publish and perish 

That awkward process of simultaneously publishing **amazing** scientific articles and realizing you still have literally zero chance at any career...ever. It is widely considered the realistic variant of the commonly known "publish or perish".
Kevin: I just published another paper in a highly reputable journal!!
Aleks: Oh...that's nice. So here is the $23.95 for the pizza...
Kevin: What about my tip!?
Aleks: Uhhh, uhhh....see you next week! **slams door**
Kevin: Gawd dammit!! I need a new job... #gradstudentproblems #pizzadeliveryproblems
--- Three hours later ---
Aleks: Poor, poor Kevin. Publish and perish, indeed...

Publish Cheating 

Publish Cheating is the act of adding a word to the Urban Dictionary and then editing the Urban Dictionary until you see the word you submitted and publish it, however, publish cheating does not always guarantee the word you submitted will be published. I have currently editted over 900 words in the hopes of getting my definitions published, and it has worked for most of them.
I sincerly doubt my definition of batterball would have been published had I not been publish cheating at the time.

"Hey, do you know that girl Sally?"

"Yeah, she's kind of annoying. All she ever talks about it ballet."

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
