hang fire 

1. An unexpected delay between a firearm being triggered and the bullet actually firing. (whereas a misfire is when you pull the trigger and NOTHING happens)

2. A state of relaxation, and/or where nothing gets done. Taken from the Rolling Stones song "Hang Fire" and applied as an entirely new term. Basically to chill.
1. "That hang fire during shooting practice scared the crap out of me!"

2. "Hey man, let's hang fire later tonight."

hangfire 

Traditionally the term refers to a delay in the detonation of gunpowder or other ammunition, caused by some defect in the fuze. In more modern usage it means to 'hold back' on some plan or intended action.

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.
Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Nerd neck 

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
