law school

A building where you will spend three years of your life reading statutes, court cases, and legal commentary. You also will spend time arguing over politics, drinking beer, and playing poker. For the privilege of doing all this, you will pay a minimum of $30,000 per year (probably more in the Western or Northeastern U.S. states).
Law school typically serves as a training ground for politicians, real estate developers, and professional gamblers.

dehancement

An "upgrade" to a product or service, which, while intended to be an enhancement or improvement, actually renders that product or service less useful or valuable than it previously was.

The word can be used as a noun. Its verb form is "to dehance". Its adjective form is "dehanced" (see below).
The most common example of dehancements are in the software industry. For example, the 2008 edition of Microsoft Word was dehanced. It is more difficult to navigate through screens and commands, and in general much less effective than earlier versions.

Baby tax is actually a pretty interesting course; it sounds like it would be dull but you learn a lot of useful stuff

pissrag

A nasty prank to play on some douchebag who has done something to annoy you.

Simply take a washcloth or dishtowel, and urinate on it profusely. If you don't have enough piss to soak the whole thing yourself, find a like-minded prankster to piss on it too...the more the merrier.

Then, take the piss-soaked cloth and either A) throw it at the intended recipient or B) leave it someplace where he is likely to find it (on his doorknob, in his mailbox, whatever).
Mike was being an asshole all week, so on Friday, I decided to pissrag him. He never saw it coming

boozemas

A late-December holiday, usually celebrated between Dec. 24 and New Year's Day, which consists of heavy consumption of alcoholic beverages, and occasionally also marijuana and other drugs.

Similar to Chanukah, but unlike many other holidays, Boozemas may last for more than one day. In fact, it can go on until A) you have to show up for work sober (for a change) or B) your body begins to reject all the alcohol, resulting in severe illness.
