Commonly abreviated as AP, the Associated Press is an American news agency run by the media sources that contribute to it. It is the largest news agency in the world and has subscribers (people who pay a fee to use AP's material) in almost every free-market economy nation in the world.
The AP is made up of almost 2,000 American newspapers and about 5,000 TV/radio stations while its photo library has exceeded 10 million pictures of news.
Although the AP tries to remain unbiased some occasional yellow journalism and personal biases are included in media information.

I couldn't help but notice that almost every article about a national event was writen by the Associated Press in today's newspaper.

This is a term derived from the Skittles catchline "Taste the rainbow". To shoot the rainbow you must have Skittles-infused vodka and you must take consecutive shots of each of the 5 flavors (normally Skittles vodka requires separation of the different colors, otherwise you just get disgustingly sweet vodka). Some people use various color orders when shooting the rainbow but the most common order goes red (strawberry), orange (WTF do you think the flavor is if the thing's color is "orange"?), yellow (lemon), green (lime) and lastly purple (grape). Sometimes red and yellow are switched so that the order goes by color depth or some people just by their own taste.
The bartender last night said that they had made a lot of Skittles-infused vodka and recommended that we shoot the rainbow. He might as well have been selling crack since we all got 2 rounds of 5 shots and wanted more!

Flotsam is a term used by year-round residents of Cape Cod MA to describe people who come up to the Cape only for the summer. It is said that on the Cape that "For every piece of real flotsam here we have 100 summer flotsams to equal that." It's a typical Natives vs. Anything-but-Natives arguement.

Since a bogey is a single cigarette a double bogey usually means chain smoking or smoking 2 cigarettes in a short amount of time but it can also be used to describe a 100's version of a cigarette, a blunt/joint or a cigar. Double bogey is almost never used to reference pipe-based smoking things like bongs or hookah.

The White Screen of Death is any screen with a white background that appears on an iPod when it is broken beyond repair. These screens are usually accompanied by a face with red X's for eyes and a frowny face and says something like "Please go to apple.com/support for assistance".
A white screen of death is almost guarenteed after dropping an iPod (along with a cracked screen), dropping the iPod in water, someone steps on the iPod or the stars align in such a way that your iPod just suddenly doesn't work for no apparent reason. This is linked to the Blue Screen of Death in old Windows computers and also the Red Ring of Death in XBox 360's.
