egg theory 

Egg theory is the belief that says all femboys and tomboys are transgender. Egg theorists either don't believe in the existence of cis femboys and tomboys, or believe that their gender non-conformity is transphobic, completely unaware of the irony of them policing their gender based on their AGAB. When an egg theorist sees a femboy or tomboy, they try to "crack their egg", which is code for "gaslight and harass them into transitioning to the opposite gender".
Egg theorist: "Astolfo is a trans girl!"
a sane person: "Egg theory solidifies gender binarist stereotypes. Stop supporting egg theory."

plastic guitar game

A tongue-in-cheek nickname for the video game series Guitar Hero and Rock Band, as well as other related or similar games where you use a guitar-shaped controller (“plastic guitar”), such as Clone Hero or GuitarFreaks.
“we’ve reached the pinnacle of plastic guitar game mastery” (on a video of a 5-second meme chart on Clone Hero)
Emoji (from Japanese 絵文字, read えもじ) are tiny pictures you can put as a character in text. Their appearance differs slightly between platforms.

The concept and the word both date back to early Japanese mobile phones; “emoji” means “pictogram” in Japanese. Emoji spread worldwide when the iPhone implemented the emoji keyboard, made possible by the Unicode Consortium’s efforts to combine all the world’s text encodings into one.

The word “emoji” is made of two components, 絵 (e) and 文字 (moji), meaning “picture” and “letter” respectively. Therefore, any claims that tie the word to “emoticon” are etymologically wrong.

Emoji are also not to be confused with emotes, which appear on platforms like Twitch or Discord, and do not have Unicode code points; for example, 😂 and 🍆 are emoji, while PogChamp and OmegaLUL are not.
“I’m so bored. Let’s play connect four
⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪
⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪
⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪⚪
⚪⚪⚪🔵⚪⚪⚪
Use red”

Android phones have USB-3 ports, headphone jacks, expandable storage, non-store apps, and Google Maps. iPhones can make your face an emoji.”

mansplain 

To explain in a condescending, oversimplified, and often inaccurate manner, without regard to the fact that the explainee knows more than the explainer, usually done by a man to a woman.

Not all condescending explanations are mansplaining; the term does not apply when the man in question is indeed more knowledgeable about the topic than the woman.

Mansplaining usually occurs on the topic of sexism, feminism, or gender inequality, but not always. For example, a male programmer could mansplain coding to a woman, despite the woman having more qualifications and writing better-quality code.

Related terms include whitesplain, straightsplain, and cisplain. The overarching thread is someone privileged explaining something to someone less privileged, about a topic the explainer knows less about.
A: “Stop mansplaining. You have no idea what it feels like to be subjected to sexism.”
B: “Feminists are ridiculous! Mansplaining is when a man’s point is discredited just because he’s male, not because he’s wrong!”
A: “What the hell, did you just mansplain mansplaining to me?”

cartridgeography 

the set of all software, often video games, released on a console that uses cartridges (from "cartridge" + "discography")
"His NES game collection is massive. Does he have the entire cartridgeography?"
"The Virtual Boy failed massively, causing its cartridgeography to only consist of 22 games."

weebsplain 

when a weeaboo loudly corrects and explains things about Japan, often inaccurately, to a real Japanese person. (like mansplaining, but instead of a man to a woman, it's a weeb to a Japanese person)
“Samurai did take their katana out for other reasons than bloodying it, Derek. Japan is humid. Blades need sharpening. So shut the fuck up and stop weebsplaining.”

anachillaxis 

an allergic reaction experienced while chillaxing
(first attested use in a YouTube video by esoteric computer scientist Tom Murphy VII, PhD)
If you invite Derek over, make sure to lock away all the peanut products, so that we don't accidentally give him anachillaxis.
