tacklehug

To aggressively or enthusiastically hug someone, often with a running start.

Can be used as a noun or a verb.

Text usage is similar to glomp, but without the fangirl stigma.

Even between friends, this exchange comes off as creepy and overenthusiatic:

persondude: yo
animefangirl: SQUEEEEEEE! *glomp!*

The second person in this conversation, on the other hand, maintains a small level of dignity or reserved coolness:

persondude: hey
cooliochika: *tacklehugs*

like a leech

Comical phrase used to emphasize suckiness of person, event, location, object, or idea.

Used because leeches, by definition (and life function) suck.

See also: like a vacuum, does what a Hoover does

This game sucks like a box full of leeches.

Let me get you a straw

"You're a wuss. Learn to deal."

An elaborated version of the sentiment is found in the phrasing: "Let me get you a straw so you can SUCK IT UP."

The proffering of a straw to aid "sucking up" abilities is generally considered more comical (read: obnoxious) than simply telling a whiner to deal.

Can be used in any situation.

*a minor chainsaw incident occurs*

Bob: Um, could you call 911 for me?
Frank: Do it yourself.
Bob: ...I don't have "hands" anymore.
Frank: How about this? I'll get you a straw so you can SUCK IT UP.

turn on a penny

To have a turning radius slighty larger than that of a dime, but smaller than that of a nickel.

Not as impressive as being able to turn on a dime, but still, not bad.

My new car goes from 0 to 58 in a really short amount of time, and can turn on a penny.

Billabong

One of the funnest words in the world. On a level with quark and discombobulate.

Billabong. Billabong, Billabong, Billabong. I could say this for hours...

not quite the same

Completely different.

Often said with nostalgia.

You know, Star Wars is not quite the same without Muppet Yoda.

The new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles isn't quite the same as the kickass show I watched as a kid.

Your Mom Goes To Collage

An insult regarding the artistic ability of a person's female parent, especially in regards to the cutting-up and re-gluing of pictures from magazines.

Found especially among students of Graphic or Interior Design, as no one else cares (or knows) about the artistic abilities of their mother.

This insult is perhaps a parody of misspelling/mispronunciation of Kip Dynamite's crushing yet witty line your mom goes to college.

Graphic Design Student: You wouldn't know an "Interior" if it were labled--in chartreuse!
Interior Design Student: Oh, yeah? You call *that* "graphic design"? I made better collages than that when I was three!
Graphic Design Student: Your mom goes to collage.
Interior Design Student: *runs away crying*
