catfishin'
Purporting to be someone or something you are not on the Internet in order to gain friends, attention, partners, pity, sympathy or money. Named after the faux-documentary "Catfish", Catfishers have been known to post fake pictures of themselves (including but not limited to catalog images), claim to have a dying fiance or mother, or create an entirely fictional version of themselves.
Uh oh, did you see that perfectly posed photo of Donna she posted? That girl is so catfishin'.
Oh man, I heard Northlad's girlfriend is really sick. I sure hope he isn't catfishin' us.

catbusing
The act of hotboxing a car with marijuana. This sublime effect is achieved by sealing all the doors and windows and smoking copiously, preferably while driving around aimlessly (so as to avoid detection). Do not, under any circumstances, pick up little girls while you are stoned, no matter how much you are tempted to. This is in reference to the film "My Neighbor Totoro," in which the catbus is a whimsical vehicle used by the main characters.
"We totally catbused Isaac's car last night."
"His upholstry stinks of weed ever since our last round of catbusing."
"Hey man, I just bought an eighth and my roommate gave me his car keys. You wanna catbus?"
"Hey hey hey, ride the catbus every day." (this last one is an apocryphal quote from Dr. Dre)
