power chord 

A musical chord formed by a root note, its fifth, and its octave. Among the easiest types of chords to play on the guitar, due to an easily shiftable fingering position, and the power chord's ability to "fit" over both major and minor melodies. Vital to heavy metal and punk music.
Old Black Sabbath and AC/DC albums have a lot of simple yet great power chord-strumming songs.

Power Chord 

A common 'chord' used mostly in gutiar based music. It is made by playing the root, 5th and 8th.

For the person who said that parallel 5ths and 8ths shouldn't be even used, I think you'll find this is only relevant to Baroque and Classical music. What about Debussy and his use of 5ths and 8ths? In the right context, it can sound fine.

So please, stop living in the 18th century.
I'm going to play a Power Chord by fretting G, D and another G.

PowerHoodz

Some autistic sanicfag who wastes his time making shitty reviews on Sonic 06, yelling about GRIFFITH, and faps to Cream the Rabbit like the sick pedo he is. He also regularly abuses his online friends because he doesn't have real life friends to a point where he would send pictures of cutting his wrists and face like a emo girl after having enough putting up his shit. He lives with his mentally disabled lawyer mom and uses his lawyer mom to sue anyone making parody videos on his meaningless, spreading drama, or not returning gifts from people they never asked to begin with.
PowerHoodz tried to suing me for spreading drama, gamerfans!

powerword 

The Powerword: Real Name is one of the most powerful spells in an internet wizard's arsenal. Most people believe that the relative anonymity of the net allows them to indulge their most perverted and unacceptable desires without consequence. However, since these same people are not elite hackers who have taken Computer Science III, they don't realize how easy it is for a highly motivated team of Hackers on Steroids, like for instance Anonymous, GNAA or Bantown, to track down their dox and reveal all to the world.

Revealing to your victim that you know their Powerword: Real Name will cause them to panic, as they suddenly confront the possibility that their Furaffinity posts or the Eagle-Fox hybrid voraphile porn on their DeviantART account could be seen by potential employers. Their typical reaction will be to DELETE FUCKING EVERYTHING - fortunately, most good trolls take screenshots.

The name is fashioned after D&D, where several high-level magic-user spells are called "Power Words" because they cause a given effect with just a single word (power word kill being the most 1337.)

According to the secret policy document owned by LJ Abuse, but not the actual LJ TOS, using a person's real name on LJ is a suspendable offense.

Of course, this only works if their real name is genuine and not a clever decoy.
