road rules

MTV's Real World on wheels. Basically as boring as any other road-trip-based reality TV show that doesn't involve high-speed police chases.

MTV also devotes at least 8 hours a day to Road Rules reruns/marathons.

HUD

Housing Under Development. Can be cheaper than buying an already-finished house because you get to add whatever you want to it at a lower price.

jalopy

Slang term for an obsolete, worn-down machine or hardware device. Derived from the misspelling of the word "Jalapa", which is the name of some town in Mexico that is famous for the Jalapeno pepper, and its former junk-car-scrapping industry.

In the ghettos and the trailer parks, you will even find some people living in jalopies.

cookie

A text file that is saved to your computer's hard drive every time you access a page on the Internet. A cookie file sends the information to advertizement agencies who will use the information to spam you with junk mail.

I have to download a program which destroys cookies so I won't get spammed.

manga

Basically, it's comic-style or single-panel style art of Japanese origin. Most anime shows are based on manga.

Go to any store that sells comic books. Manga comics aren't hard to find.

rancid

Having a bad odor or taste due to decomposition of fats and oils. Nasty.
Can also relate to how bad someone's remark is.

The five-month old leftover casserole smelled rancid when it was thawed out from the freezer.
