Yahoo! Answers

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.
Oh well, I just got kicked off Yahoo! Answers for the 20th time today, I'll just go and open a new account since I'm not IP banned.

My girlfriend gave it to me

The excuse used when you're wearing something completely ridiculous that you would never wear if you had a say in the matter.

For girls this can be expressed as "My boyfriend gave it to me" or however you need to use it.
Friend: What's with the turtle neck, wool, brightly colored Christmas sweater?
Me: My girlfriend gave it to me.

hang around

A "hang around" is the first of various levels of membership in the Hells Angels biker gang.

A hang around is described as friendly to the organization but is not an actual member yet. They typically go to parties, buy the t-shirts and try to make contacts within the organization to help boost their membership level. Hang arounds also ride with the group whenever there is a ride but otherwise they don't get involved in the organization; they never hold offices within the group and they typically do not participate in extreme group activities such as retaliation or gun trafficking.
Matt's become a hang around after he met a small Hells Angels group at the bar last month.

USAMRIID

USAMRIID (pronounced you-sam-rid) stands for the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases.

Based at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland, the facilities of USAMRIID are used primarily for research on counter measurements for biological warfare. Along with the next-door National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) and the nearby United States Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) they handle many of the biological threats that come up in regards to national defense. When a new infectious agent or biological threat comes up they are on the case to have the data on file regarding any incident that, again, may eventually pertain to national biological defense.

USAMRIID was featured in Richard Preston's best-selling book "The Hot Zone" which described the outbreak of the then-undiscovered Ebola Reston (which was discovered in Reston, Virginia but was not discovered by Preston since people say if you take off the P in Preston you have "reston" left). The book describes the events of decontamination of medical research facilities used to store imported monkeys from the Philippines. It was then discovered that Ebola Reston can't be caught by humans but the same virus has a 90% fatality rate in primates.
I had never heard of USAMRIID before until I read Richard Preston's "The Hot Zone".

Rape bait

Rape bait is any kind of super sparkily or glittery dress or blouse worn by girls with either a very short dress or skirt of any kind. The shiny aspect is like a shiny fish lure and instead of worm or squid for bait the girl wearing the outfit is the bait. Wearing heals (especially anything over 3.5") or hoop earnings makes the girl more susceptible just like adding bright colors and feathers to a fish lure make the bait more enticing.
Look at that rape bait across the street. I'm surpising she's made it this far coming all the way from that BU party.
