A game in which two players receive 26 cards and keeps them in their hand, face down, in a stack. The players then take the top four and lay them down, one by one, face up in front of them, near the other person's cards. Each player then tries to quickly place cards from their stack on top of pairs in the eight cards. If no pairs can be found, each player takes the four cards they laid down, in addition to any cards laid on top of them, and place them on the bottom of their deck. It is then repeated until one player runs out of cards, slaps the table, and declares "Speed!"
"Dude! I so won that game of California Speed!"
"Dude! You, like, TOTALLY didn't say 'speed' when you ran out 20 pairs ago!"
The chill, west-coast version of a regular speedball (cocaine & heroin).
"It must have been hella work to apply to grad school while working in a research lab!"
"Bruh I was such a fat stoner hahahah, I perfected the california speedball. Like I'd just get high af and caffeinated at Philz and just focus on that for like 5 hours after work every day."
"Lol so that's how you read all those physics papers?"
"It was so dope haha they started giving me free coffee."
Kratom and Red Bull. Recovering hardcore drug addicts do this since they can't do meth and heroin anymore and this is a sustainable habit. It will never compare to the mind blowing euphoria and rush of the real thing but what are they supposed to do, be sober?
"Work sucks, but thanks to california speedballs, I've been able to work 60 hour weeks no problem! *cries*"
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
Short-hand for the word floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
