abandon-ship

a horribly wrong relationship, in which one of the people involved should get out very soon

"I sat by Stacy in art class today. Did you see her new bf? He's a big dude brah, who listens to terrible music. He said he didn't like arcade fire, in his ironic gangsta talk."

"That's not a relationship, that's an abandon-ship."

Rocket Ship Toms

A term used by seasoned drummers to note and harshly discourage an inefficient tom set up used by a new drummer. Can often be seen as two toms placed in ridiculous amounts of angle, the bottom facing out and the top facing in.

Basically, if you suck technically at setting up your drums it shows. Also your technique is no good and you're going to damage your wrists/hands...for life.

New Drummer: Look at my new drumset isn't it cool. I rock.

Drummer: How long you been playing dude?

New Drummer: Two weeks, isn't my set up wicked sweet?

Drummer: No...1. Good stuff, taking up a cool instrument. 2. you suck, learn more before you boast. And 3. You got some major Rocket Ship Toms action going on here...your wrists are going to die.

New Drummer:...oh.

slave ship

Comparison to be used when describing a tightly packed area, or mode of transport. Comes from when the slave trade was in full swing, and P&O ferries dropped their standards to optimise profit margins.

Harry: "Joshua! This train is bloody packed! It's worse than a bleeding slave ship!"
Josh: "Yea, i know. Smell's 'n' all!"
