Gen. Burnsides

Randy: wtf?

SP

n. Suspicious package. This is something that the citizens of Israel are all too familiar with. Unfortunately, it has also recently been added to the vernacular of the Americans and British. May G-d smite the terrorist heathen once and for all!

If you see an SP, immediately notify a police officer in close proximity.

pedestrian face-off

An awkward situation in which two pedestrians, who are on a collision course with each other, are repeatedly unsuccessful in averting one another. As one person moves to their right, the other person moves to their left and vice versa. Each time they attempt a new maneuver, the frustrated pedestrians find themselves confronted by their counterpart. To the casual observer, these two people may appear to be dancing, but in reality, they both just want to get on with their lives.

These encounters are far less common in Europe – especially in Germany, where the government enforces pedestrian decorum through a stringent "bear right" policy. Pedestrian face-offs have been known to last upwards of ten seconds.

Randy: I just had a pedestrian face-off that lasted a good 15 seconds. In the end, we came to the mutual agreement that both of us should step to our right.
Dina: Wow, 15 seconds?! That's gotta be a world record or something.

webbreviation

n. Short for "web abbreviation." These internet acronyms either contribute to our rich online culture or expedite the demise of intellectual civilization (depending on who you ask). Some popular webbreviations include lol, brb, ttyl, btw & idk.

Steve: How would I look in a cape?
Randy: idk
Steve: Whatever. I'll never be able to pull it off as well as Dina anyway.
Randy: lol
Steve: Randy, stop that!
Randy: Stop what?
Steve: You've gotta be the only loser who uses webbreviations when chatting in person.
