Cribbs (Kribs)
Army slang for a long range missile capable of destroying your much better equipped opponents, and which therefore must be used in every way but the manner intended.

Polian (Pole-ee-ann)
To refuse an attempt at a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in favour of trying to accomplish something you have already done once.

"He only needed to win one more hand for a shot at $1m, but he Polianed it and went to play bingo again"

Welkered (Well-ker-d)
To vindicate a Polian.

"Turns out he had a pair of twos, he'd have been Welkered if he carried on. Still, looks like he's doing ok in the bingo..."

McDaniels (Mac-dan-ee-ells)

"Protestors have complained that the new runway will leave many local residents unable to sleep because of intolerable McDaniels emitting from aircraft taking off"

"I think after we cut off his toes he just kind of Zorned out"

Cutler (Cut-ler)
Talented employee of organisation who is given poor tools to work with, but is expected to perform better than the previous incumbent.

"He might have been good in the kitchen, but lets see how he manages if we cut his arms off! I bet he's a Cutler, you can see it in his chin"

Favre (Far-v-re)
To cuckold your boss in public.

"You wouldn't think he could still Favre like that at his age. I don't think she's complaining though. Hey Brad, isn't that your wif... oh. Why are you sobbing?"

Houshing (Hoosh-ing)
The act of talking up your ability whilst simultaneously proving yourself incorrect.

"He reckons he's going to kick our ass at pool, but I think he's just houshing - look, he's just racked them up on the foosball table..."
