gattoring 

Sort of a dance in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It is when a person, man or woman, goes on the dance floor, usually lays down but not always. Once in "position", they go freaking nuts and move around a lot, often flailing legs and arms in all directions. It often requires being very drunk to do it well.

One of my fraternity brothers was the absolute best at "gattoring”. He went total bonkers!

social gathering

A gathering of more than 5 people that involves hallucinogenic products and inebriating liquids. Commonly used as a better way of saying "I got wasted." There are instances however when this term can be used quite harmlessly as a way of saying "we hung out" especially if said when the person in question is finished college already.

My friend Sam told me that he went to a social gathering as he looked at me with a hazed expression.

Magic: The Gathering 

Magic: Gathering is a trading card game first put onto stores shelves in 1993. It's foundational mechanics went on to inspire many other games, Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh currently being the most famous. It also invented the prospect of tournaments for trading card games, which did not exist at the time.

Magic is a worldwide phenomenon, and has developed it's own list of dozens of slang words. Magic itself is typically known as Magic: The Gathering, MTG, or just Magic for players who play it more exclusively than other games for which the word “magic” could easily be confused.

More players play magic today than ever before, showing a clear upward trend in popularity over the last 10 years. Reports by Hasbro, the parent company of MTG, put the figure at “around 6 million” in 75 countries in 2003, while current(2016) unprofessional estimates are at anywhere from 8-15 million globally.

The game was invented by Richard Garfield with the financial support of WotC, the latter now owning the game in it's entirety and the former currently receiving royalties. Despite his lack of direct control over the game since the late 90s, Richard Garfield still contributes to the game sporadically, and is considered by many to be a pillar of the community and is known by Magic players internationally.

The game is known best for it's simplest mechanics by those who've never played it, these principle mechanics being 5 colors and resource building involving “lands” and “non-lands”.

Magic: The Gathering is a game like any other. The company prints things on cardboard and it turns into money. Might as well cut out the middle man and print money.

Person A: Magic The Gathering Players are fat vrigins.
Person B: Did you know that the player base of Magic: The Gathering in the United States has a 10% lower rate on obesity than the national average? How about we talk about issues that matter instead?
