Coldplayed 

The act of being seen with the wrong person at the wrong time in a very public place - typically exposing an affair.

Comes from the moment at a Coldplay concert in July, 2025 where Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and CPO Kristin Cabot were caught cuddling on the Jumbotron "kiss cam" but immediately ducked and hid their faces, prompting Coldplay frontman Chris Martin to say, "either they're having an affair or are really shy."

They WERE having an affair, and both of their lives blew up.
Did you hear Jeffrey got Coldplayed at the Lakers game last night and now he's getting a divorce?

Mushary - also known as bush-riding - is the act of intentionally jumping into a bush or shrubbery - preferably head-first, and typically whilst wearing a boiler suit.

This is done for the purpose of eliciting laughs or causing a scene and is widely documented and distributed on YouTube.

The word itself is a portmanteau of "Bush", "Shrubbery" and "Manchuria" - the site of a war in which soldiers were known to jump with abandon into trenches so as to escape gunfire.
Mushary is of course a much more frivolous past time.

A particularly successful act of Mushary will result in the sight of a rigid body sticking halfway out of a thick hedge, feet pointing towards the sky. The absurdity is the point.

Some enthusiasts might claim that it is a form of anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian protest, but there is no such formal organization.
Grab your camera and put on a boiler suit - we're going out for some good 'ol Mushary.

Ice Cold Phatties 

Large balloons filled with Nitrous Oxide AKA "Laughing Gas."

The term Ice Cold Phatties comes from the unscrupulous hucksters who try to sell them to you in a concert or festival parking lot. "Ice Cold" because they're straight from the metal tank and literally cold, and "Phatty" because the buyer always wants the largest balloon they can find.
