Words you can keep
While doing a sit-up when you bring your body up, the pressure on your stomach causes you to release a fart with a very unpleasant steamy surprise.
Dakota had a PT test early that morning, while doing his sit-ups he had the sudden urge to fart but sadly ended up doing a shartup instead...needless to say he had a shitty morning.

Startup Girlfriend 

A girlfriend of a start-up CEO or co-founder who understands that her boyfriend is a young, crazy, ambitious, aggressive, academically and socially intelligent monster whose sole purpose in life is to create innovative technologies and business models. Therefore, he does not necessarily care about anything that goes on outside of his company or the industry in which it operates.

She also understands that for a period of time, her boyfriend is cash-strapped, and therefore does not engage in spurious expenditures and demands such as bottles of liquor at Hollywood nightclubs, sushi at overtly expensive posh restaurants, and $22 sandwiches at Urth Caffe.

The ultimate startup girlfriend also comprehends that time and not cash is the most important asset.
Dude, Sharon is a total-startup girlfriend. I showed up 2 hours late to her birthday party and even forgot her gift at my apartment, but she wasn't upset at all when I showed up!

A recently formed company. In modern terminology, it has come to describe a company formed with a business model relying on the internet.

Me: "No, you're a self-absorbed idiot. Get a real job."

is when you have a great tech business idea and you make it a real business, but usually you fail (it's okay), because you're not that f*cking good businessman, or because it turned out that you had a shitty idea and you hadn't pivotted in due time, and you already spent all money.
Good startups (10%): Google, Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, Evernote, WhatsApp, Snapchat and every other that you using on daily basis.
Bad startups (90%): There are too many to list them, and it will be better to not say them aloud (superstition)

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!
