Kiryas Joel

A purely Hasidic Jew community in Orange County, New York. Given that the women have prolific amounts of children and don't work after giving birth to their second child the town is among the poorest in the United States.
Poverty, strict religion, and beards, all in one: Kiryas Joel.

ACDC

A lousy Grade Point Average of 2.25 for four courses, consisting of an A, two C's, and a D. If this is your norm, don't plan on going to grad school, or else you'll be taking the HI-GHWAY TO HELL!
Btw, my grades totally suck this semester, an A a C and a D. If I had another class and got a C in it id have ACDC lol. My A was in Computer Repair of course.

Flunked in

(slang) - To be stuck at a university because your grades are too low for any desirable school to want to take you as a transfer student. Not to be confused with flunking out, since you are still at the school. However, many students who flunk in eventually flunk out, and most students who have flunked out flunked in first.
With a 1.75 GPA and not liking the environment he was in, Louis applied to a few other schools he wanted to transfer to. Since he was rejected from all of them, it's a safe bet he's flunked in.

F5

A slang term for the Refresh button on a web browser. Almost, if not every web browser ever produced has made F5 as the hotkey for "refresh".
A young 12-year old vandalizes the George W. Bush on Wikipedia. Just to see how long his work stays before reversion, he keeps F5'ing hoping that each time he hits it the article won't be reverted.

Interstellar Travel

Travel between star systems - which may someday be do-able but given that even our closest star is 4.6 light years away it is something that will require technology and resources that we can only dream of by today's standards.

It is also a very big subject in science fiction; the rapid transit between star systems by faster-than-light travel; Star Trek, Star Wars, and Mass Effect are examples.
While Voyager 1 is technically making interstellar travel, at the rate it is going, it will take more than 72,000 years from now to do so.

Fix or Repair Daily

A derogatory phrase regarding the ailing American car company Ford, in which the word compacted into an acronym spells, yes, Ford.
