the man for his time and place

A word used to describe the actions, attitudes, beliefs, and dispositions (among other things) of a lazy, apathetic, and above all worthless individual.

Due to its unusual etymology (which will not be introduced in the interest of brevity), the word can assume a polysemous form -- that is, it can mean everything, yet simultaneously mean nothing. In addition, it is extremely versatile in terms of its usability (i.e., it can take the form of a noun, verb, adjective, etc.).

Generally stands for "yeah nobody cares." It is often found following statements of which no one on the face of the planet would care about or excessive e-peen. For those not into the whole brevity thing, "yeahnobodycares" may also be used. Capitalization doesn't really matter (i.e. ynbc, Ynbc, YNBC, yeahnobodycares, YeahNobodyCares).

for·um schizo·phre·nia, n.

An internet disorder caused by an individual who reads a significantly higher number of blog, forum or comment posts by many unique individuals, to the point of hearing voices in his head that do not correspond to his perceived train of thought.

The pathology behind this disorder is believed to reside behind the individuals 'mental voice' - the voice that speaks the words in an individual's mind as he reads - and the lack of a consistent train of thought due to the brevity and uniqueness of blog, forum and comment posts

i.e. each post has a different writing style, tone, train of thought, point of view, that continuing to read these posts, without a rest period to center one's thoughts, can lead to a lack of sense of self, and beginning to hear one's mental voice speak and think in ways that are foreign to the individual

The reason it is specifically an internet disorder, and not common schizophrenia, is probably due to the style of internet writing. i.e. if a person were to read a book, or magazine article, it's length and sense of closure at the end of the article allows an individual to regain their own train of thought.

Can be commonly found to coincide with

A colloquial expression used for the anus and sphincter, taken collectively and most often, in the context of pending or on-going sexual activity, such as anal sex or rimming. It is often abbreviated simply as "ABS" in the interest of brevity.

Even with slight, random muscle control over the anus, when said anus is viewed by an observer / sexual partner, the anus resembles the body of the spider. Moreover, the wrinkled folds of skin surrounding the anus ( or pucker) lend the appearance of an arachnid's limbs (i.e. a spider's legs) flailing about.

Naturally, said "arachnid" legs are thought to be moving in anger as the anus goes through various degrees of relaxation or tension, with the anger being a reaction to the threat of imminent exploitation that the anus is likely to experience at the hands of another participant.

Although the term is usually applied to women it may be used for men as well.
