trainspotting

trainspotting:

v: The act of staring over a DJ's shoulder to see what records he's spinning..

Originated from the British phenomenon of train geeks waiting on train platforms, notebooks in hand, recording the types and numbers of trains coming into the station.

Also the name of a famous book by Irvine Welsh in 1993, later made into a much more famous movie in 1996 by the same name. The word at the time referred to dance music geek culture, but was about the wasting of Scottish heroin addicts.
"I went to the club last night to hit on this bad-ass DJ chick, but the records she brought were amazing, so I just sat near her at the decks trainspotting them all night!"

Aluminium train

Either the act or the sensation of intravenous cocaine use, due to the metallic rushing sound you hear when the drug crosses the blood-brain barrier. The ultimate rush accompanied by the ultimate tinnitus.

Nutley Train

A metaphor for a train which stops for no one, nothing and nowhere. In it's 62 years service, it has instituted the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the long awaited reunification of East and West Germany; helped America elect it's first African American president in the form of Barack Obama, and is well on it's way to the destruction of demin jackets, leading to eventual worldwide justice. After this project, due to be finished in 2027, she will be frozen in space in a satellite orbiting the Earth, as so to be ready incase there is another worldwide crisis (the idea is based on Dr Evil in the Austin Powers movie, but not evil).
