Kobayashi Maru

A no-win situation caused by a set of rules that can only be won by changing the rules, in effect, cheating. This term comes from the name of a small ship in distress in a scenario shown in a Star Trek movie. According to the film, the scenario is featured in a training simulator for students attempting to become ship's captains. They receive a distress signal from the Kobayashi Maru and can either attempt to rescue it and be destroyed by enemy forces or leave it and let it be destroyed. James T. Kirk, according to the film, is the only person to have won the scenario--by reprogramming the simulator. Kobayashi Maru, loosely translated, means "Little wooden ship."

Someone experiencing a Kobayashi Maru can be said to be between a rock and a hard place.

We can stay in this burning plane or jump, but we don't have any parachutes. What a Kobayashi Maru.

"This is the Kobayashi Maru, nineteen periods out of Altair VI. We have struck a gravitic mine and have lost all power..."

kobiashimaru

In Star Trek II: The no win scenario that all starfleet commanders faced upon leaving the academy. There is no way to beat the simulation to see how a commander can cope with such a scenario.

However, Captain Kirk got a medal of ingenuity from Starfleet by beating the simulation by reprogramming the computer to have a situation in which he could win.
It's the only known solution and noone has been able to reproduce it but Kirk.

A kobiashimaru- when a guy loses a girl and it's his fault- and he absolutely can't get her back and its tearing him apart- but he has noone to blame but himself.

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.

What a fucking nerd neck!

He is building so fast, nerd neck!
