tampon

A compacted tubular-shaped piece of cotton with a plastic applicator that women and emo boys insert into their vaginas when they're having their period.
The XhardxcoreX emo boy shoved a heavy flow tampon up his ass before going to school.

Ler LaLonde

Amazing guitarist from Primus. Also plays the banjo. His guitar licks often get overshadowed by Claypool's bass, but he adds a lot to the songs.

ultimate-guitar

A website/forum with great guitar tablatures. It has some awesome guitarists that tab songs and even make instructional videos.

Unfortunatley the forum community is mostly made up of dumbass high school freshmen who want to learn to play power chords like their hero, Billy Joe Armstrong. And God forbid when they try to tab something simple like a pop-punk song, they fuck it up somehow.
If you're a good guitarist who doesn't think that My Chemical Romance and Avenged Sevenfold are the pinnacle of musicianship, come check out Ultimate-Guitar.

If you picked up the guitar to try to get pussy, stay the fuck away.

krav maga

Krav Maga isn't recognized as a true "martial art", because it teaches techniques that are "dishonorable" and/or couldn't be used in a fighting ring without really hurting the opponent. It's more like Israeli street fighting.

But it's really powerful and practical in real fights, teaches you where to strike to inflict the most damage, how to disarm opponents, get out of bear hugs/choke holds etc.

And it's not just in LA anymore, there are training centers all over the US now
Pretend a couple of dumbass emo kids try and jump you in the parking lot after class... if you know Krav Maga, you can break their knee caps, punch in a few wind pipes, even go for their testicles/eyes. All they'll know how to do is throw a pathetic right cross.

I've actually squared off with a kid who was bigger than me and had to be careful not to mortally injure him.

sweep picking

A guitar technique used for playing fast arpeggios. One note per string is fretted by the left hand, while the right hand sweeps down/up on the strings in one motion. More than one string cannot ring simultaneously or it will become a chord/whatever.

The difficult part of sweep picking lies within getting your left hand to fret the notes in sync with the right hand's sweeping.
Artists that commonly use sweep picking include Yngwie Malmsteen, Paul Gilbert, and Alexi Laiho

finger tapping

On the guitar, finger tapping is the act of plucking a string with your right hand middle finger (the most common "tapping finger"), either open or fretted, and then hammering on the fretboard with the same finger. Usually you will do hammer-ons/pull-offs with your left hand in between the time that your right hand is tapping.

Tapping can be very simple, e.g. 2 finger tapping where you are simply playing a fast trill (like Toccata and Feuge in D Minor), or it can be very complicated like Buckethead's 10 finger tapping.

Many people claim that Eddie Van Halen invented multiple finger tapping, others say it was Billy Sheehan or Randy Rhoads, etc. But it was definitely Van Halen who brought it to the main stream audience in the 80's.
Finger tapping can add a lot to a guitar solo.

bill and ted's excellent adventure

The most awesome movie ever made. Two punk kids from the 80's (Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter) go back in time with a phone booth.
Bill and Ted's is a most excellent movie.
