just to be sure it's Westinghouse 

Means the same as the phrase, "just to be sure"; the "it's Westinghouse" part originated from television commercials for Westinghouse Electric in the 1950s, who's catchphrase was, "You can be sure, if it's Westinghouse".

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!
