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.

Get the fairy flying mug.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"

Get the lotus notes mug.To presume that an actor or actress will assume a character akin to that for which they have previously become famous. A good example is Matt Le Blanc. Having become so famous for his laid back, butt of all jokes character Joey in the tired US comedy Friends, it becomes hard to take him seriously in any other type of role.
Mike: Shall we rent 'Lost in Space'?
James: (hysterical laughter) Look, it's Joey on the cover trying to look hard!
Mike: Yeah, I guess he has been type cast

Get the type cast mug.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.

Get the american football mug.A chain of pubs throughouth Britain that act as a magnet for chavs and minors. Invariably centre stage for all fighting due to the lack of entertainment allowing low priced alcohol and thus large concentrations of both men and women that enjoy violence.

Get the Wetherspoons mug.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)
Me: Yes, but I couldn't eat a whole one.

Get the chugger mug.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.
This album is full of the latest licks and big hip-hop things. This album will BANG IN YOUR FACE!!!!!
