Khan Academy
Dunno what everyone else here is on about. Khan Academy is a cool dude who makes useful math videos and probably does a better job at explaining stuff than your boring high school math teacher. Otherwise, why would you be watching him?
It's actually quite ironic if you think about it, a few years ago people are praising him as a better alternative to your crappy math teacher, now people are shitting on the dude that provides FREE math tutorials. Sure, he might take longer to explain things, but the fact that he takes his time, as well as having an optimistic tone of voice, means that he genuinely cares about you and the subject. Beats having some teacher who reads directly from the text with his unenthusiastic monotone voice.
P.S. To the person who's complaining about color switching, uhh seriously?? He does this to make it more easier to read, it's called color coding, duh.

People in 2014: Woooo thanks Khan Academy, you made me pass my AP calculus test!
People in 2020: Ughhh I hate Khan Academy, he makes math so tedious!
Me: lol

My body is a temple
It's a metaphor for saying that one's body is sacred, and so one should treat it well and with respect, as you would to a sacred temple.
The phrase is usually used to justify one's sense of self-respect (dignity), and to express their discontent towards lending their body for other people's gain (or for monetary gains).

Example 1:
Cheeky guy: Hey beautiful, your body is so enticing, you should totally become a model for some magazine 😍
Her: Nah, my body is a temple, I prefer to keep it clean thank you.
Example 2:
Girl friend 1: Hey why are you taking pictures of your feet?
Girl friend 2: Oh it's for only OnlyFans followers, they pay big bucks to see my feet! You should totally join too and we can make cash together!
Girl friend 1: No thanks, my body is a temple.

Technological edging
Technological edging is the broad concept of intentionally delaying the practical use or possession of a technology in order to capitalize on potential new and better innovations of the technology. The term 'edging' brazenly refers to the sexual act of edging, meaning to delay orgasm in order to achieve a more satisfying ending.
Specifically, technological edging could mean holding out on buying a new smartphone or PC, even if you desperately need one, in order to capitalize on next year's advancements in consumer tech. In other words, people delay buying in order to not feel sad when the next best tech comes out, so they might as well wait for another year.
Technological edging can also apply to much bigger and broader ultimate goals, such as delaying future space exploration (on mars, the moon, etc.) in order to capitalize on the future impending innovations of science and technology. Such a move, in one's opinion, may be the wiser option.

Example 1
Friend 1: Omg the new Galaxy S20 looks dope! Are you gonna get it?
Friend 2: Nope, I'm practicing technological edging rn. I wanna delay getting a new phone so I won't complain about the next new phone being better than it. I already have the Galaxy S9 and it's still going well so.
Example 2
The postponement of Trump's plan for sending astronauts to the Moon might seem disappointing at first, but hey, at least scientists can technological edge it and benefit from potential new breakthroughs in their space tech.

Anti-masker
Anti-maskers are the new anti-vaxxers. They are a new, more resilient breed of stupid that comes in swarms.
Anti-maskers are atypical in that they hold the deluded belief that wearing masks during a global pandemic are somehow an infringement on their "individual freedoms".
This is like saying there is a school shooter on the loose, and everybody in the school is forced to remain silent and hidden, but one student does not remain silent for the sole reason that it is infringing on their freedom of speech. It doesn't take a wise guy to see the ridiculousness in this way of thinking.
As with anti-vaxxers, flat-earthers, scientologists, climate change naysayers, etc etc, anti-maskers often resort to twisted logic, cherry picking, confirmation bias, belief perseverance, egocentric bias, and any other bias/fallacy to curb their cognitive dissonance and defend their faulty reasoning.
They do not get that mask wearing isn't just about protecting oneself, but about protecting others. Therefore in order to flatten the curve, everybody must cooperate.
Hopefully natural selection will get the best of them.

News on City TV: Hundreds of protesters gathered downtown for most of the afternoon on Saturday, calling for an end to the COVID-19 lockdown measures. The group of anti-maskers were carrying signs and shouting slogans, and caused traffic slow downs. Calling themselves ‘freedom fighters’, they say they are defending their constitutional rights and freedoms.

Yagami Yato
Noun.
Porn produced and directed solely by women that are as hot as the pornstars themselves. This is in contrast to a typical male-run porn studio, where the director and cameraman are, well, men. So when watch you a Yagami Yato, you know that you're jerking off to beautiful women, both on camera and off camera.
(P.S. Porn can include both real-life and hentai)
Verb.
To watch and fap to porn produced and directed solely by women.

An enlightened carl wheezer: Yagami Yato bitch!

Bro 2: You that thirsty eh?

9th grade
Contrary to what many will think, 9th grade was the start of a brand new school life and identity. It was the grade of redemption, where you can make new and better friends, and where you finally have a chance to make better first impressions. If you were unpopular or were a loner back in middle/elementary school, then this definition applies greatly to you.
Just think about it. Now that you are in a huge school made up of 5 different middle schools (and 10+ different elementary schools), now you have another opportunity to introduce yourself in a different manner than before.
Maybe you were an awkward person, had low self-esteem, or were a 'tag-along', and your past classmates therefore thought lowly of you. This time, you can 'right your wrongs' and become that person you've always aspired to be in front of your new peers.
Of course, there's a good chance you'll meet some old classmates again in your courses, but don't let that stop you. Your new peers are what matters the most.
Remember, how you act in this grade will define you in the coming 4 years, so carefully premeditate your first impressions!

Old high school peer: Remember 9th grade? I hated it.
Me: Are you kidding? 9th grade was the shit! Made so many new friends in that year, and I gave off a more sociable and confident demeanor compared to my awkward middle school years. Sure, it may be harder than 8th grade, but compared to 10, 11, 12 it was a breeze! It really all depends on how you look at it.
