Shot Wave 

Shot Wave (VERB)- A party/social gathering activity in which each participant lines up next to each other while holding a shot glass filled with liquor. The first person in the line will take their shot, followed by each person in line in progressive order. The faster each person takes their shot, the more powerful the "shot wave" will be. Much like doing "the wave" at a sporting event, except with alcohol.
"Guys let's get this party started! Let's all do a shot wave to get it poppin!

tidal wave shot 

At a bar, tell your friend you want to do a "tidal wave shot" with them. Order two shots of "something blue" and a glass of water. The second after you both take the shots, throw the water in your friend's face, slap them and yell "TIDAL WAVE!!!"
Did you see when James got a tidal wave shot last night?! He was soaked!

A fascinating but, unfortunately it seems, moribund form of radio broadcasting that utilizes radio frequencies from about 1,800 kHz to 30,000 kHz. Some say that the Internet is totally to blame for shortwave's demise, but in fact there are many other reasons: poor propagation conditions (e.g. coronal flares on the Sun that can block radio reception for many days), mismanagement and bad frequency allocation by the stations themselves, transmitters in disrepair, lack of funding for the stations, radio frequency interference caused by various appliances that create walls of noise when one is listening for stations, etc. On shortwave, one can often hear interesting cultural programs and music produced by the host country, and some shortwave listeners have created a hobby-within-a-hobby of collecting "QSL" (verification of reception) cards, pennants, CDs, books, etc.
Back in the late 1970's, I loved to listen to Radio Tahiti on my shortwave receiver.
