MLA Format

Stupid, pointless method for writing a paper and citing your sources. Dictates that every little detail must be done in a certain way and if you make the smallest mistake then you deserve to fail (and be expelled if your in college).
The paper took me only a half hour, but I ended up spending all night correcting it because of the stupid MLA format rules.

Ex-hippie

One who at one point identified as a traditional hippie, sharing the same viewpoints on politics, culture, sex, and drugs, but have since cleaned up and taken up normal lives. While most ex-hippies remain politically liberal on most issues, their views tend to be more to the right than their views in their hippie days, while several take more conservative approaches to the drugs they once did, especially involving their own children.
For most ex-hippies, the same bands they liked back in the day remain with them. More often than not it remains the only thing about them that doesn't change.

Surfin' Bird

Song by early Garage Rock/Rock n Roll band The Trashmen from their debut album of the same name. The Ramones did a terrific cover of it on their "Rocket to Russia" album.

A great song indeed. Sadly most kids today only know about it due to it's use on an episode of "Family Guy".
Kid A: What are you listening to?

Kid B: Surfin' Bird

Kid A: Sweet! Which version, The Trashmen or The Ramones?

Kid B: Ummm...Peter Griffin's?

Kid A: You mean The Trashmen's version.

Kid B: No I'm pretty sure this is Peter's

Kid A: *sigh* Never mind. *to self* That's why I'm fine with Futurama

School

Once one of the most important steps in creating and maintaining society, schools in the last 60 years or so have become about as effective as a condom with no covering on the tip.

Multiple factors have contributed to the downfall of school effectiveness, including (but not limited to):

*Teachers that treat students like they're more stupid than they really are

*Schoolboards and administrations that are more concerned with what the students are wearing than what they are learning

*Textbooks so boring and poorly written they make the worst parts of the bible look like the Harry Potter books

*Students who take out their frustrations with the school system on other students, making it hard for anyone to look forward to going

*Assignments, tests, and grading systems that make students start worrying about the smallest, most insignificant things.
Schools are really now nothing but prisons that let you go home every day-so long as you return the next.

Wheatley

Note: It's only fair to point out this article may contain spoilers.

Character from the video game Portal 2. Helps you through the first part of the game to the point where you remove Glados from power. At that point he betrays you and sends you to the abandoned part of Apeture Science, forcing you to form a partnership with Glados to stop him.
Wheatley nearly kills Chell and Glados so many times it's not even funny.

Kill La Kill

Perhaps the most popular anime of 2014. Known for fight scenes and high amounts of fanservice.
Take everything that makes Gurren Lagann so epic and everything that makes Fooly Cooly so bizzare and you've got Kill La Kill.

White Sox

Chicago's American League and south side MLB team (as opposed to the Cubs, who play on the North Side). Often regarded as the "second team of the second city" in spite of:

*More world series titles (three to the Cubs' two) as well as the advantage of actually having won a title in the last 100 (or rather 105) years.

*A statistically better record over the last 25 years (i.e. more winning seasons than losing)

*A newer, nicer stadium that helps provide a happy, fun, comfortable ballgame experience (Wrigley may have more history and outer beauty, but it's a different story inside the ballpark)

*Fans who, though not above taunting and harassing, will actually respect players and fans of the opposing team (unlike Cubs fans, who enjoy turning aggressive on innocent fans and players when things don't go their way)
When the White Sox lose, they admit it was the result of bad playing by their team or much better playing by the other, and look to build a better team from that point regardless.

When the Cubs lose, they blame some ridiculous "curse" or even one of their own fans and let yet another defeat become more and more part of the team's history and daily life
