Don't you ever feel sad
Lean on me when times are bad
When the day comes and you're down
In a river of trouble and about to drown
Just hold on, I'm coming
Hold on, I'm coming
Sam and Dave were great together. Their perfect voices made some pretty memorable tunes.

A common method of cheating in pinball where the person "tilts" (lifts) the machine to one side in order to force the ball to move somewhere else, potentially stopping it from going right between the flippers, or into a bonus.
Unfortunately, most machines are programmed specifically to combat this; if the machine detects that it is being tilted, a message saying "TILT" will appear. "TILT" causes the machine to become unresponsive until the ball falls out, causing the player to lose it. This is done to prevent cheating, as well as to avoid the machine being damaged.

Person 1: You hear about the guy who got the record high score on one of the pinball machines at the local arcade?
Person 2: Yeah, what about him?
Person 1: He was disqualified after someone ratted on him for tilting.
Person 2: Well, good on them. Cheaters never prosper. But how did he get away with it for so long? Normally the machine can detect that.
Person 1: Well...he was careful about it to make sure that the machine didn't notice, and people were too focused on the score.
Person 2: So how did they figure it out?
Person 1: The machine broke, and the guy playing it at the time happened to be an expert who suggested that someone was tilting. So they replayed that guy's high score and discovered it. He's now banned from the arcade.

To explain something in layman's terms or otherwise an extremely simpleton way so that even the most ignorant people can understand.
I had to spell out to my friend that gun laws don't work because criminals don't follow laws. It made my brain hurt.

When a person who has been missing for an extended period is declared dead, even though there is usually no evidence to support whether they are alive to deceased because they are...well, missing.
A missing person is declared dead in absentia when they have not been located for seven years after vanishing.
A missing person is declared dead in absentia when they have not been located for seven years after vanishing.
Death in absentia can lead to odd scenarios if the person comes back.
For example, a man who had gone missing long enough to be declared dead suddenly turned up again and appealed his declaration of death in court. However, the decision was ruled irreversible, and he remained legally dead despite his clearly being alive, as he was standing in the courtroom!

Some people think the Bakadere childhood friend is Best Girl.
Some people think the Kuudere bookworm is Best Girl.
Some people think the Tsundere shorty with daddy issues is Best Girl.
And some people think the self-aware Yandere is Best Girl.
They all have their own reasons, and it leads to some heated flame wars.

A guy who appears to be absolutely incapable of taking hints, but actually isn't. He just lacks self-confidence and doesn't want to completely embarrass himself by assuming that those hints are real, because he's not sure that his girlfriend is reciprocating those feelings or if she's just messing with him.
"My boyfriend is denser than a black hole."
"He's an insecure black hole, girl. He knows what you want him to do. He's just extremely shy and doesn't want to just assume things, lest he will make you uncomfortable. You have to be completely sincere to him, and you'll probably have to spell things out for him. Patience is key."
"Well, now he just sounds like even more of a loser."
"And you sound like a narcissist who thinks that a man has to be confident in order to be worth your time. That toxic mindset is never going to pick up any guys. Looks are nothing; personality is everything. He's a sweet guy, and you're an inflexible jackass."
"I want a man who can use his words."
"He has social anxiety. Did you know that? But by all means, why don't you go ahead and explode at him for being shy? I'm sure he would take that really well. Do you want to be the reason that someone committed suicide because they can't afford to see a therapist?"

When a person (usually a gamer) does things they don't mean to do because they accidentally press all the wrong buttons, usually due to stress or simply having huge fingers. Can cause lots of rage depending on what accidentally occurs and when.
