Fictional game played by Londoners of a certain background, intended to intimidate an outsider to their social clique. The aim to to pretend you are playing to a set of complex rules which are never explained.
Players take turns to name an underground station, the "winner" is the first to "reach" Morninton Crescent, at which point they enthusiastically shout the name of this station. If the outsider attempts to join in, they shout him down, giving a look of abject scorn.
It can be played on internet message boards, derailing a serious thread by posting a comment with the name of an underground station in bold. Then consecutive users will start posting otherwise irrelevant comments with more station names bolded, until someone simply posts in bold capitals "MORNINGTON CRESCENT"!!!!!

Get the mornington crescentmug. Nine months ago I planted my schlong in Rachel's fertile crescent, and now with child support I'll be paying for it over the next 18 years.

Get the fertile crescentmug. A person (male) who belongs on Crescent Street in Montreal. Though exact defining characteristics are elusive, one is always sure when one meets a Crescent Guy.
Wears too much cologne, smells better than most of his female friends and grooms too much. Looks like every other douchebag on Crescent Street.

I asked for a pic and he sent me the most blatantly posed, looking-off-into-the-distance picture I've seen in a decade. What a fucking Crescent Guy.

Get the Crescent Freshmug. The "Crescent City Cloth" is the official gameday towel for New Orleans Saints fans. It was given that name by the fan club Big Easy Mafia. It is the equivalent to the Steelers "Terrible Towel" only better.
