day of defeat

A game that is not 1, not2, but infinite steps up from Counter-Strike, which is a favorite of close-minded individuals and infantile morons.

Among the countless advantages of Day of Defeat, you do not get as many immature little kids complaining about hackers, and the damage level and recoil is such that the game requires skill and is a learning process.

crock

Short for "crock of bullshit."

True beauty is on the inside? What a crock!

Comment submitted with Request to Delete: "It is hard to understand "crock" by giving a saying "crock of bullshit"; it's like defining basketball as "what they use in a basketball game"
