| 8. | Twitter Standard Time | ||
|
Twitter Standard Time is the modern equivalent of the CNN era "Do Something Syndrome," where the pressure to "Do Something" in politics, globally is virtually instantaneous. J: My grad school mentor called it the "Do-Something Syndrome." And it's pretty powerful.
S: Yes, that is exactly what it is. And with media saturation, it's only worse. DOSOMETHING! NOW!!!!!!1! J: "No, we live on the internet era equivalent, it's called Twitter Standard Time!" |

When someone genetically superior to you wants you to stop being a fucking pussy and wants you to step outside the box of your average and mostly boring life, and do something that in the end everyone knows if going to be a good time. Dave to Drew:
Dave: Come on Drew lets get shitfaced tonight Drew: I don't think i'm going to drink tonight Dave: You're being a fucking pussy, let future Drew worry about the consequences (peer pressure) Drew: Alright man ill drink a little |

|
A song performed by the band Queen and co-written by David Bowie. The beat was shamefully ripped-off by Vanilla Ice. But even through that and all of time the song and all it's greatness will never die. "Boom boom ba deh, boom boom ba deh, bubba boom ba beh beh

Pressure Pushing down on me Pressing down on you, no man ask for Under pressure That burns a building down Splits a family in two, puts people on the streets Boom ba ba beh, boom ba ba beh, bee deh dop, ee deh dop It's the terror of knowing what this world is about Watching some good friends scream "Let me out" Pray tomorrow gets me higher Pressure on people People on streets Deh deh det, ooh, ba da da da bom, O K Trippin' around (kick my brains 'round the floor) These are the days (it never rains but it pours) Ee do da dep, ee da do bop bop, ee do bop, dee bop People on the streets, dee da dee da det People on the streets, dee da dee da dee da dee da It's the terror of knowing what this world is about Watching some good friends scream "Let me out" Pray tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high Turned away from it all like a blind man Sat on a fence but it don't work Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn Why, why, why? Insanity laughs, under pressure we're cracking Can't we give ourselves one more chance? Why can't we give love that one more chance? Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love...? 'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word And love dares you to care for The people on the edge of the night And love dares you to change our way of Caring about ourselves This... |

| 11. | pressure drop | ||

when a man has not been sexually relived for a long time and his balls ache from the resulting pressure, and when he is relived, it is called 'pressure drop'. Jake had not been laid in a long time and needed a pressure drop.

| 13. | education | ||
|
Dude. Fuck you all. Education may not be the "source of infinite happiness", or the most important thing in the god damn world, but you need it to survive in life, unless you want to take cock in your ass when you grow up. Education is important for when you get older, if you want to make money.
btw, and you complain and say "Oh! 18 years of shit!" Ok, now you try starting school when you're 15, and trying to get a high-paying normal job (doctor, lawyer, etc) by the time you're 30. You have to start it early so you can get all that crap in your head before it's too late. Someone: Oh, I'll become a NFL player! Just you see! Fuck education!
Me: ....sure. *7 years later* Someone: Hey, lookin for a good time? Me: ....sure. |

| 14. | get off my nuts | ||
|
An expression used by a person who is feeling pressure in a social situation by either a specific individual or a group of people. This specific individual or group of people are usually trying to get the person who uses the expression to do something that they don't want to do. "Every time I go home for the holidays my grandmother never fails to ask me about when I am going to settle down, get married, and have kids. I'd never say it out loud, but in my head I'm like 'get off my nuts grandma!'"
