white house

A structure in Washington DC which was never reached by Canadian forces, as they were destroyed at the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain. It was burnt by British forces in the War of 1812, but a rainstorm dosed the flames.

The President lives in the White House during his term.

ice cream truck

A vehicle that resonates annoying, repeatitive music throughout your neighborhood for about an hour. If you're unlucky enough to live near the projects, you even get the honor of listening to the same theme (or a slightly remixed version) resonating while you are trying to take a nap, or god forbid, sleeping after working a graveyard shift, about 3 different times a day.
When I was a kid, we had to walk to the ice cream palor. Now, we get to listen to a loud and annoying theme blare through our windows while we are trying to nap, watch a movie, or have sex, in the comfort of our own homes. THANK YOU MOMS OF AMERICA!

window

1) A sheet usually made of a clear material, such as glass, that is used to allow sight and occasional air flow, while otherwise retaining the characteristics of a wall.

2) When getting into a car, calling 'window' is required if there are more than four people. Usually, one person will call shotgun, then the next two will quickly call window. Calling the window behind the driver is also wise, as the driver is usually closer to the wheel than the passanger, thus, more leg room. The person who hesitates the most ends up bitch.
1) It was getting hot, so I opened up the window.

2) Shotgun was already called, so I quickly called window so I wouldn't get stuck sitting bitch.

Death of Nintendo

Nintendo gaming consoles were, for a very long period of time, the monopoly of the gaming industry. However, advances in PC gaming technology, as well as the intergration of the failing Sega company into the growing Sony Playstation market, and the introduction of Microsoft's X-Box, have proven to be potent in a market which Nintendo has been unable to succeed in the past decade... the adolescent market.

Nintendo's marketing strategy consists of gearing itself towards younger gamers, which more child-like titles, while at the same time attempting to win back it's nostalgia fanbase with remakes of classics such as Zelda and Metroid. Unfortunately, in the face of powerhouses such as the GTA series, Halo, and PC titles like Half-Life and pretty much any game Blizzard makes, Nintendo has been unable to compete with Sony and Microsoft.

This has lead to what some people believe the Nintendo Gamecube being the last Nintendo system (much like Sega's Dreamcast). The opposition to this are, the aforementioned 'nostalgia' gamers, who during the late 80's earlier 90's, instead of actually studying in school or working and getting money, played 'The Last Great Console' (NES or SNES, depending on what moron you ask) all day, and are now 30 year old males sitting in their parent's basement longing for the 'good ol days' when game challenges consist of whether or not Mario was going to move the direction you told him to.

Nintendo's latest marketing ploy is the DS, in an attempt to winback the handheld gaming industry in which it has dominated with it's Gameboy. However, heavy advertising and anticipation for Sony's PSP prove to be more than a match for Nintendo.

The 80's are over people. MJ is a pedophile, Alf went back to his planet, and Nintendo is a has-been gaming company.
Nowadays, whenever I visit a friends house, and the idea of playing video games come up, it's either Halo 2, GTA:SA, or a Sony sporting game... not Mario Kart on SNES you imbeciles.

mezcal

A Mexican liquor that is close cousin to the more famous Tequila. Mezcal is usually stronger, and is known for it's trademark worm which is placed in the bottle. The worm's preservation in the bottle is, according to legend, a sign of high proof in the liquor. Many fraternities believe that eating the worm (which, unlike the liquid it's found in, is relatively harmless) is a right of passage. High quality brands of Mezcal rarely carry the worm.
You aren't a true binge drinker until you've drank the Mezcal and eaten the worm.

ghost car

At night, police cars will sometimes be parked in 'hidden areas', such as behind a billboard or in a parking lot, and will be facing traffic looking for speeders or DWI cases. They may also be parked alongside the road or in the breakdown lane on the highway.

Ghost cars will always have their head lights off, but sometimes the day-running lights will remain on, giving the headlights a light 'ghostly' appearance. It is also sometimes used to refer to any ordinary car driving at night with no headlights or just their dayrunners on, but usually the title is reserved for police vehicles.
I passed under the bridge when I noticed two ghost cars hiding next to it, on the median, each facing a different direction.

scion

Over a decade ago, Toyota revolutionized the American luxury car world with the introduction of the Lexus line. In the early 90s, the economy was booming and luxury cars were once again a hit. Toyota succeeded with the Lexus, and it remains to this day the top selling luxury car in the United States.

Now, comes a new trend. A trend which was spawned from the coke-snorting habits of Generation X. It is the ugly car trend.

Each big company has it's own hideous car. The infamous Honda Element (wannabe hummer), the Volkswagen Golf (Ricers seem to be all over this one now), the Pontiac Aztek (Anyone who pays money for that needs to have their heart ripped out on an altar, Aztec style), the PT Cruiser (You'll cruise right by any hopes of getting poontang in that one), and last and certainly least, the Chevy Avalanche (If you get in a collision, the rubber will make the other car bounce off you).

Toyota once again plans to dominate a rising line of cars with the ugly Scion. This includes the shoebox on wheels, and the wannabe Impala.
I had a Scion infront of me. A Pontiac Aztek to my right. A PT Cruiser to my left. And a Honda Element behind me. If I had one, I'd set off my car bomb and sacrifice my life to remove these hideous cars from the road.
