Hint and Hope 

Hint and Hope - when someone wants another person to do something specific, or change behavior, but is unwilling to address the issue directly. Regularly used in relationships
John: 'Mary is going out with her work colleagues tomorrow. They suck! I just want her to come home and cook dinner for me so I told her I'd get in a bottle of her favorite wine, help with the washing up and gave her a hug'

Jack: 'No way is that hint and hope going to work, man! Just tell her not to go out with that boring load of ****s'

Hinthuja 

A one-in-a-million girl, who can’t be replaced by any other. There’s never a dull moment with her, you can watch her do nothing without getting bored, she’s just beautiful inside and out. Such a child at heart but the maturest person you’ll know (somehow). She’s very smart and good with her words. Although she looks intimidating, she’s the one that cries at the movies, rereads messages, falls for fictional guys-such a softie. She’s the type that gets along with everyone in your family from your siblings to your parents, they’ll all love her. Consider yourself lucky if you got close to a Hinthuja, but once you’re close, she’ll be loyal to you forever. She’ll do anything to make sure you’re happy and never feeling down but don’t forget to keep her smiling :)
Everyone needs a Hinthuja in their lives.

headphone-hint 

When your sitting alone (at work, on a plane, home or anywhere) listening to your music through headphones and someone comes over and starts to talk to you and you don't remove your headphones because you don't wish to talk to them.
Marie: *At work on her computer* "Music music music."

Rachel: "Hi Marie, how's it going today? So, omg I'm so worried about..."

Marie: *Looking directly at Rachel* "Music music music."

Rachel: "Marie? Hello?"

Marie: "Music music music." *Turns back to computer*

That is a headphone-hint.

Hinton'ed 

To ask someone on a date only once they've known for complete certainty that the potential date will say, "Yes" despite the most obvious clues and signals.
Even when equipped with such knowledge, he or she will hesitate, relying on the potential date's best friend for advice and counselling.
Guy 1: I don't know if I should ask you on a date...like I'm 250% you like me but...stilll...I'm going to need some more reassurance...

Girl 1: Dude, I will say YES, pick you up from your house, take you out to dinner, pay for our meals, maybe get some M&Ms, drive you back to your house, and tuck you in for your 8 p.m bed time.

Guy 1: Yeah...but like...fine...will you go out with me?

Girl 1: YES FOR FUCK SAKE!

Random observer 1: THAT CHICK JUST GOT HINTON'ED!!

take a hint 

the iconic moment in nickelodeon history when tori vega and jade west (also known as victoria justice and elizabeth gillies) completely SNAPPED and humiliated men with tOxiC mAsCuLiNiTy that were harassing them. the girls’ exquisite musical talent permitted them to have the power (wow their influence) to make them leave. thats what’s called POWERFUL FEMALE ROLES!! they sang this masterpiece of a song to make the weird boys stop bothering them.
Tori Vega: *tells guys to stop being creeps
weird guys: :))))
Tori Vega: ttake a hint take a hiiiiiiiinnnnnt.
Only the best band to ever come out of Baltimore, Maryland. Comprised of Joe Jayson(providing sweet melodic vocals), Jeff Hurn(providing kick ass beats on the drums), Tim Foltyn(providing amazing tunes on the guitar) and Geoffrey Blake(providing us with sick sounds from the bass). Not only are they amazing in their music, but they are the nicest guys you will ever get the chance to meet. So, if that chance ever comes to you, don't pass it up! These 4 guys manage to make their music sound completely amazing without sounding like any other band I've heard before. They are truly unique. From the lyrics, to the music, everything is just incredible. They titled their newest album "They Can't Stop Us Now" and clearly, they can't.
LYRICS:
"The things we do in the dark, make the biggest light in my heart."

"The melody lasts when the memory fades, and I hear the sound of your voice every time it plays."

"Falling into reckless abandon, singing every word to the song. You let go of the wheel when you knew that I was still holding on."

"Painted trees in the rearview behind me now, replacing Summer with Fall, and wondering how you are. We're speeding faster, spinning after. Slow it down to remember a moment that's gone. And we'll remember it all."

"Eyes shine with ecstacy, I wait for ours to meet, I will love you more, more than a trophy on a shelf. Speak now, or forever hold your peace, love. But there's no peace on your own."

"Lovers lost, we were tossed in the ocean. Will to survive was the only emotion. Thrashed about, we got lost in the waves, washed ashore you've been missing for days. I lost you once, before. Now I'm hoping what you're searching for is home."

Gosh, there are so many more.
