Morath

the moment after you have met someone in a particular setting just by chance, whether sitting next to each other in class or on the bus, and somehow you begin talking and the conversation has been strong with interest on both sides with the topics straightforward and trivial that is like a line of gunpowder that ignites into the next subject, sparking yours and this stranger's enthusiasm. Suddenly the discussion stops, both participants feeling the halt in conversation, the easy flow dissipating in an instant and you are left in silence that vibrates in your head and surrounds the both of you, urging to either probe deeper in this stranger's life to overcome this sensation of the mind and atmosphere, to connect with them a little longer or depart on that note, never feeling the satisfaction of closure in the conversation even with sincere abbreviated farewells when parting ways.

While chatting with the girl from chemistry before the class starts, morath settles in the air and you turn away to sit in silence and wait for class to begin

Once a Marathon Match

Based on the 11 hour 5 min match at Wimbledon featuring Nicholas Mahut (FRA) and John Isner (USA) where they played 138 games in the fifth set alone and where most records were completely shattered.
It refers to anything an event or oddity that will almost positively never happen again.

Biman Half Marathon

When someone exploits and harasses professional and amateur athletes as a marketing stunt.

The way they are treating the runners, I'd say they really pulling another biman half marathon stunt.

Masturbation Marathon

An exceptionally long episode of masturbation fits. These episodes are usually brought on by sexual deprivation and bordom; however, and I'm not making this up, they have been used a means of fundraising for sexual related causes such as safe sex. A masturbation marathon is a strenuous event that requires disciplined training and preparation. There are several related subcatagories such as time, ejaculation distance, and most orgasms for both male and female competitors (I'm totally serious - google it).

Hillary's return brought an end to Bill's 72 hour masturbation marathon.

marathoning

Watching an entire season of a TV series in a short period of time, especially if you are watching it in one sitting.

Hey, I can't come out tonight. I just got the last season of Lost on DVD, and I'm marathoning it right now. I can't put it down.
