noprah

When Oprah withdraws support for your book. It can also mean when Oprah doesn't give or withdraws support for anything.

Etymology: Used on E! Channel's "The Soup" on March 3, 2006 in the "Hollywords" segment. It was in reference to Oprah's withdrawal of support for James Frey's memoir "A Million Little Pieces" after it was revealed that his story was grossly exaggerated and (in parts) fictional.

Getting the noprah automatically ruins your career as a writer. No one crosses Oprah. No one!

gamble chocolates

A term that desribes assorted chocolates. One takes a gamble when they take a random piece (a gamble chocolate) from a box of assorted chocolates because the candy could be either delicious or disgusting. The term also serves as an alternative to "assorted chocolates".

Etymology: The term is used in comedian Jim Gaffigan's bit about Valentine's day.

I tried a piece from the box of gamble chocolates I got for Valentine's Day. I don't know why I even bother with these because every one tastes like it was filled with toothpaste.

duty free high five

A high five given to an employee at a duty free store. This can be done anywhere at the store, but it is preferred that the act be performed at the drive-thru window (if it has one). No purchase of duty free goods is required.

Etymology: The term was coined by David Snyder on January 1, 2006 in Niagra Falls, Canada on a road trip to see Niagra Falls. It turns out that this is the only exciting thing to do in Niagra Falls, especially if you are not 19-years-of-age.

Let's drive up to the window and get a duty free high five from that guy.

quitamine

A hormone excreted in the female body that causes a women to want to quit something. The gland is found in the woman's vagina. It is the opposite of adrenaline and is something a guy does not experience due lack of proper biological equipment (i.e. men have balls). It is often used as a reason why women want to quit something before it ends or gets difficult. It is also often used as a reason why women get bored with or fall asleep during sex. It is purely coincidental that it sounds like "quit on me".

Her: "The Bears are winning by 30 points. Why don't the Saints just quit? There's only four minutes left, so it's pretty pointless to keep going."
Him: "That's because the Saints don't have quitamine, unlike you who's ready to just throw in the towel when the going gets tough."

Her: *Yawn*
Him: "Don't quit on me yet! I'm just getting warmed up! Damn you quitamine! Damn you to hell!"
