East Hastings

The worst neighborhood in Vancouver unquestionably. Starts from about Clark St. until Main St (where it turns into West Hastings, a decent business area), the northern border of Chinatown and just south of the port. An uncomfortable place to be anytime where it's unusual to not see someone doing hard drugs on the sidewalk or stumbling around in cloth that doesn't qualify as clothes.
A main route from the tri-city suburbs and nothern Burnaby into the downtown core.

Let's go give out blankets on East Hastings.

Hastings Canter

The act of walking (or trying to run) like a brain-dead retard. Often likened to the sight of an elderly man, whom after having just suffered a serious stroke, attempting a sprint down a steep enbankment with a pole in his rectum.

Poor fellah, he is doing the Hastings Canter. He must need some attention. Either that, or he is retarded.

reed-hasting

prematurely abandoning an established industry or practice, on the belief that something that is new or cutting-edge will be successful and profitable regardless of its quality or readiness.

Eponym referring to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings, who spun off the DVDs-by-mail service that had defined his company's success, re-branded it poorly, and retained the Netflix name for online streaming in the belief that it alone was the future of the industry.

It's important that we promote green energy, but we need to stop reed-hasting, or we'll just end up throwing more money at failing companies like Solyndra.
