Good Samaritan 

Another name for someone who selflessly helps others.
This term originates from the parable told by Jesus in the Bible about a Samaritan (a man from a country called Samaria) who helps out a Jewish man who is ambushed by theives and left to die. This was all the more selfless of an act considering that the Jewish and Samaritan people in those times usually did not associate with each other. This story was told in response to a question concerning the scriptural mandate to "love thy neighbor as thyself". According to the story, a man asked "Who is my neighbor?" and the moral of the parable is that everyone is really your neighbor (meaning you should help anyone you see in need).
Today a Good Samaritan is usually someone who goes out on a limb to help others, even if they are complete strangers.
Ex. An anonymous good Samaritan rescued a child from the river yesterday, but left the area before he could be thanked.

Sumerian Tavern Joke 

The earliest example of a bar joke is Sumerian, on a tablet dating from the early Old Babylonian Empire (c. 1894-1800 BC), and it features a dog: "A dog, having walked into an inn, did not see anything, (and so he said): 'Shall I open this (door)?'." The humor of it is probably related to the Sumer way of life and has been lost, but the words remain.
i cry myself to sleep every night thinking about the Sumerian tavern joke and the Sumer way of life. Oh to be a dog born in Mesopotamia between 3500 and 3000 B.C.E

Sumeriancore 

A sub-genre that describes deathcore bands who are signed to Sumerian Records or bands who have stylistic similarities to these bands. The genre is a mix of technical death metal, deathcore and mathcore. The derivation of the word is unknown, though the most typically accredited source is MetalSucks.net. The website coined the word in early May 2009 when they were discussing the latest Born of Osiris release, one of Sumerian Records's most well-recognized and longest-tenured bands.
"Dude, have you heard the new Veil Of Maya album?"
"Hell yeah man, VOM is the best Sumeriancore band."

bad samaritan 

When someone intervenes in a situation and makes things worse. For example, you are in a store and it's suddenly taken over by robbers. Instead of surrendering or stopping the robbers, you offer to help them rob the store. That would be a bad samaritan, a very bad samaritan.
"It appears the suspect acted as some kind of bad samaritan."
