Yahoo! Answers is a question & answer website run by Yahoo! with a specific point system unique to the site.
There are 7 different levels which are used to guage a person's usage of the site. About a year ago they actually meant something but now once you're at level 5 on the site you're as far as you can go.
There have been countless complaints directed at Yahoo! Answers and Yahoo! Customer Care for "wrongful violations" in which case trolls, spammers or personal haters would use the user-abuse-reporting tool excessively in which most cases they were automatically processed resulting in Q&A being taken down and even entire deletion of Yahoo! accounts. My personal advice from use of the site: don't use Answers and have your primary email on the same Yahoo! ID, bad idea.

Get the Yahoo! Answers mug.The Rent is a nickname for Rentschler Field, a stadium in East Hartford, CT.
The Rent is home to the UConn Huskies football team. During the summer the stadium holds concerts which are typically sold out. Famous acts who have performed at the Rent include The Rolling Stones, The Police and Bruce Springsteen. The stadium has also hosts major soccer matches but these matches have always been simply qualifying matches, not championship matches.
The stadium sits on and old Pratt & Whitney airfield strip and still has the original runway in place. Parking for the Rent goes up and down the runway and in some cases fans have to walk literally miles to get to the stadium. In 2007 Cabela's, an outdoor supplies company, opened up on the same P&W property.

Football fan: Hey, want to go the the UConn / Rutgers game this Saturday at the Rent?
Other fan: Sure, but that UConn / USF game 2 weeks ago was brutal! We walked the whole runway in a downpour!

Get the holidrawl mug.The Beer-Liquor Rule is a guideline for alcohol consumption that goes like this:
"Liquor before beer, nothing to fear. Beer before liquor, never been sicker."
The placement of the 2 relationships doesn't matter whether one's before the other, as several drunks have argued it as long as they rhyme you've got the idea of the Rule.

Get the Beer-Liquor Rule mug.The Green Monster is the famous/infamous wall in left field of Fenway Park, home of MLB team the Boston Red Sox (why they still can't spell SOCKS right after almost 100 year now is beyond me).
The Green Monster is appropriately named at 37 feet or 11 meters high with its coat of green paint. The wall can be a make-or-break for entire games and even seasons due to the funny way balls bounce off of it and how left fielders play the bounce. Sox left fielders from Carl Yastrzemski to present-day player Manny Ramirez have learned how to play balls off the Monster and have therefore converted some amazing plays.

The view from the seats on top of the Green Monster was amazing but the best part of all was all the balls that were hit up there during batting practice, by the end of it there's about a ball per person up there.

Get the Green Monster mug.Bashing and trash-talk that will eventually get you fired, kicked out or somehow evicted which was initiated by the person who ends up packing up. Refers to Manny Ramirez and his eviction from the Boston Red Sox to the Los Angeles Dodgers.
