random play: a random action; by chance
Bum suck cig: possibly a reference to how a homeless person might pick up an unfinished cigerette off the street and smoke it aggreseively. Not sure about this
Bilateral: both sides acting at the same time
chest bump: I have no idea
dropkick: in American football it is the act of dropping the ball and kicking it, as opposed to kicking a ball which is set on the ground
It is done during a "punt"
PWN : I don't know the answer to this

chest bump - That probably refers to two men, while facing each other, jumping together so that their chests touch. It's usually a "congratulations" for a good play in sports.

pwn - I never heard of it, either.

[CP]

A dropkick involves letting the football hit the ground and bounce up, then kicking the ball while it is in the air. It is a playground kick, not one used in playing regulation American football.

When you punch someone without warning, that is a sucker punch. It can also be used metaphorically. Maybe you've had a girlfriend tell you it's over when you thought everything was great. She sucker punched you with her announcement, dumping you hard. You never saw it coming.

A search of the term bum-suck indicates that it means puffing a cigarette and blowing the smoke out without inhaling.

Asterix posted this on another thread (I think by mistake) about pwn:

"The slang term Pwn (see pronunciation note below), used primarily in the Internet gaming culture, means to own, have ownage over, and/or soundly defeat an opponent. It is sometimes used for taunting of an in-game enemy and gloating over victories. It can also be used, especially by non-gamers, in the context of getting "pwned" by The Man.

In Internet security jargon, to "pwn" means "to compromise" or "to control", specifically another computer (server or PC), web site, gateway device, or application; it is synonymous with one of the definitions of hacking. An outside party who has "owned" or "pwned" a system has obtained unauthorized administrative control of the system. "

The term was one of 16 to appear on the 2006 "List of Words and Phrases Banished from the Queen's English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness," released annually by Lake Superior State University.
