Kent State Massacre

Another name for the event that happened on May 4th, 1970, when National Guard troops opened fire on students after a series of protests occuring on the campus of Kent State University and in the adjoining town of Kent, Ohio.

The incident was initially sparked by planned student protests against Nixon's announcement that the US would send troops into Laos and Cambodia during the Vietnam War.
Students started gathering to protest in the first few days of May, 1970. Within days, the conflict between students and National Guard troops called in to keep order had led to arrests, injuries, the deliberate burning of an ROTC building, and the deaths of four students.

1) The events of May 4th, 1970, also called the Kent State Massacre, inspired a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song called "Ohio" (written by Neil Young).

choir

1)A group of people who sing together. They are often divided into several main voice parts including: sophranos, altos, tenors, and basses. In addition, these may vary according to the nature of the choir. A men's choir might have a full range of parts including tenor, baritone, and bass, while a woman's choir might have 1st and 2nd sophranos, contraltos, and/or altos. A mixed choir usually has some combination of both. There are also show choirs, who usually do choreographed dance moves to add flair to their singing. Gospel choirs are usually found in churches, as are regular church choirs.
2) In a high school setting, choir is a sometimes overlooked class or activity. True choir lovers can usually be identified by the way they randomly break out singing anywhere, anytime. There are sometimes even section stereotypes, just as in band: sophranos are ditzy, altos are just jealous of the sophranos, etc. Choirs can often be spotted wearing rather dorky but cool choir robes.

1) A choir sang at the church ceremony.
2) I went to choir class and sang my heart out.

disasterporn

In addition to the above defintion, this term is also used in the debate community (particularly policy debate) to describe how debaters tend to get happy and excited when they hear of bad news they can somehow use to an advantage in a debate.
There is a kritik about this, because it could be considered somewhat immoral to derive enjoyment from another's suffering.

1.Debater1- "Did you hear? Five people were killed yesterday after the government mismanaged their healthcare... I've found some awesome evidence from this that'll really boost our case! We're gonna kick those other team's a$$es!"
Debater2 *looking at computer screen*-"Whoa, sh*t, man, that's some serious disasterporn there. I like it."
Debater3-"Y'know, that's sort of wrong you're so happy about this... but what the hell, I'm using that evidence too!"
Deaber4 *sighing at this perceived immaturity* -"If this was a debate I'd run a kritik on you guys right now."

dipoding

A word meaning "dual ipoding". I came up with this word to describe the often-seen act of two people sharing an ipod (one person has an earbud in one ear, one in the other). This can be done with a CD player as well, but it seems to look cooler with an ipod for some reason. It also may be more common with ipods because fewer people have one.

1) "I wanted to listen to Tina's ipod, so I asked her if we could dipod together."
2) "Jess and Jen started dipoding so they could both listen to the Rent soundtrack."

thematic elements

A vague disclaimer added to movie ratings to explain why they are rated the way they are- without actually explaining anything!
Yet another example of how the film industry lives off of consumer confusion and crazy marketing tactics.

The movie was rated PG for "mild thematic elements"... whatever that meant.
