George W. Bush 

The 43d President of the United States, a man whose greatest legacy will be remembered as international controversy, massive budget deficits, and a near total lack of anything even remotely resembling diplomacy in his political dealings.

Heavy Lourde 

A Canadian 16-ton -- sorry, 14515kg -- weight.

your dog wants steak 

Fark cliche. Might have come from a dog food commercial in the early 90s.
Apparently dogs want steak. Who knew?

fictition 

An odd neologism created in an Oscar acceptance speech by Michael Moore. Backformation from "fictitious".

hard drive 

An object mounted inside a computer that holds data. Not to be confused with the computer itself, the hard drive in the average desktop computer is made of metal and is about the size of a mass-market paperback book.
He said he was having a problem with a port on the hard drive... of course he'd actually blown the controller chip on his USB card and the hard drive was just fine.

hard drive by Brian X October 21, 2003
A song that won't go away, and gets stuck in your head. Makes you want to tear your ears out; unfortunately, deafness can't cure it because it's in there for good.
Oh, I don't know... "Seasons in the Sun", "Muskrat Love", "Lovefool"...

zero tolerance 

A punishment by the inane for the inane.
When you need a pair of needlenose pliers and you use a hammer... that's zero tolerance.
