Downgating 

To ignore any superficial rules and procedures and achieve a goal, usually in an unorthodox manner.

Refers to Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game," when Ender wins the "impossible mission" by passing through the goal door without freezing all of the enemy soldiers.
Aw man, I had set so many parental controls on the TV so Billy couldn't watch R rated DVDs, but he was downgating me and bought the novelization.

drive-by donating 

Giving cash to homeless people at the roadside. Best to give bills/coins while traffic is stopped, but more challenging if done on the move. Looks pretty smooth and cool to other drivers if done correctly; usually at slow speed and not holding up traffic. The recipient is demonstrably thankful.
After the light changed, the motorist in front if me was drive-by donating. Handed off a few bills to a homeless person on the median while going about 15 MPH.

Downgrading relationships 

Leaving or otherwise cheating on your girl/guy/bootycall with a much less attractive/worthy person.

Having a mature loving person always there for you and dissing them for a young naive useless girl without a clue.

Leaving a guy with a job and his own place for a loser in jail or otherwise on probation living with his younger brother since his mother won't even take him in!
Did you see that fat nasty ass whore Danny got with and left his sexy baby mama for?! That dumbass is retarded!

Talk about downgrading relationships, that bitch is 3 times bigger then her!

Dam she went from house in the burbs, to a couch in the basement in no time!

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
