Yebenya

(ye be nyá) From Russian. A depressing, run-down, lackluster, faraway place. Could be an industrial town where the factory (mine) closed. Could be a rural settlement. This place has no work, no schools, no infrastructure, sometimes no roads, nothing to do, and no life in general. Everyone who can leave, leaves as soon as they can. Those who can't leave for whatever reason, or who don't want to leave, usually get sucked deeper and deeper into alcoholism or substance abuse. The remaining residents are usually on government welfare or are supported by their relatives who moved away. Often people barter.

Think ruinenlust or ruin porn.

Look up yebenya in Google pictures.

Etwic

For those times when you want to react with "well, that's ironic", but the situation (or story) isn't actually ironic.
A combination of the German "etwas" - something - and the "ic" ending from "ironic" (and "epic" too, I guess)

- I ran into Bob at the farmer's market today.
- Oh, that's etwic. I haven't seen him for ages.

Spirit Ball

Spirit ball is the advanced version of the popular drinking game "Beer Pong".
All the rules are the same, the only change is that instead of using beer you play with hard liquor (spirits)... with the same quantity of liquid. Usually you can only play one game.

"Hey man, wanna play Beer Pong?"
"How about some Spirit Ball?!"
"Hell yeah! Let's get smashed!"
