A game where players must find the letters of the alphabet in order from A - Z. This often means finding said letters on Billboards, perhaps trucks, license plates, people's clothing, etc. Various house rules may exist. E.g.: The letter must be the first letter in the word, you can only use a particular sign once. You can't use the same word as your opponents. You can't use signs facing the opposite direction, etc. The first person to get all 26 letters is the winner, and usually then gets to decide if the game is going to continue (by starting to look for another A). Much of the game hinges on a person's ability to find the key letters: J, Q, and Z.

In this context, a term of measurement defining just how bad something sucks. E.g. That song sounds like ass. "Shit ass" would then be defined as something so bad, it makes normal ass seem almost good by comparison.

When in reference to U of M football, the large stadium, capable of seating about 80,000 comfortably, or 100,000+ horribly uncomfortably. Otherwise, I'm quite certain "Big House" means prison, which is also fairly cramped and full of deranged, violent people, so I guess there's some aptness to the naming.

I built on 11's and 2's, and 11 got rolled about 60% of the time... consequently, the scoring was quite lopsided.

A spamming technique where advertisements are placed on Weblogs posing as comments from users.

An area free of distractions but still close enough to all that I need that I don't just up and leave. It should be comfortable enough to make me able to stay there for 8 hours in a day [e.g. my bed], but uncomfortable enough to make me eager to leave once the 8 hours are up [e.g a prison cell].

Each day is filled with enough activities to keep me occupied for a week or so.

I did not get into my car until 9:05 am. I then drove very quickly.

She's a hottie who made conversation with me that didn't begin with "When my boyfriend gets here.." or end with "...and so I think you should leave now."

Containing that rare quality that allows something to be thoroughly enjoyed by both adults (without embarrassment) and children, without any real objectionable material,.

Anything that isn't "nice and warm". My body is unable to produce it's own heat, and incapable of storing any heat it may have been able to absorb. As it is, I sleep on a hot rock and must lay in the sun for a few hours each morning or I'll die. So pretty much, everything is cold.

Complete Jackasses

Win at all costs, but better still, win and completely crush your competitors in vicious and humiliating ways... and if winning is impossible, at least destroy any chances of winning for those around you who would certainly win were it not for your constant attacks.

A Sausage, egg, and cheese Croissant. Burger King went through all the trouble of creating a short, efficient name for the thing, and worked their made up name into the vernacular, and now they refuse to ever call the stupid thing by the very name they've given it. It's stupid. Order a "croissanwich" at Burger King sometime, and they'll say something like "So you've ordered a Sausage, Egg and Cheese Croissant." That's like ordering a Whopper, and them saying "So you've ordered a burger with ketchup, mustard, pickles, thousand island dressing, onions, tomatoes, and lettuce on a bun". Joel and I have had this discussion many-a time.

When in reference to situations involving women or public speaking read as: bold. When in reference to situations where I have a gun of some sort, read as: damned fool.

The turn where the back end of your car swings out wide one direction, then overcompensates wide to the other, then manages to straighten out when you floor it. This is seen as something mildly impressive when done on dry ground, and nothing short of terrifying when done on sheer ice.

When in reference to music, any band that plays music using amplified instruments, especially the vile 'electric guitar', noticeably loud, and had a tendency to sing or scream lyrics in such a way as to make them incomprehensible, or at the very least "angry sounding". More commonly referred to as "Heavy Metal" music at the time, evil music was to be avoided, except at sleepover parties and when riding in a car with friends old enough to drive.

Invented in High School, this workout involves 100 knuckle push-ups, and 200 crunches, all done in time to Losing My Religion. The idea is to do it so fast that you don't have time to realize you want to die, and can't feel any part of your body.

The meal before we open presents. Rarely an elaborate meal, and 2nd helpings are frowned upon...and usually result in numerous fork stab wounds.

1.) A complete idiot. 2.) A mild idiot made more foolish by the consumption of alcohol. 3.) Secure enough in his/her own self to not mind making a complete and utter fool of him/herself on occasion.

The type of person who, after getting clocked in the face, with a possible broken nose, and in a decent amount of pain, is mainly pissed about not getting to bat again.

More often then not, poorly constructed schemes to make myself a better person, and thus make life better for myself and those around me. While enjoying fairly limited success throughout the years, these experiments have resulted in a number of alterations in/additions to my daily life, including my ability to play the guitar, my decreased use of profanity, and my daily heroin injections.

More than famous

More often then not, "interesting" means bad. E.g. That's an "interesting" answer/outfit/haircut/smell. Occasionally, interesting can mean entertaining or weird. E.g. Playing tennis with Robb was "interesting".

I suck at Golf

Women.

First in first out. Not "I'll cut in front of you, even though my passport is stuck inside the bottom of my bag and it's not even my section's turn to go."

The mainstay of at least 95% of all sitcoms, the love triangle takes the common sitcom premise: Guy appears perfect for girl, but for one reason or another can not be with her, and adds a new person who becomes romantically interested/involved with one of the two parties. Examples: Sam, Diane, and Frasier in Cheers, Ed, Carol, and Dennis (or Nick, or Bonnie, or Jen) on Ed, or Ross, Rachel, and Julie (and a laundry list of others) on Friends

The one club that could be used for almost any situation, from long fairway 2nd or 3rd shots, to difficult lies in the rough, to short shots to the green. If I had only one club (besides the putter) to golf with, this would be the club. See: 7 Wood.

My home away from home, that happens to serve food. You know you've been going to a place quite a bit when you can just show up, and the hostess knows who you are, how many in your party, and whose section you want to sit in.. Then your server knows your name, your drink preference, your Good Neighbor number, [and probably your credit card number], and what options you want with any meal you might order. Then the manager sits down next to you and talks to you for a while, mentioning that you more than likely single-handedly pay her paycheck. Tis a fine, fine place.

A dream that seems to be some sort of urgent message sent from my subsconcious to my conscious. Often times, for me anyway, it seems to be my repressed thoughts that I've either chosen to ignore or simply haven't had the notion to think about suddenly coming to the forefront and demanding to be heard.

Those moments in life when suddenly everything seems to make sense, and you understand why things are a certain way, or why you behave the way that you do.

Oftentimes referring to being depressed, but may also include just plain sad, very pissed off, angry, mad, or rejected. 98% of the time this feeling is woman related. The other 2% are due to calculating errors.

Take 1 part caffeine, 3 parts sugar, combine, heat, then stir. Taste is irrelevant.

That bitterly divided force inside my head that seems constantly battling between self preservation and self annihilation.

To satiate the demon that is obsessive compulsiveness

One who does all he or she can to appear as though they fit in with a certain scene, without accepting or holding true to any of the ideals of said scene, or truly grasping what it is they are trying to be a part of. See Also: 75% of my High School life.

A mini-golf shot where your first hit somehow manages to return all the way to the starting position (and possibly farther in the wrong direction) and your second hit (from what ought to be the "tee-off" position) is a hole in one, thus resulting in a score of 2.

Sequential numbers in the same suit [e.g. 4, 5, 6 of Hearts]

What you call it when you're pretty much dating, but the girl doesn't really want to have the kind of relationship where she's not allowed to just ditch you at a moment's notice cause she's no longer quite as bored or lonely... but still expects you to come running in 2 months when she is again.

Collection of the same number [e.g. 4 kings]

I become a freaking moron.

A quality held by an item that makes those that own said item believe that the item is more valuable than they could have possibly imagined, and believe that those in charge of creating said item are to be praised. This same quality causes those that do not own said item to loathe and mock said item even more, and loathe the greedy bastards that came up with such stupid marketing ploys.

A clever way for TV stations to show really poorly done commercials while the show is still on.

(Your age / 2) + 7 = Minimum age requirement.

Jurassic Park

Imagine the entire journey of the Lord of the Rings, delete everything remotely interesting [e.g. wizards, magic, swords, and women], and add a giant landfill by Coopersville. Don't forget to add the snow, the darkness, and the constantly trying not to fall asleep parts.

A state of being when one is almost completely certain that any action taken will result in serious pain of death. Ironically, the absence of action will result in certain death.

The background music in most cheap porno movies. When in reference to my mood, that depressed/self pity/whiny mood that is often accompanied by much introspective pissed off rant writings, pacing, and the invention of many a Grandiose Experiment.

Take your cell phone, hold it to your ear, then hold it in the air above your head, then bring it back to your ear, then smile and wave at the person to whom you are signaling.

To take my mind off of all other stresses in my life, including, but not limited to: Work, Money, War, Crime, Women [woman] & what the hell is going on inside their [her] head.

Most often sports related: when you can seemingly do no wrong, and every action results in exactly what you wanted to happen, if not better than you planned. Decisions are made on pure emotion and instinct, and thought is completely avoided. Mysterious in nature, "the zone" can disappear without a moments notice, and therefore is treated with extreme caution and an increased belief in, and adherence to, superstition.

I was able to pull out a cheap, self-declared victory based on a technicality and some clever word play.

in a single round, the cards played by all the players; the high card is the winner

the suit that has been declared to rank above all other suits for the duration of the hand; a trump can take a trick even when a card of a different suit is led
