Get the Primingmug. 
verb - manifesting implicit memories. Thinking about one thing, then unconsciously linking it to what you need to know. Famously used by Ogi Ogas on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, where he almost won $1,000,000.
The first technique I drew upon was priming. The priming of a memory occurs because of the peculiar "connectionist" neural dynamics of our cortex, where memories are distributed across many regions and neurons. If we can recall any fragment of a pattern, our brains tend to automatically fill in the rest. For example, hearing an old Madonna song may launch a cascade of linked memories: your high school prom where it was the theme song, your poorly tailored prom outfit, your forgotten prom date, the stinging embarrassment when you threw up in the limo.

Get the Primingmug. Because "swag" is one of the most overused words, two teens in San Diego (Alex B and Sloan D) decided to change that on 8/28/2011! Its used to describe an action that was impressive.
A: Bro she is WAY out of your league!
B: Really? Because she just gave me her number.
A: WHAT? DUDE THATS PRIME!
B: Really? Because she just gave me her number.
A: WHAT? DUDE THATS PRIME!
