GAWII's definitions
A campaign that pushes the idea that any african-american who reports any crime whatsoever to the police is a traitor. Quite popular in the gangster rap scene. This has been very effective in reinforcing the racist stereotype that all black people are criminals.

Get the stop snitchingmug. The Atkins diet for dummies.
Dr. Atkins said you should eat nutrient rich carbs instead of nutrient deficient carbs. This appears to be a simple idea, yet apparently figuring out that this means eating spinach instead of potatoes or broccoli instead of corn is akin to rocket science for the unwashed masses. So in comes the South Beach Diet, which is exactly the same except it breaks everything down into "good carbs" and "bad carbs".

Get the South Beach Dietmug. Euphemism for the constant buzzing and hissing heard on vinyl records.
Used by fans of vinyl, who claim this distortion makes records sound better than CDs; which sound too "clean".

Vinyl Fan: Here let me put on this record, then you'll understand. (Record starts playing) Do you hear the warmth?
Normal Guy: Warmth? I just hear a bunch of hissing under the music. Why is that better than a CD?

Get the warmthmug. The Producers was at first a film made by Mel Brooks. Then they made a Broadway musical based on the film. Then they made a film based on the Broadway musical based on the film.
One can only guess how long it will take them to finally come full circle and make a NEW Broadway musical based on the film based on the Broadway musical based on the film.

Get the The Producersmug. Date rape is an archaic term from a past time.
The definition of date rape: Rape committed by a person known to the victim. That's it. RAPE committed by someone who is NOT a complete stranger to the victim.
Many people nowadays might find this confusing. "Isn't that just rape?" they might ask? Well when the term date rape was coined, no it wasn't. 40, 30, even 20 years ago, what society deemed as rape was a man coming out of a dark alley and forcing sex on a woman with the use of violence; or at least with the strong threat of violence. That act was what society deemed as rape, and if the man was caught he would likely go to prison. Now, what if a woman went to a man's house to have a cup of coffee after a date? If he forced sex on her, even with her pleading him to stop, was that rape? At that time no it was not. If the woman went to the police, all she would likely hear are things like "You were coming on to him, he couldn't help himself." If the case even went to court she would practically be put on trial herself, the defense claiming that she was a slut and the man was just showing her a good time.
It's true. If the man didn't have a knife or beat the woman half to death, clearly it wasn't rape. That's what society believed.
So the term date rape was created. To describe an event of non-consensual sex which didn't fit society's "traditional" view of rape. BUT... today the term is outdated. "Date rape" is now simply considered rape.
