Darth Ridley's definitions

steve jobs

An evil bastard and CEO of Apple Computers.

Bill Gates is in the process of giving 85% of his fortunate to charity. Linus Torvalds single-handedly invented Linux, and made it free and open-source. Jobs has done neither of these things.

When Jobs' own company, NeXt, failed miserably, he returned to Apple as CEO. At the time, several other companies were manufacturing MacOS-compatible computers; Jobs revoked their licenses. He also put the kibosh on a project to develop a PC-compatible version of MacOS, the result of both of these actions being that if you want to use MacOS, you have to buy a Mac.

If it wasn't for Steve Jobs, more people would use MacOS because they wouldn't have to spend lots of money on a computer they can't modify and isn't compatible with lots of peripherals.

If I had a Death Note, I would write 'Steve Jobs - death by diarrhoea' in it.

dick lit

Basically, the male equivalent of chick lit. Books aimed at young men, typically with lots of action, adventure, and explosions.

The works of Tom Clancy, Michael Crichton, and Robert Ludlum would probably be considered dick lit, though plenty of older men like these guys a lot too.

dude that's just wrong

My friend, what you have just said is very strange and disturbing, in a bad way. I think you may require psychiatric help.

Bob: Everyone describe their ultimate sexual fantasy!
Fred: I want to be fucked by two dickgirls.
Sean: I wanna shag a dog.
Bob: Threesome with Victoria Beckham and Cher
Sean: Dude that's just wrong.
