Another Name for the The Prom as in the USA. And just as it is in the USA, the ball, as it's called in Australia, features similar events.

At the Ball you can expect to Find:
1. Girls Dressed as Slutty Preps, with Boyfriends 10 years older than them.
2. Guys Dressed as Professional Manwhores.
3. Poor Dancing and Music.
4. Very Bad Food and Beverages.

But after The Ball is the real Main Course. It wouldn't be uncommon to find:
1. Mass Loss of Virginity.
2. Mass Drunkeness
3. Mass Fights and Bickering.
4. Exposure to Powerfull Drugs.

Yep The Ball is certainly one of the greatest assets we have. Schools plan it about 1 Year ahead, and even show students how to apply condoms. Isn't it great how responsible we are?

What a great memory to have. The problem is it's not a memory, your either too drunk to remember, or never talk about it again. What a joke.
Rebecca spent an Amazing $1000 of her parents hard earned money on her dress that was too big for her anyway.

Simon spent $500 on his ball suit, made himself look professional and neat. His dad gave him a few tips and condoms.

Rebecca and Simon took a Limousine to the ball, not really caring about the ball itself, but what would eventually happen.

They ate the crap food, listened to the shit music, danced like a true couple does, showing how grown up and mature they could be. They had heaps of photo's taken, so their parents would see how great they looked and acted.

After the ball they hopped back in the Limousine were Rebecca got fingered. Once they got to the after party, rebecca and Simon drank and drank until they were completely smashed.

Simon spewed up over all of his friends, and rebecca made out with one of her best mates. Simon and Rebecca eventually hooked up, found a spot in some bush were both forgot about their condom training, and had unprotected sex for 2 minutes. Both virgins no more.

A few weeks later, Rebecca is pregnant and both of the young couple are more than screwed. Rebecca hasn't spoke to her mate either.

The Cost of Rebecca's Virginity and Dignity: $1000.
The Cost for Simon to Take Rebecca's Virginity: $500.

The Cost to Society:
1. Sexually Transmitted Infections, Arrising from New Sexual Appetite: $millions
2. Teenage Preganancy's (Government Payments): $millions
3. Cost of Unreplaceable Virginity in Future Marriage or Partner: -Unreplaceable-

That my Friends is The Ball and The Prom.
the ball by sxar June 17, 2005

the ball is in your half court

this expression means

it is now up to you to decide on what you want to do/what decision to take

N.B : this phrase is a direct English translation of the french (specifically of France) expression "la balle est dans ton/votre camp"
mother: Angela, why are you doing drugs? I now give you two choices: either you leave your current boyfriend Brandon and the drugs, or you can move in with him; in which case I will want to have nothing to do with you. The ball is in your half court.

Angela:I would like to commit suicide. Wtf? You want me to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea?

mother: that's not an option. i am taking you right now for a psyche eval.

The Ball Effect 

The timeframe when you are hit in the balls really hard, but it still takes like ten seconds to feel any major pain.
"He swung the bat right at my nuts, but I didn't feel it for a while."
"That's the Ball Effect for ya."

"Hey Sally, you want to hang out this weekend?"
"I can't, I have dance."
"You're such a Bunhead."

"Yeah... I know."

trucker's tan 

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
