NAP, Naked Artist Party
When a group of artists meet up, get naked, and draw each other (like they would draw a nude model)
Person 1: Dude, did you hear about the huge NAP the art kids had last weekend ?
Person 2: Yeah, I saw some of their drawings from it.
A person who politely smiles and feigns amusement, while someone in their presence re-enacts a comedy sequence so poorly that others nearby are embarrassed.

One who renders himself conspicuous by affectation of dress, manners, and speech. The word was first familiarised in London in 1881, and is a revival of the old word dudes (clothes). We have several derivations, as dudder, one who sells dress-pieces; duddery, a rag-shop; duddle, to wrap up warmly (Halliwell), etc. It is not of American origin. The term is also unisex.
He is a cool dude.
Look at that dude.
