wolf parade

A Canadian indie rock band with Arcade Fire connections whose first record was produced by none other than Issac Brock of Modest Mouse fame. As if all of those connections to famous people were not enough, their debut album, "Apologies to the Queen Mary", became overhyped by the online Media Machine as the Next Big Thing(r).

Leaving the indie snobbery behind, they are a damn good band who wrote some extremely good songs that are currently stuck in my head
Wolf Parade is another part of the great '80s revival going on in contemporary indie rock.

trash gnome

The trash gnome is the selected person, out of a group that sits together for lunch, that throws everyone's trash away. Currently an in-joke between a few people... you know who you are.

The position of Trash Gnome should be considered as a trade-off; you have the Holy Privelege of eating lunch with us (although we hate you!) provided that you throw out all our trash.

Also known as Trash Fairy, Trash Elf, Trash Nazi.
Me: Shivam, YOU'RE the trash gnome! <a strong-handed push of the large trash can commonly found in our school>

Him: No, I don't want to be the trash gnome <push of trash can back to me> - now give me a dollar or you get ketchup all over yourself.

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!!

lockdown

Lockdown, or Lockdown Mode, is when a public school building is literally locked down so that the Police, as well as the Great Drug-Sniffing Dogs, can search - without a warrant - lockers for drugs and other Contraband Items. And before you ask, yes it is constitutional. I am so sorry.
1. During the annual lockdown mode, we must turn off all the lights in the classroom and not move a muscle; if we are seen in the hallways we are automatically a suspect.

2. Many students question whether this Torture violates the fourth amendment - as there is search and seizure going on without a Warrant - but I'm afraid that you lose many constitutional rights when we go into our schools.

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.

Jethro Tull

Jethro Tull invented the seed drill; he was part of the group that created scientific farming as we know it. Also an overrated prog rock band with an electric flute player.
When the history teacher told us Jethro Tull invented the seed drill, we laughed like crazy.
