In the United States of America, usually a low-set, sorta narrow building that is home to a bunch of bowling lanes where people play the game and sport that is bowling. Often smoky (even if smoking is supposedly not allowed), sometimes dark and dingy, often a good time to be had. Some have bars, and many have family nights, cosmic bowling (bowling with the regular lights out and flashing lights and stuff) Saturday morning leagues, and other fun activities.
Various people will gravitate to bowling alleys, including families, serious bowlers, large groups, kids, teens, and guys who like to drink beer, smoke, and hang out with their friends.

Get the bowling alley mug.A hackysack is a small, usually woven fabric ball with some kind of filling that makes it soft and flexible.
The game of hackysack is usually played by standing in a circle and taking turns kicking the ball with one's feet/legs. The ball is passed to other people in the circle, and the idea is for everyone to kick it without the ball touching the ground. Because hackysack players are often found at varying skill levels, in practice this is more challenging than it sounds unless you have an experienced group of people playing.
Other variations of this game can be found as well.
Hackysack tends to be identified with stoners, hippies or wanna-be hippies, and the like, but in reality these stereotypical groups are not the only people that play it. If you've got time to kill, it can be a fun game for anyone.

Get the hackysack mug.In addition to the above defintion, this term is also used in the debate community (particularly policy debate) to describe how debaters tend to get happy and excited when they hear of bad news they can somehow use to an advantage in a debate.
There is a kritik about this, because it could be considered somewhat immoral to derive enjoyment from another's suffering.

1.Debater1- "Did you hear? Five people were killed yesterday after the government mismanaged their healthcare... I've found some awesome evidence from this that'll really boost our case! We're gonna kick those other team's a$$es!"
Debater2 *looking at computer screen*-"Whoa, sh*t, man, that's some serious disasterporn there. I like it."
Debater3-"Y'know, that's sort of wrong you're so happy about this... but what the hell, I'm using that evidence too!"
Deaber4 *sighing at this perceived immaturity* -"If this was a debate I'd run a kritik on you guys right now."

Get the disasterporn mug.A person who decides to become a vegetarian but does not really eat any vegetables. They will often eat bread products, plain pizza, cereal, or various types of junk food because they contain no meat. However, this can be unhealthy because they aren't getting balance in their diet. It will also not help them if they are trying to lose weight.

Get the breaditarian mug.An online site where anyone can register for free and get on one of the four servers (however, one, "Revelation" is reserved for paying, or "Gold" members only) and play a strange-yet-addictive strategy game that is sort of like a live-action version of chess. You control several different "creatures" (for lack of a better word) that each have a certain range of movement and attack on the playing field (which vaguely resembles a chess board). Some attack physically, with swords or knives, and some have spell-casting ablilities. All have specific attack strength, a blocking percentage, and a certain amount of hit points. You have a rating, which is affected each time you win or lose. You start out with a rating of 720. You can also be invited to join a "clan" or group of players who can communicate via a private clan chat. The site features a lobby where you can look for other people to battle, and which contains what is basically a chat room.
This site is largely dominanted by n00bs who are trying to figure out how to play, a cadre of Gold members who appear to be constantly looking for other Golds to battle, desperate people looking for cybersex (sample line: "Any hot girls wanna cyber press 333"), spammers and creepers who don't have anything of much importance to say, people desperately seeking to join clans, and average people who just are looking for a good battle.

Get the Tactics Arena Online mug.1)Positive Connotation:
The state of getting and or becoming "educated" therefore giving you the chance to succeed in life.
At it's most basic level, in the US, graduating from high school, or getting a General Equivalent Diploma. (Hey, if you don't have a diploma, eventually even Micky D's won't want you anymore if more qualified applicants show up. And if you can't read, write, or do basic artithmetic, you can't do a lot of things.)
However, in the United States, most "educated" people have been to a two or four year college and have some form of degree, thus making them elgible for at least slightly better jobs.
For this reason, many adults tell their kids to stay in school and get a good education, so they can be sucessful in life.
2)Negative connotation:
A system run by the state that screws you over, where you learn nothing of importance and must take tons of standardized tests while enduring a dumbed-down curriculum, the main focus being to keep the children just educated enough that they can grow up, take jobs, and become cogs in the wheels of the system, in what is inevitably an "assembly line" approach. In short, the Man's way of stifiling young creativity and brainwashing the youth of the nation.

1) "The reason I know the meaning of the word 'connotation' is because I go to school and get myself an education."
2) "Kids in the US often hate the education system, and feel it stifles their individuality and creativity. However, in third world nations, many kids would love the chance to go to school, even if it's crappy and state-run, because they're stuck working all day without minimum wage."

Get the education mug.1) In the book Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini, a "squip" is a tiny microcomputer that is ingested in pill form and travels to your brain, where it gives you instructions on how to be cool and/or popular. No such techonology yet exists (stuff somewhat similar in concept to this is being developed, though).
The squip is deactivated/destroyed by drinking Mountain Dew Code Red, the short-lived, highly caffenated Mountain Dew spinoff.
2)Originally, this idea was part of Ned Vizzini's largely sucessful (in some places, anyway), campaign to draw attention to his book, Be More Chill.
The campaign was based around the use of stickers that said "SQUIP? Google it.", which fans were encouraged to get for free off of his website and stick wherever they could.
As a result, many people did Google squip, and in the process stumble upon the book.
