wechby

An acronym for "Woman Everyone Can Have But You".

Suggesting someone who is an object of fascination and/or obsession, but unobtainable.

Possibly first coined to refer to an archetype in the Unknown Armies roleplaying game.
Example:

Character 1: OMG! Did you see that chick on the bus? She's got everything I need in a woman.

Character 2: Yah, I've seen her around alot before. But seems like she's always in the company of some other guy. I pined after her awhile myself, but eventually just wrote her off as a total WECHBY.

harambee

(possibly noun or verb) Possibly translates as:
"A cooperateive society or socities."

Or:
"Working together in unity."

Apparently the word is usually uttered at community gatherings like fundraisers for students or sick people.

Possible alternate spelling: Harambe
Example 1: The family mentioned to the village elder that they needed money to send their son away to school. So a festival was held at which the elder stood on a chair shouting "Harambe!" and asking for donations on their behalf.

Example 2: In the last hour of the work day the employees in charge of labeling got a new order needed by the next day. To help them out the boss gathered employees from other areas to work together so everyone could go home on time. As he pitched in to help as well he called out "Harambe!" in an effort to inspire team spirit.

neo-techular

(adj.) having the appearance of newness, futuristic design, and/or technological sophistication, whether or not these qualities are actually present.
Julia's sunglasses struck most of her new friends as neo-techular in design due to their sleek shape and mirrored finish. Little did they know she'd owned this same set of eyewear for five years now and originally bought them from a street vendor for $5.99.

get back on the horse

Def. 1 (verb) To attempt the same challenging action after failure. Apparently derived from an old adage: "You have to get back on the horse that threw you."

Def. 2 (verb) To get back into a habit. Traditionally this would refer to a good habit, but sarcastically might refer to a bad habit or addiction. Possible confusion with the phrase "on the sauce".
Def. 1 - I know you burned the turkey trying to cook Thanksgiving dinner, but you can't let that stop you if you really want to become a chef. You'll just have to get back on the horse and try cooking it again.

Def. 2 - I'd been trying to do 30 minutes of exercise every day, but my work schedule eventually got so busy I could never make it to the gym. Things have calmed down quite a bit recently though and I keep meaning to get back on the horse and go work out again.
