messiah
c.1300, Messias, from L.L. Messias, from Gk. Messias, from Aramaic meshiha and Heb. mashiah "anointed" (of the Lord), from mashah "anoint." This is the word rendered in Septuagint as Gk. Khristos (see Christ). In O.T. prophetic writing, it was used of an expected deliverer of the Jewish nation. The modern Eng. form represents an attempt to make the word look more Heb., and dates from the Geneva Bible (1560). Transf. sense of "an expected liberator or savior of a captive people" is attested from 1666.

Meshiachists
Chabadniks who believe that the lubavitcher Rebbe (Menachem Mendel Shneerson) is the Messiah and soon will be resurrected and return as the Messiah (sounds familiar?).
Chabadniks are kind people known for their efforts in kiruv, however if you see a yellow flag with a blue crown and moschiach written in hebrew, run. Chabad meshiachists can also be spotted by wearing pins with the same flag, wearing a yarmulke with “ Yechi Adonenu Morenu Ve-rabbenu Melech Ha-moschiach” on it, and the song “yechi adonenu”.

- See that Chabadniks there?
- Yeah
- They’re meshiachists, they’re wearing the pins and the yarmulke
- well, it is understandable to mourn a great rebbe, however their believes are quite heretic. They need to cope

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.

Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.
Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

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.
