A high school senior that wears a varsity jacket that says:
1.Marching Band
2.Symphony Band
and nothing else. If they have another sport on their jacket, then they're fine. (BTW, orchestra is better than band.)

A film aired in the late 70's set in the star wars setting. It is by far the biggest waste of 2 hours. If you dont believe me, you can watch the whole thing (in parts) on youtube. The only thing good about it is the Boba Fett cartoon. 90% of the film is set in Chewbacca's house, and he's not even there until the end. Watch it if you want, but don't blame me if you felt you just wasted your time.

Despite common opinion, there is a difference between a metalhead and a simple metal fan. A metal fan is simply someone who likes to listen to metal.
A metalhead on the other hand is a dying breed of people that once made up a full blown countercultural movement of the 70s and 80s, but since has been worn down to a small and dispersed subculture. The internet has provided a great medium for metalheads to communicate through messageboards and forums about various metal groups both old and new.
A metalhead is not only a fan of metal music, but is dedicated to the knowledge of groups, to appreciating the full depth of various metal music (which is EXTREMELY deep), and appreciating the diversity of metal. A lot of metal heads have an appreciation of classical and opera music as well, in fact studies show that metalheads and classical music listeners have similar personalities, especially when it comes to music.
Contrary to stereotypes, there is no specific ideology or fashion for metalheads. Some may wear a suit and tie every day and carry a briefcase, some will dress stereotypically with worn out jeans, band t shirts of various bands they like, and grown out hair/beards. As for ideology, metalheads are normally diverse in their ideologies, although it is common to see one that's has a more apathetic ideology.

Can you believe that guy is a metalhead? (points to a man that's well kept and well dressed, wearing a suit and a tie and his hair combed back, probably wearing aviators)
Whoa, he's a metalhead? Figured he'd be another one of those jocky tools with no souls!
No he just works in business and has to dress like that, you should see him on the weekends!

A term used to refer to a studded black belt (leather or vinyl), typically found in the wardrobes of anybody who identifies with any alternative lifestyle, good and bad (rockers, punks, metalheads, goths, ravers, emos, etc). This term is used by any of the above mentioned people due to their abundance and ready availability and to indicate their necessity in an alternative wardrobe.
hmm, looking for some new clothes, know where to start?
start with a standard issue belt, then let's get some better pants and some good shirts. also you'll need a good jacket!

A variation of the police state where a police force acts more as bullies than police. A typical bully will pick on people that he/she knows to have no problem picking on without fear of retaliation but shying away from "someone your own size." In a bully state, police officers have absolutely no trouble cracking down on truly trivial matters, especially "victimless crimes" such as: 90% of misdemeanors (MIPs, pissing in public, use of mild drugs, "open containers"), more than half of all traffic violations (speeding within the 5-10mph "cushion", running a yellow light, etc), however when it comes to matters truly relevant or life endangering, they hesitate to crack down or have a "protocol" involving a heavy bureaucracy that makes it not worth it
my house gets taken over by Crips but the police don't do jack shit! I drive with an empty beer bottle in my trunk left there by my MOM because it fell out of the bag of bottle deposit bottles? I get a fucking misdemeanor! This is no police state, it's a fucking BULLY state!
