night arrows 

A game that originated in Perkins Green at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2005 before the seasonal snowfall came and ruined everything.

It is played between two teams (2 people per team) at a distance of 10-20 yards on a flat field at night. One team tosses a frisbee across the field to the other team. The other team returns the frisbee in good nature. The first requirement for game-play is one successful volley. After the first volley, any participant who comes in contact with the frisbee above the knee without successfully catching it is eliminated.

In a typical game of night arrows:
- tosses accelerate in speed
- tosses that are thrown too far count for nothing
- tosses that land short are retrieved in a sprint and shot back at the serving team
- there is a 1 on 1 standoff left to decide which team wins
- silly shots are made that count for nothing
- feelings are hurt (sometimes)

The game MUST be played at night. Typically, the game frisbee does not glow in the dark. The originators of this game were intoxicated for nearly every game.
1. In the game of Night Arrows, the two trick shots originally conceived by the game's masters are "Young H.O.V.A." and "Bombs Over Baghdad"

2. Chris: Yo, are we playing night arrows tonight?
Lee: Yes.
Chris: I'm glad we are going to play night arrows because I am hammered!
Lee: That's fantastic, I have a frisbee and a bubbler, now we need another team of two people to play us and get schooled.

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.

Soul digger

A man who dates women with the sole purpose of exploiting their time, energy, and labor while he sucks the joy and happiness from their lives.

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.
