Fat man relay

An event in high school men's track-and-field that normally takes place before the actual 4x400 relay. Each relay sqaud requires shot putters from that team to run one leg of the relay without dropping the baton (either one lap on an indoor track or 100 meters on an outdoor track). Very entertaining and comical. The winner takes home a pizza.
Dude, our shot putters just won the fat man relay...wish I could have some of their pizza...

Reply Allcoholism

Reply Allcoholism is a mental disorder that makes it difficult to refrain oneself from hitting Reply-all in an email thread causing pain and suffering to others receiving the emails.

Reply Allcoholics tend to share useless commentary that does not pertain to everyone on an email list which causes them to be hated by most of their friends and family.

There are no cures for Reply Allcoholism, but there are preventative measures one could take.
Jack: Sam is so annoying! Why can't he stop hitting reply all on our group emails and only email to the person that he's responding to?!

Jill: Don't be insensitive, he suffers from Reply Allcoholism.

the Replacements

A seminal alternative rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; one of the driving forces behind the 1980's alternative rock scene who helped pave the way for grunge bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

Fronted by Paul Westerberg, the band formed in 1979 and broke up in 1991. The original members were Paul Westerberg (vocals/guitar), Bob Stinson (guitar), Tommy Stinson (bass) and Chris Mars (drum). In 1985, after the release of their fourth album, "Tim" (widely considered their best album), Bob Stinson was kicked out of the band and replaced by Minneapolis guitarist Slim Dunlap.

They were also referred to jokingly as "the 'Mats", from "the Placemats", which was what a detractor joked their name was.
Joe: "The Replacements are the best band EVER!"

Lucas: "Hahaha, isn't that a movie?"

Joe: *Slaps Lucas*

Lucas: "Ow! What was that for?"

Joe: "You're an asshole. And that movie sucks ass!"
