Tony Chestnut

A trick with a football (Or "soccer ball" as certain cultures mistakenly know it).

It involves flicking the ball up with your toe, bouncing it up on your knee, controlling it on your chest and heading it with your nut.

ie. toe, knee, chest, nut

Pass the ball mate, i'm gonna do a tony chestnut.

Chestnut

When a guy pulls out to blow on a girl's chest, then proceeds to dive forward and smear it across her chest in a Slip and Slide motion.

- After I pulled out I gave her a Chestnut.
-Damn dude, did you slide off the bed?

Chestnut Hill College

A VERY small high-school type "college" with an extremely low caliber student body (average gpa 2.0) all on almost full scholarship.. NO student life.. Required: an ettiquette seminar for all students, dating lectures, etc. school run by overpaid nuns.. horrible facilities, HUGE cockroaches, low budget teachers, disgusting dorms, horrible sports teams. All students are similar in personality to the high school "band kid".. very depressing place..

Go back to Chestnut Hill? I'd rather stick needles in my eyes!

Chestnut Hill College

a school that is 99% likely to be smaller than your high school where people that aren't cool enough to make it in a big school go to try to make something of their pathetic lives. And dont be fooled by chc students insisting their school is a good time - they're just too sheltered to know the difference. chc also runs rampant with sluts.. but don't get your hopes up boys, they're all pretty busted.

Being cool at Chestnut Hill College is pretty much like being the smartest person with down syndrome.
