studying

If you're looking up this word there's a very high chance you should be studying yourself.
Rather than studying, Billy browsed the internet for 3 days and bombed his English 101 exam.

Lottery

False hope; a tease; an "easy way out" that can never be obtained.
Billy spent $100 on lottery tickets and didn't even win that much back.

Boomstick

The twelve-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
Alright you primitive screwheads - listen up! Ya see this? This... is my BOOMSTICK!

bench jockey

A negative way of describing someone in the scientific field who spends a vast majority of his or her time in front of a bench or lab station performing mundane and repetitive tasks. The typical entry level position for college graduates who enter a science job and how disgruntled lab techs refer to themselves. Those who do well are typically promoted to a supervisory or managerial position before going on to get an advanced degree such as an MBA or PhD.
Billy got a bachelors in biology and his first job was working as a low paid bench jockey.

Brian got a masters in biology but still had to start off as a higher paid bench jockey.

Sue got a bachelors in biology and like her colleagues had to start as a bench jockey. After a few years she left to get her MBA and now oversees all of her company's bench jockeys.

bloody mary

A cocktail made from vodka, tomato juice, other spices, and a celery stick. Can also be used as a hangover cure. My recipe is:

1.5 shots vodka
2 shots tomato juice
2 shakes Worcestershire sauce
1 shake Tabasco
dash of horseradish
dash of salt & pepper.

Fill a highball glass with ice. Pour in the vodka, Worcestershire, Tabasco, and tomato juice, and stir with a celery stick. Dash the horseradish, then shake on pepper and salt (if using low-sodium tomato juice). Use the celery stick you stirred with as garnish.
Guy: BARKEEP! Another bloody mary!
Bartender: Dammit, Donnie, you've had 4 already, go home!
