allnighter crash

The moment an allnighter high disappears, leaving you feeling like a hollow shell of a man (or woman), filled with regrets. Can happen instantaneously; one minute your waxing philosophical about the oeuvre of David Cronenberg, the next minute you're lying on the ground sobbing. Usually followed by an impenetrable midday nap.
Greg was doing fine until his allnighter crash kicked in. Now we have to hide the good knives...

allnighter hangover 

An allnighter high inevitably leads to an allnighter crash. An allnighter crash usually leads to a nap. This nap leads to an allnighter hangover.

Like a regular hangover, an allnighter hangover is characterized by a splitting headache, sensitivity to light, and general overall grumpiness. Unlike a regular hangover, however, an allnighter hangover, in the worst case scenarios, can last for weeks. You take an allnighter, sleep it off in the early evening, then wake up with an allnighter hangover at around 10pm, angry but fully rested. This messes with your chronological clock, makes you take another allnighter, and the cycle never ends.

Your life is now just one long, cyclical pile of shit, and all that to pass one midterm.

Was it worth it? WAS IT?
I shouldn't have stayed up all night three weeks ago... my allnighter hangover has been killing me ever since.

allnighter high 

That period between about 6am and noon when, after staying up all night, you find yourself both strangely energized and happy, as if drunk and high at the same time. This will be followed swiftly and suddenly with an allnighter crash, which in turn becomes an allnighter hangover... but for the time being, you've achieved a state of serenity that you will seldom feel again... at least until your next term paper.
I ran on my allnighter high all the way through my first three classes. Then the crash hit, and I wanted to die.

College kid 1: Hey, did you finish that assignment due in this afternoon?

College kid 2: (looking bedraggled and ill) Yeah *yawn* pulled an allnighter last night and managed to get something down. Probably going to fail anyway.

allnighter

Staying up all night doing meaningless tasks that you would'nt normally do during the day.

Or if said in a sense of "kyling", then you probably missed the show Kyle XY, and are forced to stay up late to watch the repeat, in which then you would stay up after it is already over, and still do meaningless tasks anyways, regardless if it is a school night or not.
Also See: kyling
Person A: Dude, I pulled an allnighter last night, cuz I missed Kyle XY, and I saw it at midnight, so I could'nt sleep after that.

Person B: Me too, we were actually on the phone last night, talking about Jlirmmy...

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.

Frothability 

The measure of an emotional and over zealous consumer in an upwardly charging market, also known as a bull market. It's characterized by rising asset prices, increased investor confidence, and favorable growth in the markets, bro.

pod person 

A person pretending to be something they aren't, or an impostor. This is inferred because of the old alien movies where alien pods appear on earth and the "pod people" dispose of the humans and slowly reproduce the bodies, pretending to be humans.
The pod person was pretending to be my father, but I knew that he was an alien when he acted differently than my father ever would have.
