Sherman Tank

The epitome of down-to-earth, rugged, and masculine design. If something is "built like a Sherman" then it pays infinitely more attention to functionality and die-hard components than something as useless as aesthetic design or nifty features.

I just got this safe. It's built like a goddamn Sherman tank! All it has is a dial, a handle, and one tough-ass casing, no air-cooled inner pockets or any of that bull.

crank up

To start something. Derived from the method of starting an old-timey car that literally had to be "cranked up" before it could be run.

Make sure the pool isn't too cold before I bother to crank up the heater.

bashbaiter

Someone who submits quotes to www.bash.org that never actually took place. These logs usually contain the bashbaiter's name as the author. Some popular topics for bashbaiting are quotes from comedians that have been turned into typical IRC sentences, funny scenarios the author invented, and modified conversations to be much funnier.

They do this to get their name out as a funny person and to get the most votes.

guy: hey, check out bash.org!
(everyone looks)
dude: i never said that, you damn bashbaiter.

maxigame

This is something game developers shoot out their ass as a replacement for "minigame". Don't be fooled, they're the same damn thing.

Arena challenges in Ratchet and Clank 2 and 3 are maxigames!

four letter word

Phrase that refers to any number of "bad" words, often seen in forum posts. Can mean shit, fuck, damn, and even other non-four-lettered-words such as ass and bitch. Can also refer to the basic four letter words with suffixes (ie "ed" "ing"). Usually said by some religious freak or ten year old that will get in trouble if their parents see it.

Poster 1
Damn man, that shit is fucking awesome! That bitch totally deserved it!

Poster 2
I could've understood what you were saying without all the four letter words...

<flame war against poster 2 ensues>
