yogasm

The result of several outlandish excersises, that stress your brain. A softer variety of this is the satisfaction after a long run.

Why are you still standing on your head clapping your hands behind your back? Don't tell me you are trying to achieve that yogasm nonsense again!

anime music video

A video clip made by editing many cut scenes from one or more animes fit to some catchy MP3 song. The song is an important choice - it's either in English or in Japanese and the AMV creator should be familiar with it's words to make the scenes match the song text. The scenes shouldn't contain any subtitles and be of good quality, as otherwise the creator's efforts are half wasted. Many newbies even forget to turn off the DIVX logo - especially annoying, when it appears on every cut.
The resulting music video is a self-contained story and can really entertain you if made properly - it's sometimes even better than the song's original live clip.

Aluminum Studios have made some cool AMVs, but most of them are just fillers.

Digital

(adj.) Describes any kind of information that is stored as a sequence of bits rather than as the kind of information stored without sharp differences like a flow of sound on tape or ink on paper, which are examples of analog record. The analog information is susceptible to noise, aging and corruption during copying much more than the digital media.

The word digital comes from Latin digitus = finger, which refers to the bit yes/no structure of the information - the finger is either up or down.

tuning

Changing your car's appearance to enhance it (in your eyes) - ranges from lame dasher frills and spoilers to reboared cylinders and rechipped injection circuits. It's supposed to make your car go (or just look) faster.

The proud owner of a tuned car won't likely sell it to anyone else.
