social clopen 

When a retail slave closes the store, gets wasted at a bar or party, then has to open the next day. Occurs as the result of a scheduling snafu where the retail manager overhears that his or her retail robots are going to a party and makes the schedule such that they get 8 hours in between shifts to party, eat, sleep, shower, iron clothes and shave. As a result, the retail robots typically omit many of those steps (especially the ironing clothes part), and go to work wasted the next morning, if at all.
Knowing he had to be at work at 5 a.m. the next day for inventory, James social clopened, threw a kegger, and ultimately threw up all over the office the next morning.

Cross clopen

You've heard of the clopen, now get ready for cross clopen. It's when you have two jobs and you close at one job and open at the other job the next day.
I have to do a cross clopen between my two jobs tonight and tomorrow. Yay me!!!!!

copenhagen straight 

Only the most round-house kicking, terrorist killing, freedom-loving dip there is. Made from all-natural American tobacco with a flavor that tastes like liberty.
Friend: "Got a lip of Skoal Cherry I can throw in?"

"Do you want to burn an American flag too you pussy? I dip Copenhagen Straight!"

Clopening 

Clopening is what one does when an erratic work schedule requires that one works until closing time on a given day, and then that they open on the next day. Variations include "Clopen," "Clopener," etc.
Andy: "Man, babe. I really hate my work schedule. They have me closing tonight, and then I open tomorrow. I'll never get any sleep."

Brenz: "Yup, they have you working a Clopening shift!"
