divx
1) Format (codec) for digital video (.avi) files that uses lossy compression. DivX was created by reverse-engineering the MPEG4 format. DivX is known for being able to create high-quality video with very small file sizes. The makers of DivX claim it can reduce a DVD to 10% of its original size and be virtually indistinguishable from the original.
2) Acronym for "Digital Video Express", the failed DVD rental format from Circuit City. They way it worked was once you "activated" the Divx DVD movie, it would lock you out after 48 hours, at which point you could unlock it for another 48 hours, or buy the full movie and unlock it permanently. Never really caught on, mainly because you could only play Divx movies on Divx-enabled DVD players.

Divx
1) Divx, Divx 6 or Divx avi, is the name of a video format, which can store standard definition video, and up to 5.1 audio, but on a much smaller file size than DVD-Video or MPG. Sizes can be as small as 700MB, allowing for easy storage on CDs, USB sticks or even internet sharing sites. This is achieved by using the superior Mpeg 4 compression scheme, compared to the old Mpeg 2 compression scheme used by DVD-Video or MPG.
Divx files have a .avi or .divx extension. Divx is probably the second most ubiquitous video format in existence (bested only by the DVD-Video format, you may already have a divx-capable DVD player and not knowing it), and the most common format for sharing movies on the internet.
The downside is that making a good quality divx file takes some skills. It's also possible to put subtitles and menus inside divx files.
2) Divx HD, Divx 7 or MKV, is the name of a video format, which can store high definition video (same quality as Bluray), and up to 5.1 audio. Divx HD files are basically MKV files, but with tighter guidelines regarding audio compatibility. Divx HD (MKV) files are generally smaller than Bluray files, around 13GB. Even smaller file sizes can be achieved by throwing some quality out, thus allowing for an HD movie to fit in a dual layer DVD (7.9GB).
MKV is the most common format for sharing high definition movies on the internet. Bluray players with support for Divx HD/MKV have recently started to appear on the market.

1) Most DVD players sold today are Divx-capable, allowing you to play movies downloaded from the internet. Unfortunately the PS2 and Xbox are not divx-capable players.
2) Some Bluray players are Divx HD/MKV-capable, allowing you to play HD movies downloaded from the internet. Unfortunately the PS3 is not.

Nutshot
It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Nerd neck
A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
