corpse kill

Killing an already dead man to make sure that he is in fact dead. For example, you might snap someone's spine, then just to make sure, you drop the person down an elevator shaft. A staple of Steven Seagal movies.

One of the many innovations of 80s Action is the corpse kill. ... In the case of Tommy Lee Jones, Seagal beats his man, slices him up with a knife, pushes his eyeball back into his brain (Jones is still alive at this point) then drives the knife into the top of Jones' skull, right up to the handle. The corpse then gets thrown headfirst through a monitor and electrocuted. You know those scenes where it looks like the bad guy is dead, but then he gets back up and musters one more cheap shot? You don't see any of those in Seagal flicks.

Three Word Syndrome

A phenomenon in the hardcore, metalcore and emo scenes where band names are dramatic constructions of three words or more. In some cases, the spaces between these words are removed for extra cool points.

There are lots of band names that suffer from Three Word Syndrome: Embrace the End, Killing the Dream, Bleed the Dream, Bleed the Sky, As Cities Burn, As Hope Dies, Beneath the Ashes, Boysetsfire, Skycamefalling, Prayer For Cleansing, November Coming Fire... Okay, I'm done with examples now.

braveheart

Derived from the Mel Gibson movie with the same name, the Braveheart is when during a concert (usually of the harder type), the band tells the audience to split up into two sides, one dubbed the English, the other dubbed the Scottish. These sides will face each other, and on some type of cue, usually when the music or a breakdown starts, the two sides will run into each other, causing a giant moshpit to erupt all over the venue.

"That was an amazing Braveheart!" Lou Koller (Sick of It All), Stockholm, 3/4 2004

telenovela

Top Gear rule

An important rule of thumb to consider throughout life: when a footballer (that's soccer for Americans) buys a particular object, frequents a particular place or anything like it, it's probably time to move on, lest you become considered tasteless by association.

The Top Gear rule states that ultra-expensive supercars that only footballers can afford are not cool, because footballers are most often tasteless wankers.
