Get the busmug. The popular practice in Hollywood (and sometimes, in Asian cinema) of using rapid-fire editing to compensate for sloppy fight choreography or actors who are poor martial artists. The key signs of edit-fu are frequent shot changes in between moves (and sometimes during them, if it's really bad) and is sometimes accompanied by a close-up, shaky camera do further prevent the audience from actually looking at the fight.
Person 1: Hey did you see that martial arts movie starring that underwear model who was fighting all the ninjas?
Person 2: Yeah, and it sucked. The story was lame, no-one could act, and not even the fights were any good because they used so much edit-fu.

Get the Edit-fumug. In 1337 speech, it's used in conjunction with a variety of words to make the word sound "1337." For example: "hackers" becomes "haxx0rz." "Sex" becomes "sexx0rs." Etc.
ZOMG dude, I was playing Counterstrike the other night and then the host turned on teh haxx0rz and started to kilxx0rz everyone!

Get the xx0rzmug. A politically correct substitute for the word "lose." Has become extremely popular in the last 4 years.
The Springfield Hawks seemed to have victory in the state championship game locked up. But halfway through the game, Coach Moore decided that winning was too hard, and had the team change course.

Bob: "You're totally a religious atheist."
Hank: "AM NOT! So do you want to come to the national prayer week protest blood drive on Saturday?"

Get the religious atheistmug. Dino-Riders was an awesome cartoon / toy franchise which existed from 1988-1990. In the same vein as Transformers and GI Joe, Dino Riders was the story of a conflict between the heroic Valorians, who waged war against the evil Rulon Empire. They accidentally traveled through time to ancient Earth, and shortly after they strap futuristic weapons onto the dinosaurs. In every episode they fight for control of the STEP energy crystal, and the Valoreans always won in true 80's cliche manner, with everyone managing to avoid injury despite the hundreds of lasers being shot in each battle.
The toys were excellently made, and many are prized by collectors. The dinosaurs were all highly detailed and came with weapons and either a Valorean or Rulon warrior. Some of the dinosaurs were even motorized, allowing them to walk! The most well known of the toys are likely the Diplotocus (which came with the Valorean leader Questar) and the T-Rex (which came with the Rulon leader Krulos).
Dino-Riders may not be as widely remembered as Transformers or GI Joe, but it still captured everything that was great (and stupid) about 1980's action cartoons and toys. Let us pray that it is one day revived, either as a movie or a new cartoon series.

Guy 1: "Hey, do you remember Dino-Riders?"
Guy 2: "Oh yeah, they were awesome! I have the T-Rex, and he still walks!"

Get the Dino-Ridersmug. It's a new technology, part of the so-called "The Internet of Things" that is currently in development by several labs and companies around the world. It's a small magnetized chip with an antenna, which can be read by a magnetic scanner.
While diluted conspiracy moonbats think that the chips are used to track people's wherabouts by satellite, this idea falls apart for one very simple reason: the chips do not have batteries. It would take a massive antenna on each chip and a powerful battery (we're talking satellite phone sized, here) to actually broadcast a signal that would be readable from space, so that completely negates the idea that they can be injected into a person's body and used to track their every move.
RFID technology is nothing new, either. I was at a Laser Tag arena 10 years ago where they used a very similar system to keep track of the scores in a player's gun, using magnetic signals to transfer a player's ID signal from the gun to the computer at the desk and vise-versa.
It is true that we do need some federal regulations about what RFID can be used for. Some things make sense, like using them to replace bar codes on consumer products. Other applications are somewhat questionable, like putting them inside of passports which could potentially be scanned by a terrorist or identity thief using a stolen scanner. However, the idea of tracking people is ridiculously impractical, since you'd need to have scanners every couple of feet to do it effectivly, since the chips as so short range.
So basically, while it's unwise to stick things in your body that don't belong there, the idea the government will require everyone to be electronically monitored 24/7 is absolutely ridiculous. And besides the technological complications, there is no provision in the U.S. constitution that would allow for it.

Illuminati moonbat: OMG! Amerika and the Jews are going to use RFID to track every person's activities and control your mind! I took apart my new passport and destroyed the chip so now I'm free from the NWO's mind control YIPEE!!!
Sane person: If you're so anti-technology, then why are you on a computer? If you never leave your computer desk, and someone tracks your online activity, then you're already having your every move watched.
