dead phone routine

A person's excuse that they flaked out on an agreed-upon meeting or date with you because their phone was not working, not paid, or not charged. These excuses are often belied by the fact that a call to the user results in a normal dial tone, rather than going straight to voicemail.

The dead phone routine usually goes something like this:

1. "Sorry, I got stuck downtown and my phone died."
2. "Hey I just got my phone back up I had to pay it first."

HYPS

Abbreviation for "Harvard, Yale, Princeton, or Stanford." These are the four top colleges in the US. Other schools like Penn or MIT are up there, but don't quite match the prestige.

Friend 1: "My best friend from Penn got a Rolex from his dad over dinner at graduation right in front of me. I graduated from Penn too a year ago, so I came back to my parents and asked 'Where's my Rolex?'"
Friend 2: "Haha, I bet they were like 'hmph.' But if my kids graduate from a top university, I'd probably buy them that watch. Would you?"
Friend 2: "Only if it's one above Penn, heh... Okay, maybe Penn or better."
Friend 1: "Well, that's ridiculous. You're basically saying they have to graduate from HYPS to get a Rolex... Otherwise, they'll have to buy their own watch."
Friend 1: "Fuck 'em. They can buy a Timex."

krystal ball

(v, tr.)

Hampering a political candidate's chances of winning an election by circulating compromising old photos of the candidate on the internet. The term is especially applicable to sexually suggestive photos.

The term is based on the 2010 congressional campaign of 28-year-old Virginia businesswoman Krystal Ball, who received negative publicity after photos of her sucking on a Halloween dildo during the 2007 holiday were unearthed.

Student 1: Hahaha. Ben's blog swears he's going to run for Congress in a few years. Quick, let's save some pictures so we can krystal ball him later!

(Student 2 logs onto Facebook and begins to save photos of their "friend").
