Hook em Horns 

A catchphrase and hand sign associated with the University of Texas, primarily with sporting events. The index and pinky finger are extended, pointing upward. The thumb is folded in front of the other two fingers. Sometimes the whole hand is moved in a forward and back movement.

Often, at sporting events, the team opposing the University of Texas will use the hand signal upside down to boo.
When Bevo, the mascot of the University of Texas, is paraded by, adoring fans gave him the Hook em Horns.

hook'em horns

University of Texas team sport where two players lock in with their erect penises and reverse thrust their pelvises until one or the other loses balance.
The crowd was silent as these two great champions met for one last match to decide it all. With their penises intertwined like mighty anacondas in love, both men had begun the final preparations before they got down to some serious hook'em horns business.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
