Major Tom

A person who cannot hear you, no matter how many times you repeat their name. The term is derived from the song Space Oddity.
Person 1: "Can you hear me Major Tom?"
Person 2: "Yes, I can hear you!"

Big Bang

A cosmological model for the Universe, describing an event billions of years ago that allowed for the existence of atoms and life. It is commonly misunderstood by ignorant people who think it began at a single point in space, appeared out of nowhere or was an explosion.

The Big Bang actually refers to a point in the Universe when it was extremely dense, but infinitely large. About 13.8 billion years ago, matter in the Universe was much closer together and space was mostly filled with an opaque plasma of light and electrons (the Photon Era). As a result, everything was unimaginably hot, and some scientists think that this heat led objects to move away from each other (hotter things expand).

While there may have been infinite matter, there is even more space through which objects can move apart. This allowed matter to continue moving away from other matter and, as a result of the expansion, the Universe began to cool down. Atoms were able to form and eventually stars and galaxies followed. In essence, one can say the Big Bang occurred everywhere; all matter moved away from each other in the tightly packed Universe.
Ignoramus: the big bang was impossible, matter can't explode from nothing!1!
Scientist: Ugh...

What you ask other people when you hear something so stupid, you cannot properly comprehend it

Me: Is this guy for real?

Positron

The antimatter equivalent of an electron. It has the same mass as an electron, but opposite charge (positive). Both electrons and positrons are created by photons through a process called pair production. Positrons are sometimes called "antielectrons".
When a positron and electron orbit one another, they make positronium before annihilating shortly after. A positronium atom can bond with hydrogen to make positronium hydride, or with another positronium atom to make di-positronium.

Urban Dictionaming

When someone adds their own (or another person's) name to Urban Dictionary, either to flatter said person or to insult them. Urban Dictionamers don't realize that no one will read or care about these definitions. In the end, this is just extremely irritating and fills up the voting list (although I doubt the site's moderators will care enough to stop it).
60% of submitted terms are just people Urban Dictionaming themselves.
