watch this

Something said right before a person does something amazingly stupid.

In the military it takes a quantum leap. with high explosives, high performance aircraft and situations that will get you killed in a heartbeat.

along with "based on my experience" "I've made a decision" "trust me" and "watch this"

It reaches another level if the MFer is smiling, chuckling or laughting.
The most dangerous thing in the US Army is a warrant officer AH-64 Apache pilot chuckling and saying "watch this"

Artificial Brain

a smart phone, cell phone
esp for people under 40 years old

coolie

All the Indian Pakistani Bangladeshi types working for KBR in Iraq or Afghanistan. Some are really coolio and dream of the great 7-11 in the sky the USA, some hate the USA cause we pay them $5 a day. The ones in country work their asses off at laundry or cooking, but the ones in the bazaars are real rip off artists, swindling Joes, who miss the great PX in the sky Wal-Mart back home
The coolies in the DEFAC are great but the ones at the bazaar selling bootleg DVDs and trinket are real cocks.

pretty people

Someone who moves out West, usually the Northern Rockies, and wants to make it just like California or Michigan and not the U.P.! or Vermont. Liberal fucks who don't like hunting, logging or ranching. They think wolves are cute face licking puppies,,, not hamstringing demons who eat their prey alive. The use their money and lawyers like the Mafia uses pistols and knives, with the locals losing out. Drive Subarus, Saabs, Volvos.
How come we can't hunt elk on that ranch anymore?
Some pretty people bought it to raise llamas on.

Why is this bar so clean... and no more pickled eggs?
The pretty people eat their veggie burgers here now.

electronic ritalin

electronic devices given to children - I-pods, cell phones, DVDs in cars, X-Box, Play Station, Nintendo, etc - to keep them quiet & busy - can range from a blessing to a curse
"Honey, did you bring the electronic ritalin? This is going to be a twelve hour drive"

"Yes the boys picked out a dozen DVDs and brought their I-Phone chargers"

"Now we can discuss every life issue in privacy and fall in love again"

"What do we do when the DVDs run out? Listen to their stories and fall in love with them again"
