Wineshots 

A ritual commonly displayed by inhabitants of Geneva , Switzerland. The ritual consists in highly educated people getting together to celebrate their unpaid internships and/or financial shortcomings that have led to, a partial or full, financial dependency on their parents until what is considered, in most societies, to be a very old age. The ritual consists of people getting together and downing full cups of "Mountain" wine, which is the cheapest drink in the region, at any public park while utilizing disposable cups. However, anyone can engage in the ritual anywhere in the world as long as these people fulfill the following 5 conditions. First, they have to be at least 25 in age and, at least partially, financially dependent on parents. Second they have to be enrolled in, or have completed, a master's degree or above. Third, they have to do so with any type of wine which the bottle costs less than $3, converted to the respective currency of course. Fourth, they have to do so at any park or public event which one does not have to pay to attend. Finally, they have to down the full cup of wine utilizing any type of disposable container.

Crossed wires 

"Crossed wires" can describe either of these situations:

1. when people who are supposedly having a conversation with each other are actually talking about completely different things

2. when a dialogue gets out of sync because people are not listening to each other - in a written dialogue this is usually because someone has posted twice before reading a reply.

The expression derives from ye olden days of analogue telephones. Sometimes when speaking on the phone in the 60s or 70s it was possible to hear another conversation on the same line. You might also pick up the phone and find that instead of a dial tone you could hear a conversation. This situation was called "crossed wires".
Example 1:
Emma: I can't wait for the weekend
Joe: Freedom at last! Next year I'm going travelling
Emma: We're throwing a party for our graduation
Joe: I'm gonna hitchhike around Europe
Emma: Everyone is invited. Hope they all come.
Joe: London Paris and Rome here I come!
Emma: You are coming aren't you?
Joe: Wanna come with me?
Emma: Crossed wires!

Example 2:
Jack: I'm sick and tired of arguing
Anna: sorry I didn't mean to upset you. I forgot that you don't like talking about politics
Jack: and I get the feeling you're trying to upset me!
Jack: sorry crossed wires

doorwall 

A door wall is a sliding-glass door or patio door. The term is yet another example of banal Michigan vernacular, where in the residents latch on to company names, trademark names, marketing terms and product names from local companies. The terms become embedded in the local vocabulary and eventually become accepted as actual valid words and phrases. In this case the term comes from Wallside Windows in Taylor, MI (a large window manufacturer), where 'door wall' is their created word for sliding-glass door.
"Bob! John's gonna bring over them doorwalls from Wallsides on Tuesdee afternoon 'round two-thirty. Get 'er done!"
