A trailer for a movie with heavy use of explosions. The term "explosion trailer" is always preceded by a number indicating the amount of explosions.
Explosion trailers are light on serious dialogue and the audience is sometimes left wondering what the movie is about, other than explosions. The number of fourteen-year old boys who will see the movie increases exponentially with the number of explosions in the trailer.
Usually, a movie with an explosion trailer is not considered Oscar-worthy, unless it is for special effects. For the life of me, I can't recall an explosion trailer featuring Meryl Streep.

After seeing the seven-explosion trailer for Timecop III, all the boys in Ms. Shull's 9th grade homeroom couldn't wait to see it.

From Television Rooting. Rooting for your favorite sports team on TV when you can't be at the game.
While trooting has no effect on team morale or energy, it is practiced religiously by fans in sports bars and living rooms everywhere. Trooting may also contain more profanity than ordinary rooting, depending on the venue.

A lazy, unproductive co-worker, whose lack of work ethic means you have to work that much harder to carry their load.
My co-worthless Lester called in sick again and now I'm stuck covering his graveyard shift. I hope the little weasel gets sick for real!

A process by which Mainstream Media addresses an issue incessantly, building up to a sense of pending doom. Of course, the problem, while worrisome, does not pose the grave threat they would like you to believe. Finally, MSM abandons coverage of the problem completely, moving on to another problem.
"Honey, why don't we hear any news about the drug cartels anymore?"
"That was last month's problem saturation, dear."

A female leftist reporter who covers TEA parties. Too arrogant to believe free speech applies to anyone but them, these womyn make snide jokes and/or ask pointed derisive questions of exasperated taxpayers exercising their right to assembly. Rumor has it they are just doing what their bosses told them to, after their hiring session on the news network's version of the casting couch.
CNN's Susan Roesgen and M(etro)S(exual)NBC's Rachel Madcow are excellent examples.

A black spider. Not a Black Widow, since those are easily defined. Just one of those anonymous black spiders that probably have names, but only a professor who studies spiders would know them.
