High-Fidelity Oscilloscope

1. An electronic device that is overkill or is grossly over-engineered for a given task. An example is a 200 megahertz oscilloscope on your $8,000 CD transport to view sound waves that are four orders of magnitude less clear.

2. Any expensive device bought to "improve" the performance of a system (not just a sound system), when only a small percentage of the potential of the added on device will be used.
They now have a "gaming" network card with a K-shaped heatsink on it, which is about as pointless as a high-fidelity oscilloscope.

So you bought a blu-ray recording deck to get crisp copies off your VHS tapes you taped off of UHF rabbit ears?? You might as well as bought a high fidelity oscilloscope to draw a graph of how often the furnace switches on.

Bob Dylan spent $2,000 on a new Karoke machine with the ribbon microphone,electrostatic speaker, and Akai open-reel deck, but I personally think he wasted his money on a high fidelity oscilloscope.

RiceBoy:My $250 Yugo has remote-start, DVD video system with navigation, and premium high-octane fuel in the tank, as well as an exhaust tailpipe big enough to fit an LP record album in sideways. MuscleCarMan:(sarcastic tone)You should put in a high-fidelity oscilloscope in next!

imminent global apocalypse

Used as a comparison to righteously downplay the purported wrongness of a non-criminal act when it's presented as criminal. It trivializes unnecessary hatred toward a deed.
What imminent global apocalypse will happen if I fart in public? If I had 300 million dollars I'd pay someone $20 everytime I caught them farting in public.

Is there an imminent global apocalypse that will occur if I stay up during the night while you sleep, provided that I am quiet?

No matter how hard Marx tried, he couldn't stop the imminent global apocalypse that happened when people smoked marijuana in the privacy of their own homes.

What a human has done who thinks the only meaning of life is to make more life. Often has 6 or more children, wants to get free paychecks, has many spouses (consecutively or concurrently), wants time off from work, and doesn't believe in either condoms or abstinence.
Heather's grandmother bred like a nymphomaniac rabbit on Viagra. She had 17 children, each and every one a body mass index of 40.

I'm slitting my stomach

Harakiri, seppuku, belly cutting. It's when you take a samurai sword and carve into the skin and fat of your abdomen and as you feel the pain, reach into the bloody mess and pull out your guts. Most likely you die from a lack of blood. Some more cowardly samurai would get their friend to chop off their head to ease the pain.
My geisha left me, my trainer got shot with arrows, and my bird ran away...I'm slitting my stomach.

I'm a manly samurai--I'm slitting my stomach, and I don't want any assistance as I go on my instant trip to an eternal vacation.

Thorodin

A cool made up male Viking name, it is Thor crossed with Odin. So if someone's a little higher than the pagan gods, they are Thorodin. Pronounced thore-uh-dinn.
Thorodin tore out the Crusader's jugular vein with his teeth like it was the tape out of a cassette.

the age of well-behaving animals

The Christian afterlife, when lions can be petted by humans while sitting next to a lamb, without fear of getting mauled. Since humans are of the animal kingdom, they will behave good too.
In the age of well-behaving animals, no strain of bacteria would not make us sick, and elephants wouldn't trample children.

In the age of well-behaving animals, no one would bother going to war or steal from someone.
