maddener

A person who obnoxiously interrogates someone who has just lost a bet to the point of extreme anger while inserting retarded nuggets of genious that would make even John Madden proud.
"So how much did you lose on the Colts game tonight?"

"Shut up man, I don't want to talk about it."

"I can't believe you made that bet. It was so obvious that Manning was going to throw six interceptions and lose a fumble tonight."

"You know what Jack? Stop being such a fucking maddener and go play in traffic."

Kanter-card

Made famous by the terrible play and unbelievable luck of Aaron Kanter during the 2005 World Series of Poker, an unlikely river card that gives a player an improbable win to a hand that he should never had been in at any point at all.
After some raising and following a flop of 6c-5d-3h, Raymer bets with Kd-Kh and Kanter calls an uncallable flop with Qh-Jh (5% to win). The turn card is the 7h, Kanter bets $600,000, Raymer moves all in, and Kanter Calls off all his money with his weak draw. Raymer shows his pocket kings, and Kanter shows his queen-high flush draw, needing a heart. Naturally, he catches the first of a long series of Kanter-cards with the river 2h, and makes his flush to cripple Greg Raymer.

princeton

Home of arguably the worst of all architectural eyesores, its architecture building.
Student 1: "Do you think that we should admit to the horrific appearance of that architecture building?"

Student 2: "Well, even though we're at Princeton, where we're all self-acknowledging elitists who are incapable of taking criticism and we have to constantly tell ourselves that we're the best university in the country because nobody else cares, I think it's pretty ridiculous not to agree that the building is quite ironically disgusting.

holdout

To wait for someone else to call back when a call gets disconnected rather than calling back yourself.
"Damnit the call got dropped."
"Aren't you going to call her back man?"
