Pop Rap

1. A trendy style of music marketed as rap music; it actually sounds more like R and B. Although the rappers look "gangsta" and have all that bling bling, they usually sing (yes. They sing instead of rap) about going to parties and getting crunk and having every girl at their call. Most - if not all - singles have a female guest. Examples: Nelly, Ludacris, Anyone who sings with Ciara.

2. Music that "waters down" the content of rap music to fit a young, pre-teen, easily lured, pop audience: see Lil' Bow Wow, Lil' Romeo.
1. -Did you go to the Ludacris concert last night? Everyone was there, you know...

--No; I don't like pop rap.

love

An overrated, possibly nonexistent, feeling. Associated with losing all logic and sanity.
Julius must love that girl, because he's acting all rude and offensive on me, as if I'm going to take her away.

lacrosse

Lacrosse is a trendy sport that seems to have been idolized by many in the past 5 years. It appears to be a rather preppy sport, although I am not the best judge for that.
1)Honestly, I first heard of Lacrosse two years ago, when someone in my social studies class made a Lacrosse stick as part of a Native American research project.

2)The preppily-dressed senior had to go to her Honda to retrieve the lacrosse stick she forgot.

Memento mori

1. Crazy latin literary/art term for a reminder of death. Memento Mori is often seen in 17th century Dutch paintings.

2. The names of two of the best megawads ever created for DooM II.
1. If you look at that painting sideways, you'll see a memento mori.

2. After spending a week beating the expertly-crafted levels of Memento Mori II, I was blown away. Every other DooM WAD that followed was bland.

qat

A sort of shrub in the Middle East... also the essential word for Scrabble players.
I have a Q but no U, so I'm going to put down the word "qat". Challenge me all you want; it's a real word!!

iamb

In poetry, a Metrical Foot that has an unstressed (short) syllable followed by a long (stressed) syllable.

An iamb, when diagrammed, looks somewhat like this: ^ '

Iambic Pentameter is an iambic verse used by Shakespeare, his colleagues and imitators, and by countless romantic poets throughout the ages.
A Poem about Poetry in Iambic Tetrameter

The Iamb! the Trochee! can't you see
they're different kinds of poetry
Oh no, you say, they're types of verse.
So I was cursed until the end
Oh, God! Oh, Friend, can you help me
Release myself from agony?

you guys

Proof of America's sexist bias. Although it's obviously designed to address the male sex, this phrase is used just as often by girls between girls.
After leaving band class every day, I would always hear the same group of girls address one another: "hey, you guys, listen." I find it ironic there was not a single guy in their midst.
