Dirty Habeeb

Similiar to a "Dirty Sanchez" this act is defined as: performing anal sex with a partner and then turning them around and touching the end of the penis to the forehead thereby leaving a small spot of shit on the forehead. This spot is similiar to that found in the Hindu religion.

If you give her a Dirty Habeeb DON'T kiss her on the forehead!!

Born Haber Cycle

The Born Haber Cycle is a method of visualising Hess' law and is often used to find lattice enthalpy, which cannot be determined empirically. Lattice enthalpy measures the energy needed to break apart ionic bonds in a lattice structure. In a Born Haber Cycle, lattice enthalpy can be found by combining the enthalpies of atomisation, ionisation (usually endothermic) and electron affinity (exothermic).

Also something that strikes fear into the hearts of IB chemistry students.

Draw the Born Haber Cycle of MgCl2 to find its lattice enthalpy. (6 marks)

habeas grabus

A term (coined by Tunch Ilken, Craig Wolfley, and possibly even Myron Cope) referring to the penalty of 'holding' in football. Its use often correlates to the severity of the penalty. For example, 'habeas grabus' would be used in situations where the penalty is less detrimental to the Steelers, like any game in which the Steelers are playing the Browns. No matter how many holding penalties get called against the Steelers, Cleaveland is not going to win. This is true for almost any other team in the NFL who plays the Browns. However, the holding penalty called against Justin Hartwig in Superbowl XLIII that resulted in a safety and almost cost the Steelers a 6th superbowl title would probably be met with a reaction such as "Fuck!" or "If the ref had one more eye, he'd be a cyclops!" or even "I'm so shit-faced, I don't even know who's playing right now".

Tunch- "The Steelers have comitted a lot of penalties in the red zone today."

Wolf- "Yeah, Willie Colon commited habeas grabus so Tomlin had to settle for a field goal."
