Excel

Part of the Microsoft Office Suite, Excel is a spreadsheet program that basically resembles a paper ledger sheet, or a giant table. Unlike paper, Excel makes your job easier by removing the need for erasers or calculators! It definitely makes number manipulation almost painless.

That's a Rip

A rip is when someone says or does something that turns out to be wrong. When they do, you can say "That's a rip."

Depending on how it works in your area, you can also inflict pain to the people who got ripped.

Joe: John's in the steakhouse, I swear!
*John walks out of a supermarket*
David: ...That's a rip.

Game Crazy

A store devoted to selling video games, consoles, and accessories. Usually found next to a Hollywood Video, Game Crazy sells XBox, Playstation 2, Gamecube, Gameboy Advance, and Nintendo DS games, and will even do trade-ins. It also sometimes offers promotions or competitions.

Similar to GameStop, it may be managed by asshole employees who don't know anything about games, and may have a female employee in there for no apparent reason. But, of course, that depends on which Game Crazy you shop in, as some manage their stores better than others.

Guy 1: Yo dude, wanna head over to GameStop so we can grab a copy of San Andreas?
Guy 2: Nah man, GameStop sucks, let's go to Game Crazy.
Guy 1: Alright, but let's go to the one in the other city, the Game Crazy in this city has this one guy who doesn't know a damn thing about games.

y1k

A joke used on Alabama, during "Weekend Update with Colin Quinn", a segment on Saturday Night Live on 11/13/99.

"The report also noted that, in terms of Y2K readiness, Alabama is the nation's least prepared state. Alabama authorities, however, insist that they'll get to the Y2K problem as soon as they address the state's long-standing Y1K difficulties."
