hunkering down

it's when you are so fucking cheap to decide to go to work very early and look for parking on the street. Also metered parking starts at 9am and you are there at 8:30 to hold the spot.

Hunker Down game is a game played at hurricane parties. You watch the weather report and everytime the weatherman or news guy says "hunker down" you take a shot. By the time the electricity is out, you don't even care any more.

a phrase used very commonly by radio announcers as hurricanes pass by. it basically means "hang in there" or "be strong."

To get down to work on what you have to do.

To squat in an aggressively sexual position

First introduced and popularized by George H.W. Bush, this southern-American slang means to toughen up and get ready for a rough time. This irritating phrase is now used regularily on CNN in conjunction with phony technical malfunctions and microphone tilts towards the wind in an effort to sensationalize their hurricane coverage.

A really great beer-drinkin game from our hillbilly brethren. Involves two competitors holding opposite ends of a long rope and standing on buckets (more traditionally, ammo cans.) At the cue (anyone in the crowd can holler HUNKER DOWN) the competitors pull on the rope until there is no slack left. From here they must use craftiness, trickery, and a good amount of hunkerin down to make the other person set a foot on the ground. Trust me, it's great.
