An extremely annoying indie pop collective. Their instrumentation may be unique, but their music is so sugary that one can do nothing but cringe, as if their teeth are rotting under their lips, while listeining to it.
Me: What are you listening to, Alex?
Alex: Oh, I've got Architecture in Helsinki on my iPod. Have you heard of them?
Me: Yeah, they annoy the living hell out of me. You should listen to some real music. How about some Tapes 'n' Tapes? Some Wire? Some Sebadoh? Those are all far better choices.

insincere, inauthentic, dishonest, and ugly building design meant to meet the bare code, legal and zoning requirements for standing domiciles whilst achieving one goal and one goal only : making money off the public and usually in the most blunt, crass and direct way.
Wal-Mart Inc. employs fuck you architecture in almost all of its' stores and surrounding properties.

A faggy paradigm of common sense design principles. People like to spout off about SOA as if it meant shit - which it don't. The key thing to remember with SOA is that it is very gay. If you have an ounce of sense in your head, you will design your systems to conform with others it will be working with. We don't need 1300 page manifestos explaining how or why we should be doing this.

Don't be a queer, homo, gaylord, fairy, flamer, faggot, fudge packer, poof, ponce, meat-smoker, cock sucker, butt pirate, fruit, queen. It's obvious.
You can't put stars into triangular orifices. You need service oriented architecture for that. You CAN put your dick into another man's ass though, with or without an SOA. But I don't need to tell you that.

A funny way of saying "driving around because you got lost".
My husband wouldn't stop for directions, so we wound up taking an architectural tour of downtown Chicago for 2 hours today.

A school with the most unnecessary long name. Ran by a 6' 6" 300 pound ego maniac who makes students wear uniforms but yet promotes creativity. Said to be a noteworthy school for its construction trades and engineering courses, but it is in fact only a small part of the curriculum. Just a very fake school in general, bound to be housing some of NYC's most dangerous kids by 2020.
Random Nigga: What school you go to? Me: High school for construction trades, engineering, and architecture.Random Nigga: What the hell is that?
