News Feed

Pretty much the central feature of Facebook. Like the name says, it notifies the user of any activity his or her friends do on the site, from new photo albums to wall posts to status updates and comments to them. It debuted on September 1, 2006 and created a considerable controversy due to privacy concerns. Later on updates included a mini-feed on one's profile that shows all stories pertaining to just that person.

Intergalactic Travel

The travel between galaxies - which is considered complete and utter science fiction given the incredible distances. Even light will take 2.5 million years to reach our nearest galaxy.
Intergalactic travel, even to our nearest galaxy, would mean a minimum distance of 23,700 million million million meters away making it cleanly impossible.

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.

Interplanetary Travel

Travelling between the eight planets in our solar system. We've reached every one by unmanned probes but all we've been able to take a human to is our moon.
NASA is planning to send humans on an Interplanetary Travel mission to Mars by 2020, but it looks like we have too many problems on Earth to deal with first.

Belvedere

A make of luxury car by Plymouth from 1951 to 1970. It was best known for its two tailfins in the rear.

A 1957 model was buried brand new beneath the Tulsa Courthouse in Oklahoma and was unveiled in 2007 exactly 50 years to the date it was buried. However, it was heavily rusted from water that seeped into the vault and all that was intact were items held in a sealed cylindrical capsule.

Digital feces

Slang term for when a video game has such poor graphics or collision detection it is as pleasant for the eye as looking at actual human feces.
Games like Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, and Hour of Victory are such a disgrace to look at and involve so much going through walls and obstructions that it is pretty much digital feces.

Crimson Omen

The name of the logo in the Xbox 360 hit Gears of War. It consists of a blood-covered skull incased within a blood-covered COG (Coalition of Ordered Governments) logo. These appear in the single player mode wherever a COG tag is to be found, as well as in multiplayer as a health meter (the more apparent the symbol appears on the screen, the closer you are to being downed).
The Gears of War icon that appears on your Gamercard showing you played the game is the Crimson Omen.
