Holding it in Contest 

To settle a bet or an arguement, two people will eat alot of taco stand mexican food and as much laxatives as medically advisable. Then the two contestants squat over a prized possession i.e. high school diploma, family bible, new born puppy... the first one to void their bowels loses.
Either contestant can, however, conceed the contest prior to the Niagara like release in order to use the toilet like an adult. The penalty for this is to wait outside the bathroom for the winner to use it first, then proceed into the bathroom (fumes potent) and then video tape themself hastily drop trou, then the full release. They must mail this video, with no explaination, to their mother. When she calls to ask "whats wrong with you?" the loser must say "oh no, I sent it to the wrong address...i gotta go" then they are free from the bet.
"Cal Ripken Jr. did too play for the Orioles. Wanna have a Holding it in Contest over it?"

“You’ll never guess who is holding hands in Wexford!”

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!
