A German Baptism describes the first spill of alcohol - preferably beer while opening the can - on a new piece of clothing.
Dear piece of clothing,
honoring the legendary tradition of the "German Baptism", you are now officially ready to endure endless nights in muggy bars and wicked beer tents.

A baptism in fire is the transition and loss of purity of an individual. In a sense it is consensual loss of innocence for a individual so they can grow.
I think that girl is cute, but she doesn’t seem mature enough; I don’t think she’s had her baptism in fire yet.

The official definition is unknown to all other than the anonymous Kettering University student that was in the mens bathroom on the corner of units 33 & 34 on one whimsical day within Thompson Hall. The word was played horizontal in a match of Kettering Crossword. Many students came to question the meaning, some even ventured to come up with their own definition but no one truly knows other than the author who wrote this prodigious term on the wall within the stall.
"Hey have you seen Compton Baptism written on the wall inside the first stall?"
"What the fuck does Compton Baptism mean?"
"A Compton Baptism has to have some kind of sexual meaning"
"That guy who wrote Compton Baptism on the wall is one major player"

The act of holding the drinking horn with the tip pointing "away" from the celebrant of any Heathen/Asatru ritual causing the person to accidentally drench themselves in mead. Usually, it only happens once, but repeat occurrences of the phenomenon are not unheard of.
"Did you see Trogdor Thorsson's Heathen Baptism at Sumbel?"
"Holy shit, that guy almost drowned in mead- they had to refill the entire horn... I think he's still sputtering!"

A Mountaineer Baptism is when an Appalachian State University fan plunges themselves into the waters of the Duck Pond, which contain high levels of bird's fecal matter and urine. This usually will take place after a big sporting event win. Those who undergo a mountaineer baptism usually contract chlamydia from the birds via the water.
After the Miracle on the Mountain (AppState winning the football game at the last second), the drunk students stormed the field and underwent a Mountaineer Baptism down at the Duck Pond.
