Make Moves 

Verb. Performing any act that results in an improvement in one's present situation or possibly in future situations. The improvement is not necessarily exclusive to the individual "making moves" as it may also improve the situation of other party members. The term often refers specifically to making any sort of progress sexually with a person or persons of romantic interest. This phrase, while commonly believed to have been coined by Tag Body Spray -- as represented by Rob Dyrdek, Carmello Anthony and Ludacris -- was actually originated by a University of Florida student by the name of Joshua Poteat (circa 2006).
"Are you guys ready to go to the pub?"
"Let's make moves."

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.
