Downvoting Victim's definitions
Coined by Brian "The Dark Lord" Chamberlain, AKA The DLC.
Originally it was used by the Dark Lord to complain about a ruling by the DM that caused him to say, not do nearly as much damage as he expected to in D&D.
Now it is more of a word generally used to question anything that seems illogical, out of place, ironic, or hypocritical.

Early Usage (Circa 2001-2003)
DLC: I cast LIGHTNING BOLT on the group of **name of monster we're fighting**!
*rolls a bunch of dice*
I do 32 Damage. Ahh...
Steve (DM): The lighting seems like it SHOULD have hurt them... but they don't appear hurt.
DLC: Uhh... Steve, **name of monsters** aren't immune to lightning spells... unless... oh CRAP! In PLAYER I know what we're fighting, but my character doesn't know! Dammit. *Arrogant look.*
Later example (2004-05)
Me: Max, a pound of feathers weighs less than a pound of bricks.
Max: Uhh, Steve... they're both a pound...

Get the Uhh, Steve mug.Twenty dollar bills, so one can make change with all the Mexican people that buy everything with $100 bills, yes, even if they have twenties. Keeping twenties is insurance against the slowdown caused by having to get change for a $100 from someone else.
I saw a lot of Mexican families in line ready to mispronounce the name of the movie they wanted to see after taking 5 minutes standing in line to decide what that movie would be, so I made sure that I had plenty of Mexican Insurance on hand by keeping more twenties in my drawer.

Get the Mexican Insurance mug.To level your characters to the point where defeating the bosses takes absolutely no skill whatsoever. This is done in RPGs by unskilled players who avoid any challenge by spending a long time leveling on weak monsters instead of attempting the dungeons at a level that would prove at least somewhat challenging.
Lord Alex refused to go to the Floating Continent in Final Fantasy VI until he was level 40 and everyone had fully learned all the espers... that is more than overleveling!

Get the overlevel mug.Los Altos, California is a city that borders Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Mountain View, and Palo Alto.
The TOWN of Los Altos Hills is for rich people who literally have a supreme court case allowing them to mandate homes be half an acre or larger.
The LAPD are probably bored out of their minds, hoping to bust an aigga robbin' the hood. Or maybe they're protecting San Carlos, CA from anti-tech vandals. Hope for the latter. Pray for the latter.

I grew up in "Loyola Corners" of Los Altos, CA from 1985-95, and it had a reputation of being the "hippie neighborhood".
Then we moved to Shallow Alto because of the "school" "system".
Palo Alto sucks, Los Altos rules.

Get the Los Altos mug.Also known as an HSOP, this is a male's shower that takes an hour. Any male spending an hour in the shower is quite obviously masturbating in there.

Get the hour shower of power mug.A confusing "1-6" grading scale used in high schools. Originated from "red ink".
It is rather confusing, because in typical terms 4/6 would be a D+, but on a "rubric" a 4 is more like a B+/A- level, and 5 or 6 are very hard to get.
The same high schools that use "rubrics" tend to ask retarded questions for essays like "Did this essay cause you to reach any EPIPHANIES?"
Whatever, man.

When I was in high school, I got a "4" on my rubric. My mom freaked out, not knowing a 4 was like a B+.

Get the rubric mug.A band where the singer is either unwilling or unable to play an instrument.
Many bands have 3 or 4 members with the singer usually playing a rhythm guitar or in some cases (Eve 6 Max Collins), bass.

Brandon wanted to start a band. But since he could sing but had no ability to play any instrument, he insisted he'd start a five piece band.

Get the five piece band mug.
