Kerri Struggling

When you injure your ankle (or other body part) while dancing or in some vigorous activity but you successfully soldier on through it.

Named after the Olympic Gold Medal winning Gymnast, Kerri Strug, who sprained her ankle and damaged her tendon during her first vault in the all around competition. She was told she needed at least a 9.6 on her next vault for the American team to win the gold. She did the vault, landed on both legs momentarily, hopped on one leg to bow to the judges and then fell over in excruciating pain and received a 9.712, cinching the gold for the her American team.
While dancing out at the club, B sprains his ankle and falls in pain.

A: Man, are you all right?
B: Aahhh! I think I sprained my ankle!
A: You want a doctor? Should I take you home?
B: Hells NO, this is my song, get me a shot, I'm Kerri Struggling my way through this!

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.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand

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.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
