Rover

That white oversized beach-balloon thing off of the cult 1960s psychological British spy TV-show "The Prisoner" (the one with Patrick McGoohan). Rover acts as the disciplinary force in a disguised detention centre for spies ("the village"). Upon finding an escapee, rover pounces on them and knocks them out, then carries/drags them back.

Patrick McGoohan almost escaped in the first episode of "The Prisoner", but then Rover caught him and foiled his escape :/

Dancing

Not giving a shit about what other people think of you as you move you body gracefully (or not so gracefully) rhythmically to the beat of music. Often done at parties, discos, etc... Can be done on one's own but is more fun done in pairs or in groups.

Man that party was CRAZY! We were dancing all night and all mornin'!

Royal Wedding depression syndrome

Sometimes abbreviated to RWDS - it is a condition which affected people most recently in England, around the time when Prince William and Kate Middleton (now Princess Katherine) had their wedding. The condition's leading cause appears to be the general atmosphere created by such an occasion. Specifically it is when people get fed up with all the media focus and people generally getting too excited about the wedding, tas well as certain companies producing Royal Wedding condoms.

1) Man1: "Are you watching the royal wedding tomorow?"
Man2: "No man, I got Royal Wedding depression syndrome!
Man1: "Seriously man? That's too bad."
Man2: "No I haven't really got it, I just couldn't give a shit."
Man1: "..."

Yetyoo

Abbreviation for "You're entitled to your own opinion". Synonymous with "fair enough" or "I can't really come up with a good enough counter-argument for what you've just said, hence I am going to play it safe by dismissing the choice of arguing as unnecessary".

Person1:"This band rocks man!"
Person2:"No way! The singer's so drunk that he sounds like a recruiter for the Legions of the undead zombie whordes from Valhalla"
Person1:"Yetyoo dude, Yetyoo..."

Facebook slog

When a seriously bored individual spends hours doing nothing but looking through facebook, to the point of madness or suicide, whichever comes first.

X: "Have you seen Andy? I swear he's spent four hours on facebook! Hasn't he got better things to do?"
Y: "Oh you know how he is, probably just having another Facebook slog"

Maths

One of the weapons of mass-torture (WMT) that teachers have up their sleeves, only useful if you wanna become an engineer or doctor or something fancy like that. Maths is known to bore the poor students who study it to the point of depression-induced suicide. It can pay the bills though.

I plan to become an artist so I don't see how studying Maths at A-level will do me any good.
