best friend test

The unwritten rule that states that before any man can date a woman, her best friend must approve of him. If the man fails the best friend test, the relationship will either
a) cease to exist
or
b) exist in a miserable state until said best friend finally convinces her friend to dump the man

The best friend test is voided if said best friend steals the man, hence ending not only her best-friendship with the woman in question but also creating a new best friend test with her new best friend.

Confusing? Yes. But perfectly logical.

I failed my last best friend test and hence am single.

verbal

In college basketball terms, a verbal (commitment) is an oral agreement between the player and a university indicating that the player will stop looking at other schools and that the coach can safely assume that he has landed his recruit. This is followed by the signing of a Letter of Intent. A verbal commitment is technically non-binding and has been the cause of much controversy in recent years, as athletes have begun to "de-verbalize" at a growing rate, causing consternation for coaching staffs and the NCAA.

Eric Gordon backed out of his verbal commitment to the University of Illinois, choosing rather to attend Indiana University
