A gigantic squid-like creature that attacks the ships of any mortal foolish enough to wander into its domain. It originated in Norse mythology, but has become sailing lore and a unique aspect of popular culture regarding sailing ships.
Below the thunders of the upper deep,
Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea,
His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
About his shadowy sides; above him swell
Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
And far away into the sickly light,
From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
Unnumbered and enormous polypi
Winnow with giant arms the slumbering green.
There hath he lain for ages, and will lie
Battening upon huge sea worms in his sleep,
Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
Then once by man and angels to be seen,
In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

A yandere is a character, usually female, who harbors powerful affections for another person to the point of either being jealous, aggressive, controlling, or downright insane and violent to the point of killing anyone(usually also female) that looks at their supposed love interest. Typically used to refer to anime/manga characters, but there are similar cases in the real world. (at least according to 2chan)
Basically, a yandere is a word you should run away from really fast. You may not live long enough to run, but you will live long enough to try.

Having the mental capacity to understand something that's painfully obvious to anybody else and/or has overwhelming and undeniable evidence, but deliberately ignoring it for any number of reasons. Compare willful ignorance.
Jean was presented with mountains of evidence that her husband was cheating on her, and more-or-less covered her ears and went "LALALALALA." I swear, she's engaging in selective obliviousness.

Verb- To forcibly remove someone from a commercial vehicle in a way that causes facial injury and bleeding in the event of a lack of seating positions, as was the case in an incident on a United Airlines plane where an unfortunate doctor was dragged off the overbooked aircraft against his will. The term itself is easy to compare to'Newspeak' a la George Orwell.
Joe: Hey did you hear about that guy who got dragged off a bus?
Henry: They didn't drag him off, they had to 're-accommodate' him.
Henry: They didn't drag him off, they had to 're-accommodate' him.

Every adventurers worst nightmare. Protect your knees from the onslaught of arrows, or else you will become a city guard who won't help anyone because you'll think someone stole their sweet rolls.
Guard: I used to be an adventurer like you. Then I took an arrow-
Boromir: In the knee? Must have been awful.
Leonidas: Shut up. Both of you.
Boromir: In the knee? Must have been awful.
Leonidas: Shut up. Both of you.
