Scatch

Share definition
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.
Look at those two kids over there, their Scatch isn't working either!

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"
Welcome to your new job Sir, here we use Lotus Notes...Sir, why are you running away? Sir...Sir!!!

Nathan: Did you watch the American football last night?

Lawrence: Is that the sport where men of questionable sexuality covered in plastic jump on top of each other.

Nathan: Yeah, apparently they throw a 'ball' around as some sort of cover for the whole thing.

tom cruise

Share definition
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!

bang in your face

Used by Radio 1 (UK) DJ Tim Westwood (see wigger). The phrase is used to denote a track or compilation of tracks that Mr Westwood believes you may enjoy. The phrase, along with others are most commonly shouted in an over exaggerated manner.

Alternative to Big ups. A phrase used when a only a small, but still relevant amount of respect is due or when trying to keep a big up concealed from another person. Most effective when used in conjunction a sly low-five or a knowing nod of the head.

Can also be used as sarcasm upon hearing news from someone who thought their achievement would command more respect than it was realistically worth.
Hey Dan, I merk'd John at Pro Evo the other day,

wow, little-ups to that bro!
