That's my name, don't wear it out

A phrase uttered in order to be a smart ass when someone attempts to get your attention using your name:
"Hey, your name" or just "your name"

To "wear it out" refers to the act of "wearing out" shoes and other clothing. To use something repeatedly until it loses its durability, polish and novelty.

The phrase was popularized originally by boomers in the 50s. See: boomer musical "Grease," for unironic usage.

It resurfaced as a campy, ironic echo of its former glory after famous/infamous child entertainer Pee Wee Herman used it in his show Pee Wee's Playhouse. Decades later this caused millennials to say this phrase very rarely, but with great smugness and underserved pride.

Jim: Hey Peter ca....
Peter (interrupting): That's my name, don't wear it out !!

> Peter suddenly appears overtly proud of himself and bears a somewhat condescending grin on his stupid face

> You would respond with a scathing comeback or possibly violent beatings, but you are too confused with Peter repeating a strange laugh and looking at you like you should get the joke

naked run

The standard consequence of losing a beirut/beer pong game very badly. The losing team is required to run naked around the outside of the building in which the game is being played. Depending on house rules, a naked run rule may be enforced either when a team loses before making it to their first re-rack (6 cups left) or when a team does not sink a single cup in an entire game. This rule is often not enforced in a game where all players are male because that would be considered "too gay."

Steve: "How'd you guys do in the Sigma Chi beirut tournament?"
John: "Not too great. We lost to 'Wet Balls' in the semifinals."
Steve: "Man, in every tournament there's a team called 'Wet Balls.' So unoriginal."
John: "Word to your mother. But at least we got to see Vicky and Sarah lose a game by 9 cups and do a naked run around the building."
Steve: "Hell yeah! Vicky is pretty hot. I would have loved to see those things bounce around, if you know what I mean."
John: "Yeah it was pretty awesome. Skeet skeet!"

name checked

When someone more famous than you mentions your name or the name of your company/product/etc in public. Kind of the opposite of name dropping.

Ozzy name checked my shop on his reality show for that wrist flame tat I gave him.

Naked Man

An age-old activity that occurs when a male and female are together in a room. At a point when the female leaves the room, the male strips down to total nudity and strikes a pose on the nearest couch.

Rich: "Hey did you hear Kyle pulled off the "Naked Man" last night on his date with that girl from the projects? That's a classic move!!!"

Eric: Yeah, it's just ashame she threw him out into the projects completely naked and the police are filing indecent assault charges against him."
