you big nasty

Phrase commonly used by pre-pubescent or pubescent boys directed to girls of the same age or older, usually in the Oak Cliff area. It fulfills the boy's need to communicate with a girl, without them actually having to hold a conversation. Said in the proper accent, the phrase is quite amusing. It was first used by Austin Russel, but spread like wildfire when the 8th grade girls began chasing him after saying these three simple words. One does not have to say or do anything "nasty" to be called "a big nasty."
Jackie: Austin you have a squirrel on your leg.

Austin: You big nasty!

CD player

A mechanical device used to play music CDs. Recently, their numbers have been diminishing as the population of ipods and mp3 players grow. These digital music devices may be awesome, but CD players will always be a classic (but not a big of a classic as casset/tape players, because those are REALLY a classic when it comes to portable music devices). When used during school, teachers often take them up, even though there is scientific evidence that music aids in the learning process (i think).
Jennifer: Hey, do you have your CD player with you? I wanna listen to that Oasis CD.

Hannah: Naw, Mr. Williams took it up during 3rd period.

Jennifer: Man, that sucks.
