Nicholas D's definitions
A name commonly used as a pun in many words in the Engirish language. Can be pronounced either "grr-IHSH" or "grr-EESH".
Girish Girishtie, a poligirishian from the girishdiction of New Girishey, had a big debate to attend. He had girishently been engirished to run for Congirish by mentors like Girish W. Bush and Newt Gingirish. Girish wasn't the most girishmatic man and sometimes spoke jibgirish. Nor was he learned, never having read "Ode on a Girishan Urn" or the writings of the Hare Girishna, instead preferring a John Girisham book or "The Lion, Girish, and the Wardrobe". Still, he lived a fairly luxurgirish life and certainly was not malgirished due to his love for sugirish foods. Speakingirish, he enjoyed Girish's Pieces, Rice Girishpie Treats, licgirish, and Ben and Girish ice cream.
Girish studied his policy points he might have to regirishitate later, rigirishly covering all the categirish. He boned up on the situations in Kyrgirishtan and United Arab Emgirish, Turgirish transgirishins against the Kurgirish people, the ingirishingly girishly water crisis in Flint, Girishigan, the latest girishmandering district lines, the new tax on cigirish, and girisht of the issues. With fingirish crossed, off to girishes he went! Unfortunately he had an amagirish and disgirishful performance and was embarrgirished by the eventual election winner, Mr. Girishon from "South Park", an aggirishive gingirish ogirish clown with angirishues and no disgirishion. At least he was a girishous loser, figuring it's all girisht for the mill. Someday, he regirishured himself, his face would be on Mt. Girishmore.

Get the girishmug. Attempting to get the worst possible gas mileage. The opposite of hypermiling. Usually done to look like a rebel or to spite the system or environmentalist hippies.
Dave: "What up dogg. Let's head over to Mel's Tavern and throw back some Jager bombs."
Pat: "No can do, broski. I'm all out of cash. Had to fill up the Hummer 4 times this week at $4.50 a gallon."
Dave: "Whaaat? How can you go through that much gas? You don't even drive that much."
Pat: "Hypomiling, man, all the way. I loaded a half-ton of bricks into the trunk, added air shields for extra wind resistance, and of course a full-size fridge in the back that runs off gas. Not to mention accelerating and braking as fast as possible and revving the engine at every stoplight. I've gotten this baby down to 2 miles a gallon!"
Dave: "Um...yeah, that's great, but now you're broke."
Pat: "It's totally worth it! Yesterday I put together a poster of my gas receipts and odometer readings, then showed it to a bunch of people at Whole Foods. You should have seen the looks on their faces. Dirty hippies! I got them good! My carbon footprint is bigger than the Grand Canyon! Hahaha!!! Eat that, Al Gore! I am the greatest hypomiler alive!!! Mwhahahahaha!!!"
Dave: "Dude, you've really lost it this time."

Get the hypomilingmug. A principle that basically states that things of similar composition will eventually tend toward the same location because they are similarly affected by wind/ocean currents, magnetic fields, and other forces.
Examples are hairballs from dogs/cats and giant masses of condoms people have found in the ocean.

Brad: "...so that was like the third time this year that my sister has been hit in the face with bird shit! I wonder why that happens to her so much."

Get the like aggregationmug. Winona Ryder would have been able to make off with $10 worth of CVS merchandise if it wasn't for that damn security alarm.
Bernie Madoff really "made off" (pun intended) with his investors' money.

Get the make offmug. Acronym for collateralized debt obligation, a funding tool that banks use to package up a bunch of bonds (often subprime mortgage backed), then divide the package up into new bonds and sell them after skimming a few million dollars off the top. Usually called "diversified," but if you've got dog shit, horse shit, ape shit, and elephant shit, then you can call it whatever you want, but at the end of the day you're still just holding a gigantic pile of shit.
A way of putting lipstick on a pig that banks milked the hell out of from the mid-1990's til 2007. Unfortunately the banks got totally Bear Stearned when everyone saw through the lipstick and they were caught holding a whole sty of CDO pigs.

Banker: "I've got this great investment for you. It's called a CDO."
Sucker: "Um...I've heard bad things about those. What's so good about this one?"
Banker: "It's diversified! It's got subprime mortgage bonds from Kansas, subprime mortgage bonds from Georgia, subprime mortgage bonds from Nevada, and subprime mortgage bonds from Michigan!"
Sucker: "I've heard bad things about subprime - do you have anything else?"
Banker: "Of course! This other CDO is even MORE diversified. It's got Ninja loans, loans to homeless people to buy crack, Iraqi government debt, and loans to people that need some money to bet on the roulette wheel in Vegas. Of course there's almost NO chance that any of those people won't be able to pay back what they owe."
Sucker: "SOLD! Give me $10 million of it!"

Get the CDOmug. A difficult situation that one experienced that is as traumatic and harrowing as fighting in a long and brutal war. Coined by Donald Trump in a 1997 interview with Howard Stern.
“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam era. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.” - Donald Trump, speaking about his experiences sleeping with a large number of loose women and trying to avoid catching STDs
Dude: "Hey bro, I heard the Philz Coffee near your office closed down. That's a bummer."
Bro: "Dude, you have no idea! It's been like my personal Vietnam. Now I've had two choices: 1) go without coffee or 2) go to freaking Starbucks and drink that swill! There's no other choice. I'm not sure I can go on like this anymore."
Dude: "Wow bro, that's really rough. I can see how that's similar to being tortured within an inch of your life in a prisoner of war camp for three years."
Bro: "Yeah, maybe even worse."

Get the personal Vietnammug. A legendary beirut/beer pong shot that lands on the tops of four cups simultaneously. Considered the rarest shot in the game, topping even the trifecta, 2-cup knockover-and-sink, and simultaneous 6-cup game-ending double bounce-in. Counts as 4 cups and has never happened in recorded history of the game, despite being theoretically possible.
So rare for the following reasons:
1) Only possible with smaller-than-average cups.
2) Only possible when cups are arranged in a perfect square formation (not possible in a standard game).
3) The physics of it happening are similar to those of the trifecta, which almost never happens in itself.

Witnessing Dan's game-ending quadfecta in the semifinals of the Theta Delt beirut tournament was a thing of beauty comparable to seeing the face of God Himself smiling down on you from the heavens.
