Codename initials for an Armored Personnel Carrier, a type of armored vehicle commonly used for transporting military personnel.
"A Hummer isn't a good example of an APC because it's not so well-armored; it's meant for high-speed transportation. But since there are many different kinds of Hummers, maybe one could be souped-up to withstand bulet-barrages."

Get the APC mug.The act of turning in a whole bunch of applications to different areas of employment in hope that at least one of them employs you.
The "shotgun effect" could mean anything involving multiple usage of something until something happens. It is similar to how a shotgun shoots : it fires a spread of buckshot, so if you're shooting a buckshot round from a distance, you'd better hope at least ONE of the pellets hit the target.

Get the shotgun effect mug.A kickass metal band from Norway which features Dimmu Borgir's first drummer. The name was inspired by a horror movie about witches, but to avoid copyright complications they changed one letter.
Susperia is awesome.

Get the Wamelve mug."There were a lot of flasks with Hammer & Sickle emblems at the gun-show this Saturday. Too bad I'm 2 years shy of being able to drink. Plus if they saw the Hammer & Sickle I'd instantly be labeled a commie. Damn prejudice."

Get the flask mug.Solid Snake's biological father. Commonly portrayed as a very old man in a suit underneath a khaki trenchcoat, and wearing an eyepatch on his right eye.
Big Boss is deceased really. However, the US government has managed to preserve his incinerated remains, and with this, they can study his genetic code. And by studying his genetic code, they can find out what genes caused Big Boss to be "the greatest soldier of the 20th century"; these genes are called the "soldier genes".
Big Boss's genetic legacies were going to be octuplets, but 6 were intentionally aborted so that Solid Snake and Liquid Snake would grow to be incredibly strong. However, Solidus was the survivor of the abortion, and is thus the third.
Big Boss fought Solid Snake twice, once in the first Metal Gear game (set in Outer Heaven), and the second Metal Gear game (set in Zanzibar Land).
It is highly possible that Solid Snake is Big Boss's greatest genetic legacy, despite their hatred before BB's death. After all, who else could take out an almost-immortal soldier (Liquid Snake that is)?!
It has been suggested that Big Boss is the main character for Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater. We won't know until the game is released in November of 2004....

"Whoever wins, the battle does not end. The loser is freed from the battlefield, the winner must remain there, and the survivor must live his life as the warrior until he dies."

"This philosophy is why I don't fight.....to me it means that if I got in a fight and managed to win, there will always be people coming after me to try to kill me. No matter how many times I win, there will ALWAYS be people after me. It's a cruel world..."

Get the Big Boss mug.*Another term for a prisoner's room.
*A term to refer to a militious group (such as a terrorist group).
*A quick term for a cellphone, as displayed, as an example, in the first episode of the current TMNT series; the "shellcell".
*The name of a powerful villian in Dragonball Z, able to create duplicates of his genetic code, all of which are capable of learning, and thus creating an almost immortal, self-aware foe. The only way to stop him is to fry his ENTIRE body.
