avro

Ironic mispelling of arvo, an Australian abbreviation of "afternoon".

"Yeah, I'll do it this arvo."

(Apologies extend to everybody who opened this entry without knowing "avro" was actually a typo)

English Language

Something people of the younger generation have an inexplicable difficulty in expressing. Most notably the use of "American English", a degredation of the traditional language where "peepz speek lik diz, yo!!". Critique is erronously directed towards anybody with half a brain and the sense to realize that using "traditional English" is NOT "old-fashioned" or "geeky".

Conversely, English has already been the most bastardized language over the centuries, having taken many words from multiple languages and confusing the hell out of non-native speakers. But people of today's generation do NOT need to go intentionally out of their way to bastardize this already-confusing language further.

"Hipster": 'Eya homes, whaddup yo?! Layin' th'cuts straight ballinz, fo shizzle?!"
Person who speaks proper English: "Learn some basic English, fucker. I've got no idea what the hell you're saying."

Roosterteeth

True veterans of the machinima field, Roosterteeth are the creative geniuses who created the fularious web-series Red VS Blue (based off the Halo series), as well as Strangerhood (based off the Sims). Unlike many fan-based creations, Roosterteeth haven't shown any signs of slowing down over the years; to this day, they continue to roll out hilarious comedy that gives them their well-deserved reputation for being comedy geniuses. They're also credited for producing the brief P.A.N.I.C.S series ("People Acting Normal in Crazyass Situations"), for the F.E.A.R game; and while PANICS was only brief, it did deliver a good laugh. However, Roosterteeth have forever remained most famous for their work in Red VS Blue, which continues to be widely regarded as one of the funniest things on the Internet.

Church (Red VS Blue): "Tucker, there's a very fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think I walk that line everyday of my life."

Mutter

1) The act of murmuring, mumbling or otherwise verbalising one's speech at indistinct levels of volume (often when complaining silently, or "speaking under one's breath").
2) The German word for "mother" (see Mutti)
3) An album released by Rammstein in 2001, characterised by the cover's image of an unborn foetus (a depiction that some weak-stomached fans found slightly unnerving). The album is widely regarded as a Rammstein classic, heralding their most spectacular and illustrious works, such as Feuer Frei, Mutter, Mein Hertz Brennt, Speilhur, Sonne, Ich Will, and many others that make the album one of Rammstein's most hailed and incredible works (although most Rammstein fans, including myself, would argue that all of their albums are brilliant; but subjectivity has no place in this description).

1) My boss reprimanded me for arriving to work late, so I walked outta his office muttering profanities under my breath.
2) "Ich leibe meine mutter" (I love my mother, in what's hopefully correctly worded German)
3) "Keine Sonne die mir scheint, keine Brust hat Milch geweint in meiner Kehle steckt ein Schlauch. Hab keinen Nabel auf dem Bauch." ~ Lyrics from Rammstein's album, 'Mutter' (from the song under the same name)

Photoshop

#1) noun. Arguebly the highest-quality and most versatile graphics design/editing software on the market. Highly expensive, but having nonetheless seen widespread use across the 'net (partly due to Kazaa's influence.

#2) verb. To "photoshop" an image is to generally merge or edit the picture's qualities, typically with Adobe Photoshop. Has now crept into common usage to describe any images (especially photographs) that've been edited (This term was originally used in reference to Photoshop.)

Other guy: "You *brought* yours? Damn man, I just d/loaded a hacked Photoshop Warez from Kazaa. w00t!"
