Refresher

The act of freshening one's friend after a long, drug-fuelled evening by arranging their face (eyes closed) just over a basin, while another cups their hands under a running tap (faucet) before thrusting - with great speed and accuracy - the handful of cold water onto the face and up the nasal cavity of the waiting friend. A 'slap' should be heard if successful.

Inductees to the ritual may fail to close their eyelids tight enough, so a pained "AARGHHH!!!" may be emitted as the water is forced under one or both lashes. This should be laughed at with vigour.
Almost comatose friend #1: I'm feeling like I've been run over by a train

ACF #2: The only thing that can save you now is a refresher

ACF #3: I'll hold your hair back

Regressive Right

Regressive Right is is composed of the more negative aspects of far right political opinions, specifically in such a manner that frowns upon critical thinking in favor of dogmatic thinking. Train of thought most often associated with Neocons. Opposite on the political spectrum from the Regressive Left.

Such examples include sexism against women by virtue of their gender, denouncement of racism while simultaneously denouncing people of color by virtue of their skin color, denouncement of any economic philosophy alien to Capitalism, Christian apologetics, Islamophobia, American Exceptionalism, etc.
Some on the Regressive Right completely ignore the entire Bill of Rights except for the 2nd amendment, disregarding the benefits of secularism under the pretense that America is a Christian nation.
