struggle plate 

A dish of food that either looks like nasty, unappetizing slop or is simply ugly in presentation, even if it might actually taste good.

Term even applies to when one posts a picture that exposes his or her lack of culinary savvy. Person who prepared said food is usually quite delusional, really believing they just threw down like a gourmet chef at a restaurant rated tops in a Zagat survey.

Term known to have originated as a trending topic hashtag on Twitter, most often triggered on Thanksgiving. Spread to a Tumblr site, Instagram, and elsewhere on the net.
Dude straight threw chicken breast fillets on his grill with ZERO seasoning or marination? Talk about struggle plate!

latest and greatest

a term usually used in a derogatory manner to describe brand new things, and how sought after and fawned over they are by people who often already have perfectly good items said new thing would be replacing, usually in an attempt to stay hip or cool, be "first on the block," or keep up with the Joneses.
The Apple fanboys always gotta have the latest and greatest, faithfully in line for new iPads and iPhones, even if their current ones are only a few months old and the new ones aren't that much different.

Hayley, you already have 12 Prada bags, do you really need to chase down the latest and greatest?

Gotta love how these spoiled hipsters use their trust funds on the latest and greatest!

only of significance as something to buy and give for the holidays (or sometimes birthdays), but otherwise totally useless the minute they unwrap it.
Gifty things aren't exactly stuff you find at Spencer or actual gift shops...no, gifty crap is what you find on end caps at Target and in checkout lines at Ross every December.

Every store gets in the act of selling gifty stuff. The likes of Home Depot will sell iPod speakers and baby booties just because it's the holidays.

adj 1. when an act is gay and racist simultaneously 2. involving gayness and racism in the same situation

Note: Unlike the other definitions, this sense has nothing to do with homophobia
The sitcom Community actually had two gaycist moments:
-Abed is hand feeding a Black man chicken fingers with a lover's tease to it as the guy has a smile on his face. The chicken part is a no-brainer but read on...
-On a dare from Chang, Pierce, and more to the point, Troy, a Black character, show up to a school dance in ladies' pantsuits. The gaycism is obvious when one considers the issue of Hollywood frequently placing Black actors in emasculating situations

Also gaycist is when a flamboyant gay man, Matthew Miller, auditions for American Idol. When he finishes, he says that a lady once told him he sounded like a "skinny Black woman." And mockery ensues...
Simon: We're not sure whether it's Matthew or Martha
Randy: Is Martha the name of a skinny Black woman?
Matthew: No, if I was a skinny Black woman, I think I'd be like Shakiki or Shaquana

tweetquake 

A quake of Twitter activity when everyone rushes to tweet when a big event happens. Inspired by how folks in California will all tweet about earthquakes that just happened like clockwork!

Could also call it a "Twaftershock"
Kicked it in bed, felt the earthquake, got up, hit the web to check Twitter...sure enough, a tweetquake!

The Video Music Awards is bound to cause a tweetquake tonight!

cut the crap

What one says to another to shut them up from lying, double talk, dancing around an issue, bullsh*tting them, etc. It lets one know you're not going along with or buying what they're saying and/or that you want them to tell the truth, get to the point, shoot straight in the conversation or confrontation.
"Where's my money, Marv?"
"Yo, hey, I've been meaning to call you, something came up, and I, uh..."
"Cut the crap, douchebag, where's my money?!?"

"Whatever, Crystal, cut the crap, you spent the child support on a f*ckin' dress for the club! The judge will love to hear that!"

smart dumb nigga 

That guy who doesn't know what he's talking about but tries to sound like he does. Not very bright, doesn't make any sense (though he thinks he's really profound, on to something, etc.). He's not lying to you, he simply doesn't know any better, but will insist he's right, which makes him not worth the trouble of setting straight. Yes, THAT guy.

A very on-point term (coined by comedian Katt Williams in The Pimp Chronicles pt 1), because we all know one...or more.
Examples of smart dumb niggas would be:
-the chick who insists her Infiniti Q45 is front wheel drive when it's really rear drive
-the guy who spells the word "ludicrous" like the name of the rapper Ludacris
-most people who say overstand or conversate
-one who knows the Bible like the palm of his hand but argues the Earth is only 6000 years old
-most conspiracy theorists

You know a smart dumb nigga when you see one basically.
