star wars holiday special

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.

guy 1: dude, that star wars holiday special sucks!
guy 2: duh, I told you not to watch it

the plague

in a historical context, the plague often refers to the bubonic plague or "black death", also known as pestilence, which wiped out large portions of the population of Europe and Asia during the 14th and 15th centuries

in a modern vernacular context, the plague refers to someone being out with illness, most often a chest cold or flu, usually exaggerating the extent of one's illness while demonstrating their incapacity

Sara can't come in today, she's out with the plague
Okay then send her my condolences and tell her to get better soon!

The Bubonic plague, otherwise simply called the "plague", killed millions of people in medieval Europe

battleon

a repetitive, yet very addicting rpg. I've played this game from hours at a time, to 5 minutes at a time. After playing for 5 minutes, you'll get hooked to the game. I even stopped like runescape, RUNESCAPE!, because of this game. Everytime i get the chance to play aq, i go through one hell of a withdrawel after getting off. I'm warning you now, DONT PLAY THIS GAME, AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DONT GET GUARDIANSHIP (membership) EITHER!!!!

tommy: wanna play BattleOn at my house?
timmy: its adventure quest, or aq, stupid. BattleOn is the site.
tommy: oh,

the pile

A pile of mundane but indispensable items that often builds up in a certain spot of a room/apartment/etc, such as the tchotchkes piling up on a desk/dresser, a pile of laundry (both dirty and clean), or a pile of boxes that exist when moving between 2 or more places in a short period of time. It is worth noting that these piles, although manageable, are often really hard to remove completely, especially as they are quick to build up again, quite commonly in different places.

a variation of this term is the "college pile" which is essentially a pile of boxes, luggage, etc that piles up at a person's home before or after moving between college dorms/apts

hey found this random book light on your desk?
throw it on the pile!

hey there's a box of books here?
the college pile!
