Pocky

Disgusting chocolate/strawberry sawdust on a stick, another byproduct of Japanese ingenuity and efficiency.

Hoarded widely by wapanese and asiaphiles.

Note: In approximately 2.857 seconds following the posting of this definition, a lynch mob of pasty white men would have assembled before my door in retaliation for my "treasonous assault" on "my" own race, for they cannot distinguish the differences between me, and other members of the so called "genetically superior asian supermen".
Japanese Pocko Executive: Johnno Armostrongo-San, what do we do with all this extra leftover sawdust from the logging ventures in China?

John Armstrong: Just condense it into chocolato-flavored twigos and sell it to the stupido Americanos.

Japanese Pocko Executive: Hahaha! You very smarto Armostrongo-San!

Meanwhile, back in a "Emerika" Ranch 99 Supermarket (the best place for imported asian goods)...

Wapanese: Nacho-Jizz flavored Pocky. Liek, OMG, !!!!111221111!!!??!!! SQUEEEE!

Japanese native (visitor to America): Kowaii baka... *shakes head*.

nerf

Usually in first person shooters and RPGs, when game developers think a weapon is far too powerful, and threatens the stability of the game, and weakens the aspects of that power drmatically to rebalance it.
When diablo 2 came out, everyone played either a necromancer or a barbarian. Now necromancers is nerfed to a point where its intolerably difficult to duel against other players without people just dodging your summoned minions and shove a axe into your face.

mainstream

A term used to describe when a "underground" genre of musical expression has been fully embraced by the public media through aggressive advertising (aka MTV). Following this phase, the style begins to rapidly plummet in popularity while the ravenous leeches and posers choose to find a new fad to gnaw upon.

During the "Golden Years" of a mainstream topic, the genre recieves praise in record numbers, often represented by record numbers of identity-free morons with nothing to make themselves "stand out". It gains brief immortality during this phase, with not enough love, and not enough hate to dislodge it.

Only when the "haters" prevail in larger numbers in proportion to fans will the death sentence of a genre be finalized.
Rap music still hasn't died because for a decade, it has worked secretly to poison the urban population with wife-beating lyrics and brain-damaging rhythmes, making a permanantly imprint on the inner-city folk.

Very devilish plan indeed...

Atkins diet

A marketing pitch used by Subway (like that 6g fat crap) and McDonalds to scam millions of judgement-lacking idiots into think a lard-packed, cheese stuffed, burrito or Subway Sandwich, with loads of mayonaise and unsalted butter topping it off will make them lose weight.
"Tonight, why not try our all new Atkins-approved supersized beef taco! With all of your favorite ingredients, barbeque sauces, mayonaise, excess poorly drained bacon, melted fatty-cheese residue from the dairy factory, and topped off with solid chunks of lard for that mmm mmm flavor!"

retirement home

The deathbed of old people. They check in, they never check out. Before they finally draw their last breath, they are required to live a life of incredible dullness, due to health complications of old folks.
"I'm 60 years old, nothing to do here but to play checkers and eat old corn cobblers, because ham hurts my teeth and bread clogs my arteries."

Heartbeat monitor goes dead...

open header

To have your car's engine run with the exhaust manifold bare, rendering it obnoxiously loud, according to rice boy standards.

Your general stock cars are by itself equipped with these items, that guide, muffle, and clean exhaust gases, as well as reduce performance by increasing backpressure:

Exhaust Manifold - A sturdy structure that covers the exit paths after your exhaust gases has left when the exhaust valve opens. It purpose is to collect exhaust gases so it can be either pumped with air to burn undercombusted hydrocarbons (provides no power, but better smog tests) via air injection, or further send down the tailpipe, where further methods are undertaken to quiet and clean the expanding exhaust gases.

Tailpipe - Narrow metal tube, that not only directs the exhaust gases to the back of the car (or to the sides), but because of its small diameter, slows the flow of gases, quieting the motor significantly (an a explosion for example is basically a loud expansion of gases). Slant eyed rice enthusiasts would take the hint, and install gigantic fart cans to their tailpipes to turn their tranquil hum of their civics into a vomit-inducing whine. Like they even need it anyways.

Muffler - As it's name states, it further "muffles" the sound of the still rapidly traveling exhaust gases by forcing it through a series of small intricate pipes.

Catalytic Converters - Helps burn excess uncombusted hydrocarbons that have unfortunately had not be burned up after introducing air into the exhaust manifolds (temperature still hot enough to ignite raw fuel), via air injectors operated by a air pump. Also, it helps get rid of Oxides of Nitrogen (Unuseable, unlike Nitrous Oxide), and changes carbon monoxide into less lethal, carbon dioxide. Catalytic converters reduce performance and sound just as much as mufflers, though if overworked (if your car has rich-fuel problems), it would glow and strain, melting the honeycomb like structures inside, further clogging the path in which exhaust can escape.

A obstructed path for exhaust gases to escape is very bad for engine performance, if nearly completed plugged, exhaust gases have nowhere to go but back into the combustion chamber, causing the motor to run terribly, or stall.

The idea of running your car, preferably a hot rod open header, is to increase performance, lessen the strain on the engine, make it sound louder and more macho, as well as to impress your friends.

Unless your attending a open header contest with other like gearheads, removing any of the above components is ILLEGAL as stated by the DMV. But at least this definition gives you something about exhaust and performance.
"Bling a Ding Chong" thought that by sawing off his catalytic converter on his slick green rice rocket, he can beat Mary Anne on her pink 72 Chevelle. But instead, he serves jailtime with fellow burly prison rapist Tyrone Smith after flipping off a police officer.

free speech

The reason why that mostly 95% of the internet community are retarded, could barely type coherantly, or submit poor or completely irrelevant definitions to UrbanDictionary.com, thus transforming this site into a rudimentary flamefest.
When I typed in the definition of "gay" in the search box, I found results submitted by forum geeks defining the newest "n00b" who posted something in their "l33t" forum. Free speech on the web has gone too far!
