First used in popular culture in the 1980's film Style Wars. The term is used to describe a move or an action such as one in breakdancing that looks impressive to the untrained eye but is not actually difficult to execute.

A fat persons hand upon making a fist. Because of the excess fat around the hands, knuckles are not defined. This means the fist is blob like and sometimes they have small dimples where pronounced knuckles can be found on the hand of a person of average build. This gives the appearence of a childs sculpting of a hand from child friendly Playdo modelling clay.
Having Playdo fists restricts the owners ability to deliver an effective punch if needed.

A piece of crap email and data base client server. It has millions of user throughout the world, however you won't find anybody who considers it easy to use.
Interfaces are difficult to navigate and the programme often crashes or stays hanging, requiring the user to restart the application or completely reboot the computer. It is characterised by ugly colour schemes and unecessarily tedious command requirements to carry out simple tasks. Want to see an email attachment with just 2 mouse clicks? Forget it. The use of Lotus Notes is scientifically linked to rage disorders.
As one website puts it, it is "the digital equivalent of being kicked in the groin upon arrival at work every day"

Composite of 'chrity' and 'mugger'. These people will stop you in the street and talk to you as if they are your oldest and best friend. All of which is a false cover for their real intention. Working on commission, they need people to donate to the charities which they 'represent' and to do this they will guilt trip you into handing over all your details.
One effective way of giving to the charity, yet not being conned into surrendering your card details and other sensitive information is to request the address and contact details of the charities head office and offer to make a direct payment. This will annoy the chugger as it cuts them out of the equation but you will have the upper hand. Otherwise try to think of a quirky reply to their begging for which they will have no answer or look straight through them.

Chugger: Do you like children?
Me: Yes, but I couldn't eat a whole one.
Chugger: (silence and look of shock)

4ft 2' tall actor brainwashed into scientology. His film characters have a continuing theme that can be broken down into 3 clearly identifiable segments:
1)Beginning - He is the best at what he does (such as flying planes or driving cars)
2)Middle - Has a crisis of confidence (such as a friend dying) but meets love interest who helps him.
3)Ending - Pulls through it and returns to being the best at what he does (such as being a pilot).
Tom Cuise is now perhaps most famous for his sham marriage to Katie Holmes and being a couch jumping Scientologist who doesn't like being squirted with water.

Richard: I saw a Tom Cruise film last night
James: Which one?
Richard: I can't remember exactly, it started with him being the best at what he did, he had a crisis of confidence, but pulled through it in the end.
James: Well that doesn't narrow it down at all!
Richard: Y-You're a jerk, you're a jerk!

A sub-standard beach game involving two small round velcro pads strapped flat against the palm of the hand and a fluffy tennis ball. It took the British beach holiday by storm in the nineties until it's flaws came to light. These being that the pads were useless if they came into contact with sand and the ball likewise with water. There were many children left dissapointed with Scatch, I was one of them.

To drive a vehicle fitted with large (and usually ridiculous looking) alloy wheels. Rock stars and footballers proudly roll on some of the biggest dubs that often have spinning centres that automatically make them look like retards.
Matt, I saw Joe Cole in his car yesterday.
Was he rolling on dubs?
Yeah, he looked like a total knob.
