specific object; explicit and sole goal. Used to describe the reason one committed a particular act, especially if the motivation is somewhat unusual.
"Disaster capitalism" sometimes takes advantage of natural disasters, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. But in 1973, Pinochet and the US Central Intelligence Agency carried out a coup d'etat with the express purpose of imposing neoliberal policies against the democratic will of the Chilean people.

someone who can't say two words without talking shit. They go out of their way to be a raging bitch. In a group of friends, "she" would be known as the "bitchy one". Constantly putting others down for entertainment purposes or to make "herself" look better.
"Damn, she's a bitch on purpose for talking all that shit for not reason!"

A spur-of-the-moment decision to do something that you should not be doing, which you then deny when someone finds out about it by saying it was completely on accident.
Girl 1: Did you steal my favorite shirt? I found it in your room
Girl 2: Oh! Uhh, I must have, um, packed it in my bag by mistake when I was leaving your house! It was on accident!
Girl 2: Yeah, right, accidentally on-purpose!

The ninth studio album by the Swedish ex-Melodeath band In Flames. It is the perfect example of what once ambitious bands tend to do to sell more records and attract angsty teenager audience. The lyrics from mature and abstract themes of earlier albums have degraded into "I feel like shit, but at least I feel something" and other similarly trivial sentences. The sound is reminescent of all these MTV-puppet bands, although still not enough to be written about in shitty magazines like Bravo or Popcorn. Like being stuck between half-suckitude and full-suckitude.
Timmy: Dawg, have you heard the new In Flames CD, A Sense of Purpose? It's almost as good as Linkin Park and Disturbed! Yay!
Johnny: I agree, In Flames are on a good way to sucking just like these bands you named do...
Timmy: What's that supposed to mean...!?
