When you go to the pub straight from work and end up out all night in your work clothes.
Most people that do it are in the construction industry.
“Coming pub after work lad?”
“Yeah I will but I can’t be arsed staying out all night though. We’ve black crashed it every Friday for the passed 2 weeks”
(phrase): for a heterosexual to enter an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans) event such as a Pride parade or festival. Coined by Natasha Bedingfield in an interview about Milwaukee's Pridefest in Summer of 2008, referring to gate crashing, but the interviewer heard "gate" as "gay," which was equally appropriate.
1. There were so many men at the New Kids On the Block concert, I felt like I was gay crashing!
2. We're going to gay crash Woody's after dinner and then go to the midnight movie.

Phrase meaning to have a spectacular failure or fall from grace. Considered to have originated from losing an aerial dogfight.
Sometimes accompanied with hand gestures and sound effects of a crashing, burning airplane.
I just asked that woman at the bar for her phone number but I crashed and burned.
She tried to tell a witty joke at the dinner party but her mother-in-law was actually born in Ireland so it crashed and burned.

Like a bachelor's pad (a place where a man lives his bachelor lifestyle and only other bachelor's inhabit), the crash pad is a place that a person uses only to sleep. They are usually either busy or simply detest their domicile to such a degree that they will only deign to return when they simply must sleep.
Jason isn't home much. He pretty much uses the place as a crash pad.

A heartfelt "Good luck" wish.
Airplane pilot slang, dating back before WWI, but still in use.
Severeal things were considered unlucky, like having one's picture taken in the cockpit, or to be wished 'Good luck' before takeoff. As pilots are strong believers in Murphy's law (things never go as you want them to), this would most likely lead to disaster. Therefore, the natural way of wishing good luck on somebody, would be to call the worst possible thing down on their heads.
It is similar to the Luftwaffe's "hals und beinbruch" ("Break neck and legs") or the German Navy's "Mast- und Stengebruch" ("Break masts and yards"), or when actor's wish each other "Break a leg" before they go on stage.
"Tally-Ho! Bandits at four o'clock, Angels 12! Crash and burn!" (Translation: "Prepare for combat. Enemy aircraft sighted on starbord side, slightly from behind, at 12.000 feet. Good luck!")
"So you got yourself a mahogany Spitfire? Doing bumph? Well, crash and burn, old chap!" ("So you got a ground job at a desk, filling out papers? (presumably away from the front line) Good luck, mate!")
"You finally got a date with her? Well, Crash and burn!"

A. An interpretation of sound, a pattern, image or code that you’re exposed to so frequently that on certain occasions you immediately see/hear the sound, pattern, image or code subconsciously when exposed to and continue to see or hear it whether it’s existent or nonexistent. Very similar to Pareidolia.
C. “Snow Crash” is a science-fiction/cyber punk novel by Neal Stephenson.
Example 1 -
Guy 1: “That cloud in the sky is shaped like a dog!”
Guy 2: “Dude, every day you’ve been watching too many dog videos....holy shit you’re right it is a dog! I think you just got snow crashed.”
Example 2 -
“The hacker has been exposed to programming so much that he immediately saw the system flaw when he glanced at the machine code.”
