Tennessee Boat Launch 

When you get hammered at a party and take a shit in the hosts fish tank
I had a Tennessee Boat Launch at a party last night

tenpetals 

A ship, (from Doctor who) That is combined with the character 'Rose Tyler' and the 'Tenth Doctor' played by Billie Piper and David Tennant. The ship can also be refered to as 'roseten' or 'tenrose' and sometimes 'allonswolf' but 'tenpetals' seems to be one of the favorites.

The 'ten' comes from the tenth doctor, and the 'petals' comes from the suggestion that 'Rose' is the name of a flower.
If you were on fan fiction.net or something, and you wanted to read about the Tenth Doctor and Rose's relationship together, you might search 'Tenpetals'
