The term originates from hackey-sack. A gravity check is when an easily playable sack hits the ground only because it was coming down equidistant between two or more players and each player didn't make an attempt because they thought someone else would play it.
The term can also be used in business to describe a situation where nobody on the team works on a task because they think someone else must already be working on it.

Your boss emails the whole team, "Gravity check. Earlier I sent an email to all of you asking that one of you please call the client today. Did any of you actually call the client?"

Get the cora checkmug. A hot girl entering a fast food joint.
When an attractive female walks into one such establishment, such as McDonalds, Burger King, White Castle, G.D. Ritzys, etc. The first "playing" employee to notice said female will call out "fry check" followed by the girls location so that all other interested employees know and have a chance to grab a glance.
Great way to help pass eight hours of flipping burgers.
While men are usually the only ones interested in actually seeing the "fry check", girls are often involved in calling them out when spotted. This can also be turned into a game where the first to call the check is awarded a point (or fractional points for semi attractive girls) and at the end of the night the winner is bought a coke by the others playing. You can add any twist to this you want.
