73 definition by Lady Chevalier

John Wayne. The ultimate gunslinging star of the Western, and one of the greatest men ever to live.

He played the same character in every movie he was ever in. Calm, rugged--a real man with a gun and a heart. He never changed, and that's why we love him. You always knew where you stood with John Wayne.

The only value in filthy, disgusting, violent, or obscene materials in the media (television shows, movies, online forums, etc.). Ironically, these things have become so common that even the shock value is gone, leaving their existence pointless and the masses desensitised (or disgusted).

The reason half the definitions on UD exist.
You can't show that on television! Oh, wait, nevermind.

Verb, "to be excellent." Used to express great approval or joy.

Commonly applied to people, events, and objects, but rarely locations.

It is frequently preceded by the adverb totally, and may be used with or without the terminal preposition.

Similar to rock my face off, but with a dorkier twist.

Online usage note: phrase must be accompanied by some form of caps lock.
Megan! AWESOME! You totally rock my socks!

Caesar: Napoleon Dynamite sucked... like a leech.
Cleopatra: Are you kidding me? That movie totally rocked my SOCKS off!

Having free laundry at my dorm rocks my socks off.
However, the laundry room itself is a location; ergo, it does not rock my socks. :(

Used to point out or emphasise silence. (Well, not precisely silence, since chirping crickets make sound. But you get it.)

The idea is that you can only hear crickets when there are no other sounds, such as conversation or laughter. Often used to denote the awkward pause after a bad joke.
Joe: What's the sound of two drums and a cymbal falling over a cliff?
Ted: *tiredly* I don't know, Joe. What is the sound of two drums and a cymbal falling over a cliff?
Joe: baDUM-ksh!

*crickets chirp*

Joe: ...Oh, come on. That was funny.

"You're a wuss. Learn to deal."

An elaborated version of the sentiment is found in the phrasing: "Let me get you a straw so you can SUCK IT UP."

The proffering of a straw to aid "sucking up" abilities is generally considered more comical (read: obnoxious) than simply telling a whiner to deal.

Can be used in any situation.
*a minor chainsaw incident occurs*

Bob: Um, could you call 911 for me?
Frank: Do it yourself.
Bob: ...I don't have "hands" anymore.
Frank: How about this? I'll get you a straw so you can SUCK IT UP.
