rubric

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+.

empty batting average

A baseball player who routinely hits for a high batting average but has limited power and patience, thus his OBP and SLG rates would more commonly be attached to batting averages significantly lower than his.

A lack of speed is part of this as well, but since stolen bases are not counted as part of SLG or any other stat other than stolen bases, said players that steal a lot would appear to have empty averages at first glance.
Despite winning the 2006 batting title, Freddy Sanchez walked just 31 times and hit only 11 home runs. His OPS that year was just .851. He also only stole 3 bases. He is the empty batting average poster man.

Juan Pierre's career .710 OPS with a .297 batting average would put him up here, but it wouldn't be as glaringly obvious if his stolen bases were accounted for.

wikipedia

Potential source of knowledge ruined by administrators who treat the encyclopedia like a tabletop RPG, penalizing users and IP addresses for what they deem inappropriate behavior.
I keep getting banned from wikipedia because the admins have nothing better to do.

mrc

MRC stands for Momthrian Regulatory Commission. It is an autocratic system run by a mother who likes to know everything about her children whether they like it or ot. It continues well into their twenties and beyond.
I've been talking to a girl and the MRC says "I don't want to know anything until you're about to marry her."

But she really must know everything from her shoe size to her IQ to her cup size...

spspsppsps

"spspsppsps" is a way to mutter. It's a breathy muttering, a way to bitch about people constantly without them being able to discern what you're saying.
"spspsppspsspspsppspsspspsppspsspspsppspsspspsppspsspspsppspsspspsppsps"

Is all ben says

cooked to British perfection

Overcooking food to the point where it loses its tastes. Used as an excuse to joke around about being a terrible cook rather than improving or giving up.
"Cooked to British perfection!" my mom would cackle as she served us yet another bland meal.
