Alcatraz

A term used when ordering a tasty beverage with only one ice cube, or "rock."

A whole bunch of "rocks" can water down a top shelf drink, drown the flavor and waste your money. So instead of getting it "on the rocks" you can get it "Alcatraz" and show some respect for you booze.
Customer: Bartender, I'll have a Johnny Blue, Alcatraz.

Bartender: You mean on the rocks?

Customer: No, I mean one rock. If want water I'll order water.

this is an act of the sexual variety, in the ratio of three males: to one female(or bender). The female (orqueer) proceeds to recieve anal, while jacking off a person with both hands. As a result, the recieve should be wailing, like a bird and flapping their arms. Hence the albatros

shoot the albatross

V.
to bring bad luck by accident/circumstance; to jinx.

Taken from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner", a narrative poem in which a sailor shoots and kills an albatross, a seabird said to bring good luck to sailors. The killer is cursed to spend eternity wandering the Antarctic Ocean unless he confesses his sin.

He drifts alone for several years, but finally prays for forgiveness and is saved, gaining a respect for God's creation in the process (the moral of the poem).

Invented at Michigan Lutheran High School.
Bob: We lost the football playoffs; who shot the albatross?
Alice: I did; I accidentally spilled some salt at lunch...

Alice: Don't cross your legs when playing poker. That's the poker equivalent of shooting an albatross.

Bob: If you end up on the cover of a Madden game, you'll shoot the albatross, so to speak, and end your career.

Albatross Day

The first Saturday of April is Albatross Day.

What is this day, you ask? Well, the Albatross, a beautiful bird that brings luck to those it chooses to follow, is a main symbol in the poem "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

Iron Maiden also has a song about the poem if you are interested.

In the poem, the mariner kills the albatross that follows his ship. By choosing to kill the bird, the mariner and his crew are cursed until the day that they die, doomed to have bad luck FOREVER. The curse is a psychological and physical burden that cannot be escaped!!!!!

Ultimately, the mariner had the chance to be lucky for the rest of his life, but he fucked it up. On the first Saturday of every April, YOU have the chance to create your own luck, to find your own albatross.

"Albatross" can also be used to replace the word "luck".
Hey, are you going to the Albatross Day?
FUCK YEAH!

What an albatross day this is!
