Ghost call

Calling someone only to hang up either as soon as they pick up, or right before, for the sole purpose of getting their attention. Reasons for ghost calling may be to get a reply from a text or other message, or for a simple reminder of something.

Please note that ghost calling should only be done to close friends or other people who understand. Otherwise, it's totally creepy.

The ghost call can also be used on boyfriends, girlfriends, exes, or anyone else you feel like "checking up on." Just *67 the number so you can call anonymously. They won't suspect a thing!

(Can be used in both verb and noun form)
1.) "Yesterday, my friend wasn't checking his texts, so I gave him a ghost call to get his attention."

2.) Person A: "My girlfriend isn't answering any of my texts, yet always seems to have her phone on her. Do you think she's cheating on me?"
Person B: "Ghost call her. If she answers, you're probably in trouble. Don't forget to *67 that shit!"

Call of duty ghosts

A game where dogs kill you 2 seconds before they jump on you, and you play as a nearsighted soldier who forgot to where his contacts, hence the reason you can't see 2 feet in front of you. Also, a game where your enemy for some reason looks almost EXACTLY like you so you don't know who's on your team or not.

Call of Duty: Ghosts 

A first-person shooter game developed by Infinity Ward, Raven software, and Neversoft that released on November 5th, 2013. Defined by its fast-paced gameplay and linear but compelling campaign, it is the tenth installment of the highly succesful Call of Duty series. Ever since Call of Duty: MW3, the series has received an increased amount of negative criticism from the gaming audience. The games are overall not very serious or intelligent. They still, however, provide countless hours of adrenaline-filled hilarity and fun (or rage). Call of Duty: Ghosts is allegedly the first "next gen" call of duty game.
bro: Hey, man. I just got Call of Duty: Ghosts! It is pretty fun as long as you don't take it seriously.

"serious" gamer: YOU GOT THAT GAME?!?!?! WTF DUDE?!?! IT SUCKS!!!! YOU'RE NOT A REAL GAMER!!!! CALL OF DUTY IS THE WORST GAME EVER!!!!

bro: and yet it stills outsells the majority of fps games out there......

"serious" gamer: .........

Call of Duty Ghosts

Call of Duty Ghosts is the next installment in the famous Call of Duty Franchise. It's expected to be one of the biggest, if not, the biggest launch title of 2013.

Sadly, even with a new engine, technology, etc. there will most likely be no innovation in this title. Time after time IW has failed to innovate when creating Call of Duty games except for the first two (more or less) so if you're looking for a game that's pretty much going to be like Call of Duty: Ghosts, then pick up Modern Warfare 3!
Cod Nerd : ****orgasmic sounds**** Call of Duty GHOSTS Traailller!! must .. buy it!!! .. ****orgasmic sounds continue****

Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
