Shell Game 

Tactics used to deliberately confuse someone so that their previous agreements can be broken. (Made popular by street perfomers, where there are 3 shells or cups in a row. One shell or cup has a ball placed underneath. The performer moves all the shells around quickly and then stops. The subject is asked to guess where the ball is...usually incorrect.)
Mary said she had a great girl she wanted me to meet this weekend. On Thursday, I asked Mary "so Mary, what's this girll's name i'm meeting this weekend?" Mary replies "oh, i think it's Jenny or maybe it's Jason..i'll let you know. On Friday you ask "so Mary, is her name Jenny or Jason?" Mary replies "do I know you?" You call your friend and say Mary just played the Shell Game.

new game smell 

when you purchase a new game and rip open the plastic open the case and take a whiff of that lovely new game smell! Possibly a human reaction like dogs sniffing stinky holes. The orgin of this action is unknown but is a closet action of many gamers. Even Ice-T does it. Look for gears of war 3 unboxing ice t on youtube!
ME: I cant wait for gears of war 3 to hit the streets!

YOU: Its already out you noob!

ME: Im going to pick it up and enjoy the new game smell!

YOU: new game smell?
