you're the boss

A thinly veiled threat which means "If you don't do what I want you to do, I will screw you over. But I'm not telling you what I want you to do."

Jose proceeded to gloat about all the dirt he said on me, and then he kept saying "you're the boss" at me, meaning if I didn't do what he wanted, he'd hurt me somehow.

be that as it may

A phrase used by someone who has been proved wrong with factual evidence. Instead of admitting their wrongness, they will simple reiterate the same argument and add "be that as it may" to suggest that they are compromising and admit some fault, but really don't feel any differently.

Person 1: I think your dog is shedding all over the couch

Person 2: Be that as it may, you still should vacuum it.

On the spectrum

A way for autistic people to identify as autistic. Comes from "autistic spectrum".

Mexican Insurance

Twenty dollar bills, so one can make change with all the Mexican people that buy everything with $100 bills, yes, even if they have twenties. Keeping twenties is insurance against the slowdown caused by having to get change for a $100 from someone else.

I saw a lot of Mexican families in line ready to mispronounce the name of the movie they wanted to see after taking 5 minutes standing in line to decide what that movie would be, so I made sure that I had plenty of Mexican Insurance on hand by keeping more twenties in my drawer.

Uhh, Steve

Coined by Brian "The Dark Lord" Chamberlain, AKA The DLC.

Originally it was used by the Dark Lord to complain about a ruling by the DM that caused him to say, not do nearly as much damage as he expected to in D&D.

Now it is more of a word generally used to question anything that seems illogical, out of place, ironic, or hypocritical.

Early Usage (Circa 2001-2003)

DLC: I cast LIGHTNING BOLT on the group of **name of monster we're fighting**!

*rolls a bunch of dice*
I do 32 Damage. Ahh...

Steve (DM): The lighting seems like it SHOULD have hurt them... but they don't appear hurt.

DLC: Uhh... Steve, **name of monsters** aren't immune to lightning spells... unless... oh CRAP! In PLAYER I know what we're fighting, but my character doesn't know! Dammit. *Arrogant look.*

Later example (2004-05)

Me: Max, a pound of feathers weighs less than a pound of bricks.

Max: Uhh, Steve... they're both a pound...

overlevel

To level your characters to the point where defeating the bosses takes absolutely no skill whatsoever. This is done in RPGs by unskilled players who avoid any challenge by spending a long time leveling on weak monsters instead of attempting the dungeons at a level that would prove at least somewhat challenging.

Lord Alex refused to go to the Floating Continent in Final Fantasy VI until he was level 40 and everyone had fully learned all the espers... that is more than overleveling!
