formatting nazi 

A person who will OCD over a the tiniest of formatting mistakes. Usually a teacher that mark you down or reject a paper entirely because a title is *just* a little off, regardless of how profound or revolutionary your work is.
I figured out string theory and described it in lab report in my high school physics class, but because my teacher was a formatting nazi, he gave me a F because my page number was 1 space too low.

formatting rape 

When a messaging program or phone changes your message by replacing certain symbols with emoticons you didn't know about or uses them to start stylized text.
"You still have that formula from the lecture?"
"yeah man its 4x + 2v(smiley face) = 10"
"???"
"shit man 2v SQUARED, formatting rape."

Forgetting the Alamo 

a crime in the State of Texas that is punishable by branding of the Alamo into the ass of the condemned (lest he forget the Alamo again).
Judge, I will actually suck your dick if you let me off with probation for forgetting the Alamo. It’ll never happen again!

I know I'm forgetting something 

A gut feeling you get when you're about to leave to go somewhere. You know you're forgetting something essential to your trip/destination but can't immediately place your finger on it.

The feeling is strange and based mostly on intuition, similar to deja vu. If you get this feeling, you may be tempted to dismiss it as a delusion, but after a short period of time something will trigger your memory and you will remember what it is you forgot. To avoid any inconveniences, the best thing to do when you get this feeling is to run through a mental or physical checklist on what you have packed and what you haven't.

This notion made an appearance in the 1990 family movie, Home Alone, when the main character, Kevin, is forgotten at home by his parents on their Christmas vacation to France.
Joe: "You ready for this trip to Amsterdam?"
Brett: "Hell yes, the only problem is that I know I'm forgetting something, but I can't think of what it is."
Joe: "Oh, don't worry about it... you probably just forgot to feed the dog."
(3 hours later, when checking in at the airport)
Brett: "Shit! I forgot my passport!"

Fratting 

As much a state of mind as an action: unambiguously displaying confidence, intelligence, wealth, style and class while maintaining a positive, lackadaisical, attitude. One who truly fratts hard never forgets the value of having a good time or the responsibilities to which he is obligated.
Fratting includes but is not limited to, golfing, drinking, deep sea fishing, boating, sitting in the sun while at a pool or beach and finally denouncing guidos by any and every means necessary.

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
Similar to TLDR
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!
