ones, bouncers and some times the police.

This expression has its source in the Funny or Die's second Ed Hardy Boys short movie. Post climax, Christian Audigier utters the sentence: "Lets make Wow!, Lets make Wow!" to the boys and durst. Perhaps this is a cynical interpretation of Audigier's meaning but it certainly is the closest, in my opinion, to what will occur in reality.
1 - Did you see Paul last night at the club?
2 - Dude! He was making wow!
1 - He managed to get that girl's number before getting thrown out and passing out on the sidewalk.
2 - Nice...

making lame social conversation

When a party guest has nothing in common with you and makes attempts to find out what you are interested in. He may also bring up subjects that really have no interest to anyone. The guest's attempts are lame and superficial. He has no intentions to find out who you really are and does not want to be seen at the party by himself and talking to no one.
"So, what do you think of the cold weather today? Did you catch the big game? What do you do for a living? Did you hear about the towel sale at the mall?"

I had to ditch that guy at the party. He was making lame social conversation.
