Spew-it-knew-it theory

Spew-it-knew-it theory says that students commonly retain a lot of information for an important test/exam but then mostly forget about it once they don't need to know it anymore.

Believe it or not this has actually been backed up by real research by Hermann Ebbinghaus.
Test question (short answer): What does the spew-it-knew-it theory say?

Answer: it means that once I know it I'm completely forget about it and everything else regarding the tested information.

Jambo

Jambo is Boy Scout slang for the National Boy Scout Jamboree that have been held at Fort A.P. Hill in Caroline County VA for decades. It's more or less a giant Charlie Foxtrot where diseases get passed easily because of poor sanitation (not STDs, stomach bugs and things like that). I know this because I went to one.
-NewScout: I can't wait to go to Jambo!! It's gonna be so much fun!!
-EagleScout: Good luck getting over the stomach bug you'll get on the second day there.

Beer-Liquor Rule

The Beer-Liquor Rule is a guideline for alcohol consumption that goes like this:

"Liquor before beer, nothing to fear. Beer before liquor, never been sicker."

The placement of the 2 relationships doesn't matter whether one's before the other, as several drunks have argued it as long as they rhyme you've got the idea of the Rule.
Sonia forgot the Beer-Liquor Rule on a Friday night and missed her hair appointment the next morning.

Family friend: So where are you applying to college?

Double dip

1. When you dip something like a chip into a dip such as salsa, take a bite but don't eat the whole chip, then dip the same saliva-infested chip into the dip and eat it. Wanna never get invited back to that person's place or party? This is one of the quickest and most effective ways to do so.

2. When you have sex twice over a short period of time. Normally this refers to having sex with someone the morning after you had a drunken hook up the night before, but this can also refer to having sex with two different people in the same night.
1. I wasn't thinking at all and George saw me double dip at his cocktail party. Needless to say it wasn't a good night.

2. A: Dude I double dipped last night! Amanda and Terri something like 3 hours apart!

B: OH SHIT dude you had an epic night!

A: BEST. NIGHT. EVER.
