testify

1. To give one's information "as truthfully as possible." Taken from an old Roman phrase "to swear on one's testicles." Now, think about that, and think about how differently court cases would turn out if that meaning held true to this day...

"Testify" is usually used in reference to a court setting or a confession of some sort.

GTS

A term in the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl games. Short for "Global Trading Station." A sophisticated, long-awaited update to the somewhat tedious trading system, allowing one to post a pokemon up for adoption in exchange for a pokemon of their choice, with players around the world via Nintendo WiFi Connection. Quite possibly the greatest innovation in the new games, as posted pokemon can be traded overnight overnight, even while the DS is turned off. Of course, being that Diamond and Pearl were previously released in Japan over a year before they hit stateside, there are a TON of high-level trainers in Asia offering Turtwigs and Pinplups in exchange for higher level Dialga and Palkia. Of course, with the addition of millions of American players who've only had the game for a few days, the GeoNet is flooded with n00bs who'll take any pokemon they're looking for, no matter what level they are. For instance, I posted an almost useless lvl. 5 Abra with only teleport, and got a lvl 1. Japanese Cherubi overnight, which I decided to pan in favor of a rather nice lvl 14 female Combee specimen, which is quite rare and valuable. The system allows one to search or post a particular pokemon fitting three criteria: species, gender, and level group, which is AWESOME. All in all, the feature is much better than the Underground, a MMORPGesque realm underneath the game's region that allows for one to create their own secret base and mine for minerals to trade with other players visiting the Underground, along with battling, pokemon trading, and the ability to enter other people's bases and steal their flags.

GTS: the greatest feature in any Pokemon RPG.

ad whore

any game or movie or book advertised in more than 3 of the conventional forms of media (i.e. magazines, internet, tv) so much that major plot and gameplay points are exposed before the general release, or any game advertised on the 3 media+ food and beverage products at a high frequency.

person1: Dude, did you see the summer 2004-spring-2005 issues of Xbox Magazine? Halo 2 was such an ad whore!

summer school

school that takes place during the summer

also known as hell

you will end up at summer school if you
a) drag ass during the normal school year
b) choose to take extra classes and/or graduate early

At summer school, one may commonly find: lazy white boys, anorexic girls with I.Q.s lower than their body weight, "gangstas" (see aka_Pyro's "gangsta" definition), and steroid maddened jockfaces.

Summer school is a common habitat to gangstas.
What it really means to be gangsta:

G: god-
A: awful,
N: no-brained,
G: gouch-
S: sniffing,
T: turd-encrusted,
A: ass clown.

natural selection

1. the main process behind evolution, as stated by Charles Darwin. Also known as survival of the fittest, meaning those with superior traits are more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation.

This is how life on Earth has progressed for millions of years, driven by instincts encoded into the DNA of all living things. But sadly, as a result of several factors, including exponential intelligence, irrational emotions, etc, the species Homo sapiens is slowing down in terms of evolution. Due to the successful creation of societies and advancements in the sciences of medicine, humans have become exempt from the laws of natural selection, leading to degeneration within the species.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A RACIST OPINION IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH CRAP LIKE SOCIAL DARWINISM OR BULLSHIT LIKE THAT. The point is, civilization has brought physical evolution of humanity to a halt. Medical and genealogical studies have revealed that those living in less industrialized or progressed regions or eras, differences in hygiene and anatomical knowledge aside, were more healthy and adaptable than people living in high-level civilizations. Or something like that.

Anyways, that's my opinion. Natural Selection doesn't apply to humans as long as humans stay indoors. Due to lapses in judgment, the "Unnatural Selection" that we have imposed on ourselves will bring doom to our species. Have a nice day!

fanaticalreligiousperson1: Natural selection doesn't exist!

concernedrationalperson2: True, in humanity's case. Otherwise, you're retarded.

the Megaman effect

When a game company lucks out with smash hit game, and then proceeds to crank out worthless clones of the game, cleverly disguising them as "sequels." A prime example is CapCom's MegaMan BattleNetwork series for Game Boy Advance, which began as a launch title for the handheld in 2001, but quickly became an incredibly long "series" of games that are all essentially the same game. Of course, the same thing could be applied to Nintendo and Game Freak's popular Pokemon series for Game Boy, GBA, and the DS.

Dude, WW2 games, Vietnam war games, and Atlus RPGs are suffering from the MegaMan effect.

the hustle

The least retarded dance your P.E. teachers will ever make you do. It's relaxing.

Do the Hustle! *Backwards, Clap, Forwards, Clap, spin to the right, clap, spin to the left, clap, jump forwards, jump back, repeat, click heels twice, heel-toe-heel-toe-heel-heel-toe-toe, turn and repeat from step 1*
