Five gallery special 

When an incarcerated person exposes himself
"Ay Joe, did you just see that?" "Naw, what happened?" "Buddy just exposed himself to that female!" "Damn, he hit her with the five gallery special!"

Hark upon the Gale 

A line from the William and Mary alma mater song. The full verse goes:

"William and Mary, loved of old,
Hark upon the gale!
Hear the thunder of our chorus,
Alma mater hail!"

The college and the students use this phrase a lot, both seriously and in jokes. It is a well-known phrase to anyone at the college.
A few freshmen in the dining hall, loudly: "William and Mary, loved of old..."
Camille: Some freshmen are singing the Alma Mater agian.
Joey: Let's join them!
Camille: Are you serious?
Literally everyone in the dining hall: HARK UPON THE GALE! HEAR THE THUNDER OF OUR CHORUS...

Probably one of the best people you will ever meet. His charisma and charm works wonders on everyone he talks to. When he smiles, it can give you an almost indescribable feeling like your running among the clouds, filled with a joy like no other. His personality is exceptional and he's hard to get to know at first, but once you do, make sure you keep him as a friend forever. He's irreplaceable. And he's normally really cute.
Guy 1: I was talking to Galen the other day and he smiled at me. I felt my heart skip a beat.
Girl 1: You talk about him so much lololol

Houston Galleria 

Opened in 1970, Houston's Galleria is the original, in the sense that it was the first mall in the U.S. to fuse a mall with hotels and office towers, not to mention an ice skating rink bigger than Rockefeller Center. The mixed-use concept has been used in other malls since then, but this was the first, and therefore important in the evolution of malls. Modeled after the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele in Milan, Italy. Currently about 375 stores and 50 restaurants.
the Galleria (with a small t) owns all others, except the original in Milan.
