hope fumes

Used to describe someone who is barely hanging on with little left in their personal gas tank. Their slightest bit of hope, oftentimes irrational, is the only thing still driving them. All the person needs to do is stop and fill up their tank but they keep pushing it through the next exit and the next exit until they eventually run out of gas on the desolate highway.

Person A : "Todd hasn't made a sale in 2 years and he works on a commission only basis. He thinks his next deal is close though and will be a huge payday."

Person B: "Yeah, he's running on hope fumes."

love fumes

When you gas on your significant other and force them to smell it.

I trapped my fart under the blanket so you can bask in my love fumes.

room fume

Cheap purfume that you use to cover up the smell of smoke in your room.

"Why did you spray that shit, dude?"
"No worries, man, it's my room fume."

Ball Fumes

1. Where-in a man masturbates so much in a short period of time, that he receives pain instead of an orgasm. 2. Like an automobile gas tank, he no longer has any liquid in the tank.

I was so longly once that I masturbated 10 times in a single night. My Ball Fumes hurt like a mother F***er!
