The current pre-determined expanse of time consisting of 24 hours that is unfolding at the exact moment that your consciousness is expierencing for the first time.
Today is a great day.
to be so interested in your own thoughts, your brain stops focusing on the reception from your senses. You only snap out of it when, 1) you realize you zoned out and subsequently "come back into the real world", 2) something happens that catches your attention, like say a major movement in front of your face, or 3) someone says your name.
When the principle came into to talk to us about Jacob running away from school on his
longboard, I was so bored by that old hag that I had to zone out in five seconds. I snapped out of it when she stopped talking, and guess what I was thinking about? A
sandwich.
1. a happy mood
2. a derogatory term for a homosexual man or woman, but can have a positive or neutral connotation when used correctly
3. an insult used to describe something that is bad, crappy, or stupid. used by the insecure, homophobic teenagers (around the 13-16 age range) to accentuate the point that they are not gay. not all teenagers use this, though. some of them develop souls earlier than others.
1. Why, Jimmy seems positively gay
2. John doesn't flirt with girls because he's gay. but there's nothing wrong with that

short for popular culture. is pretty much anything that can be identified by the majority of the youth population. and when i say youth, i mean anyone from 6-30. in short, pop culture is jokes, practices, groups of people, and terms that are used by/funny to the majority of the youth population.
pop culture is referenced in movies a lot, especially in animated (or non-animated) adventure movies that can be watched and (mostly) understood by anyone. like putting internet memes or cat videos in a movie.
the opposite of a fact; an opinion is Someone's personal judgement on something. Things like quality of TV shows, movies, books, people, bands, etc etc are all opinions. Stupid people often believe that their opinion is a fact and that everyone who disagrees with them is a moron. (I.e. Everyone who is involved in politics) opinions are, by their very nature, not factual, nor false. Things like tv shows movies, books, etc are all subjective mediums, which means their quality differs from person to person based on their opinions.
An opinion would be " George Bush is stupid" or "anime is for kids". A fact would be "George Bush is a human male and former president of the USA" or "anime is a type of animated tv show".
an old thing (movie, joke, etc.) that is so good it stands up to and beats the living fucking shit out of the new things.
