Why do guys like us know what a duvet is? Is this necessary to our survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word?

Get the duvet mug.A term that was created when someone misheard the expression prank call.
Since the debut of the show Crank Yankers, the name has stuck. This is unfortunate since "crank" call doesn't make any sense.

Person 1: Dude the other day we made a bunch of crank calls, it was hilarious!
Person 2: You made what? You mean PRANK calls, right?
Person 1: Prank call? ... Huh, I guess you're right.

Get the crank call mug.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 Diet mug.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 warmth mug.A diet and/or lifestyle that promotes not using any animal products or byproducts.
The vegan diet and lifestyle are both impossible to follow to the fullest, so most vegans tend to stop when it becomes inconvenient. For example, animal products are used to vulcanize rubber and process steel. So a true vegan would be forced to shun most anything found in an industrialized nation, notably things such as cars, buses, airplanes and bicycles. Also, the vegan diet does not and cannot supply vitamin B12, as this essential vitamin only comes from meat and dairy. So a vegan must either take vitamin supplements, (which one way or another come from an animal) give up the diet altogether, or face B12 deficiency; which can cause brain damage.
Generally, vegans tend to ignore such glaring contractions and problems, preaching that they are the moral elite; even if they happen to be wearing leather shoes.
