Definition

The "alive and kicking" phrase dates back to at least the early-19th century when it referred to people actually being able to kick as a sign that they were still alive. AAK was eventually adopted as an acronym for the phrase in the late-1990s and 2000s as Internet lingo and texting became more commonplace.

feeding the penguins

A colorful euphemism for vomiting after excessive drinking, inspired by how penguins regurgitate food for their young. It's nature's way of reminding you that those last three tequila shots were a terrible idea. At least penguins do it out of love; you're just doing it out of poor judgment.

That tragic moment when you sit down and your pockets violently eject all their contents like a ejector seat for your belongings.

xbox tan

A really, really, really, really pasty white skin tone. When someone gets an xbox they invariably spend too much time indoors playing it, and the lack of sunlight they recieve results in a lack of melanin in the skin, turning them albino white. Hilariously, this insult should be applied to people who through no fault of their own cannot develop a dark tan, such as the elderly, ginger-haired folk and computer nerds who should know better.

wheeze

The noble art of mooching, taking advantage of, or enjoying something without proper permission—immortalized by Pauly Shore in the 1992 classic "Encino Man." To wheeze is to partake in someone else's resources with the confidence of someone who definitely wasn't invited. It's borrowing without the intention of returning, enjoying without the burden of ownership.

snow

Frozen precipitation that falls from the sky when atmospheric conditions are cold enough to turn water vapor into ice crystals. Apparently someone felt this common weather phenomenon needed an Urban Dictionary entry, presumably from a place where it never snows.
