Sculpting Paste 

Also known as "Flexible Paste", it is something you put in your hair to get that lift a.k.a. them waves. Mainly used by Justin Bieber wannabees.

It is also part of one's daily beauty routine: Nails. Makeup. Sculpting paste. In that order.

*Chief walks in room*

Chief: "Ayo you all natural today?!"
Me: "Nah G I got my sculpting paste on."
Chief: "Ayyyyyyy, do the hair flip!"
Me: *does hair flip*
Me and Chief: "Ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!"

scalping 

Purchasing large quantities of goods (usually tickets) early with the sole intention of re-selling them at a higher price at a later date (closer to the event).

sound sculpting 

The process of taking a single pure sound, audio sample, or number of layered sounds and creatively using a variety of analog and/or digital effects to manipulate the original sound into a completely different one.

One of the most common sound sculpting instruments are synthesizers.

The simple act of taking a drum recording, running it through a low or high pass filter, a pitch and time stretcher, and then some distortion, could also be known as sound sculpting.

Some people into circuit bending will sample the sounds they record, and within a few hours of tweaking with effects, will /sound sculpt/ some lively ambient drones that are usually lowered in amplitude and placed behind recorded tracks to fill in some of the emptiness.

Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, and Crowesque are some good examples of bands who use sound sculpting to take common sounds heard around us each day and manipulate them into ambient textures, percussion sounds, or even lead synth noise.

molding and sculpting

To convince yourself that an ugly woman is attractive as a means to a sexual end. Much like "beer goggles", this usually happens while drunk.

Guy 1: Holy crap, why is Jimmy buying drinks for that Frankenstein-looking chick?
Guy 2: He's busy molding and sculpting over there.

scalping 

Reselling tickets for a profit. When done on an individual level, this is often considered illegal, but when it's a company catering to rich people, somehow that makes it o.k. for them to buy up all the tickets and then scalp them. Here is how a ticket company delicately explains what they do:
"The box office is the original source for tickets. Tickets out of the box office are sold at “face value”. If available, tickets out of the box office are generally less expensive, but the seat selection may be severely limited. If you are unable to obtain the tickets you want through the box office, and you are willing to pay above the face value for tickets, we can help you get the seats you are looking for.
Many people use our services because the official box office no longer has the type of seats they want.
It is important for the customer to understand that we are an independent agency that buys and resells event tickets on the secondary market. We apply a service charge to each ticket that we sell, so the price printed on the ticket will generally not be our selling price. Since our tickets are sold on the secondary market, our prices are determined by the "market value", which is based on supply and demand. The “market value” can be substantially higher than the “face value” of the ticket. Please remember that in most cases we have to pay quite a bit over the "face value" for the tickets that we offer for sale."

That damn ticket broker bought up all the tickets and now they're scalping them at triple face value, but my homie got his ass busted just because he had an extra ticket and tried to recoup what he paid for it. Why is it that when the broker does it, it's legal? That's some shit.

shift scalping 

To take a prime work shift and then sell it to another worker, thus earning income without having to work.

Jon-Mark: I picked up 7-10 phones shift everyday for the entire week, and then sold them to Zeina for $3 an hour. I made money without showing up to work by shift scalping!
