A tasteful euphemism for crop dusting. Farting while walking. Inspired by the famous crop-dusting scene in Alfred Hitchcock's film, "North by Northwest," where a crop-dusting plane tries to kill lead Cary Grant in this mistaken-identity thriller.
My office mate is a pro at silently north by northwesting me throughout the workday. It's so bad that I often have to get up and find fresh air.

To totally zone out and stop paying attention. Named in honor of the two Northwest 188 pilots who spaced out and overshot Minneapolis by a hundred miles. Also known as "taking a northwest nap"
She went totally Northwest 188 on me - I had to clap my hands in front of her face before she started paying attention.

Last night the old train station burned down while the cops parked down the block from it were taking a Northwest Nap.

The worst school in all of Johnson County. It's full of snotty, overprivileged, rich brats with no sense of empathy to others. Plus, they act like they're so great at sports when their teams suck. Plus, their mascot is a symbol of death and evil. and the mascot is also a pathetic bird. They force conformity and give kids detentions for being 5 seconds late to class. They also steal taxpayer's money to support their pathetic E-comm and Aerospace programs (which they frequently brag about).

Wearing fleece pants, jacket and vest at the same time. Extra points for a fleece hat or socks. The NW Tuxedo is similar to the Canadian Tuxedo, and is often seen in the Seattle area.

1. n. Northern territory above Alberta and Saskatchewan, west of Nunavut, east of Yukon Territory. Capital is Yellowknife, Total population is about 30,000. Best known for black flies in the summer, a frozen ice road in the winter, and diamond mines. Mostly Innuit (native northerners) in population. Don't call them eskimos, or they'll encase your balls in ice and feed them to the polar bears. English is a second language up there, as most speak various dialects of Inuktuk. DON'T ask them to throat sing.
I froze my ass off in the winter in the Northwest Territories, then the black flies ate me alive in the summer, which lasted all of 3 weeks.
