1. Paul had to get orthopedic shoes due to his troublesome toes.
2. Samantha went to the Ortho today. Things were the same old for her. Check up her braces, tighten them, inflict pain.

A brand made for the Best Buy chain. They are what most call the "in house" brand or the "knockoff" brand. Nobody truly knows who makes the products. Their products have old parts from numerous brands which are assembled in an undisclosed location in Asia. Some are said to be made by LG, others by Funai or Orion.
The brand is sub-par and for the most part has "gets the job done" products. It is just a cheap alternative to the major brands, but sometimes they are priced at the same price as the mainstream wanted item.
Getting a universal remote to work with their products is a major hassle as well. Almost none of them have the code.
They are a sister brand to Dynex, another Best Buy brand with questionable origins.

I went to Best Buy and I saw a 52 inch Insignia LCD screen. It was pretty good, but its shotty history is very concerning. Not only that, but Geek Squad is a bitch to deal with. It's like dealing with that stubborn person in your family that only wants their way or the high way.
I rather spend the money on a nice Samsung or LG.

DMV is known nationwide as "The Department Of Motor Vehicles" where you get your tags, licence, ID, and other legal documents with your state.
In the DC Metro Area, it is slang term for the DC metro area. It is a term that has been recognized as far back as 2004 when local R&B and Hip Hop stations "WKYS 93.9" and "WPGC 95.5" started advertising themselves as radio stations that play the biggest hits in the DC area. As the time has passed by (and thanks to Wale), it has become a widely known term for the DC metro area. There have been local international calling cards that also bore the name "DMV" as far back as 2000, but never were able to popularize the name for the DC metro area like the way the radio stations did. It is not a popular term in the actual "DMV" area as many people prefer to represent their areas of DC which are: PG, NoVA, Route 1/The Highway (Richmond Highway portion), Chirilagua/Arlandria, South Arlington, and many smaller communities.

Non Local: "I hear you are from the DMV"
DC Local: "Nahh fool, I'm from the Highway"
Non Local: "What part of the DMV is that?"
DC Local: "I just told you!" "The Highway." "You know?" "Richmond Highway." "Sacramento Square." "You're slacking!"
Then of course DMV is self explanatory, unless you live in Maryland, which they call that government department the MVA.

Spanish for "High waters". It can literally mean high waters as in the water is very high, or it can refer to the pant style in which the sock shows when the person is sitting down.
"No vengas, todavia, hay aguas altas."
A: Damn, look at that cholo with his aguas altas. He thinks he's the shit!
B: Yeah he a fool for rocking that shit.
