Verticalism

Verticalism is any form of discrimination or prejudice against shorter people in height, usually in the recreational environment of basketball. Verticalism can take the form of ideas and assumptions, stereotypes, attitudes and practices, physical barriers in the environment, or larger scale oppression. It is oftentimes unintentional and most people are completely unaware of the impact of their words or actions.

Hey Harsha, wasn't Venkatesh being hurtfully verticalist against Aryan the other day? He would continuously and intentionally dunk on him in order to emphasize his height privilege. He even went as far as to call out Aryan's short stature. Do you think he's aware of his verticalism? I hope Aryan's doing okay.

Vertical Tuck

The vertical tuck is employed when a male, in possession of a boner, reorganizes his junk such that it is "tucked" up under his waistband in a vertical manner (sometimes causing the boner to stick out of the male's pants). The vertical tuck ensures that boners are undetected by onlookers. It is especially useful when, while possessing a boner, the male needs to perform non-sexual tasks, like doing a math problem at the blackboard.

Dude: Man, after looking looking at that chick's thong in front of me in class I had a real hard-on. I was horrified when Mr. Depetrio called on me to derive the quadratic formula on the board.
Dude 2: What'd you do?
Dude: I shoved my dick up under my waistband so no one would see.
Dude 2: Ah, saved by the vertical tuck.
