A wobbly (but unfallydowny) toy from back in the day. (Actually, it originated in the 70's, which is well before MY 'back in the day,' but I can pretend to be cool and know what I'm talking about.) (And anyway, Playskool still makes incarnarnations of the darn things.)
While I never had Hasbro's brand name Weebles, I did play with a DIY version my uncle made for me. It involved a purple plastic easter egg (you know, the kind you get three jelly beans in) with a penny taped inside the bottom half and a rather frightening face drawn on in Sharpie. Basically, like the actual Weeble, you could bat it around and it would always right itself. It wasn't that far off from the real thing, either.
Being a somewhat belligerent child, I took the slogan as a personal affront, and spent many hours (well, at least twenty minutes trying to devise ways to MAKE THE DARN THING STAY TIPPED OVER. Gluing it to the table might have worked, but I was caught before the elmer's had set. Would that I were still so carefree!
Admittedly not a hugely challenging idea for a toy, but hey.

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!
Distracted Father: *calling from the next room* Janie? Janie, did you take my superglue?
Slightly Creepy Child: *loudly and sweetly* No, Daddy!
Distracted Father: Huh. *goes to the basement to check his toolbox for the fourth time*
Slightly Creepy Child: *stashes tube of epoxy, glaring at newly-inverted Weeble the entire time* Take that, you demonic ovoid spawn of hell.

A wholesome-looking black and white clip art character that has been used in recent years to humorously promote drugs, violence, and alcohol.
By this point in time, he's a seedy cliché seen on out-of-style book covers, posters, and T-shirts. It's not funny anymore, guys. It doesn't make you trendy or ironic, and you're not sticking it to anything.
It just makes you look like an idiot who gets off on beating dead horses.

The only value in filthy, disgusting, violent, or obscene materials in the media (television shows, movies, online forums, etc.). Ironically, these things have become so common that even the shock value is gone, leaving their existence pointless and the masses desensitised (or disgusted).

Verb, "to be excellent." Used to express great approval or joy.
Commonly applied to people, events, and objects, but rarely locations.
It is frequently preceded by the adverb totally, and may be used with or without the terminal preposition.
Similar to rock my face off, but with a dorkier twist.
Online usage note: phrase must be accompanied by some form of caps lock.

Megan! AWESOME! You totally rock my socks!
Caesar: Napoleon Dynamite sucked... like a leech.
Cleopatra: Are you kidding me? That movie totally rocked my SOCKS off!
Having free laundry at my dorm rocks my socks off.
However, the laundry room itself is a location; ergo, it does not rock my socks. :(

The internationally-recognised time to start any homework that has been assigned for one's weekend. This includes (but is not limited to) math problems, lines, essays, papers, presentations, studying for exams, and take-home tests.
Larger projects are usually assigned over a weekend because of the "extra time" it gives students. This is amusing because students do not utilise this extra time, instead choosing to begin work on at the very end of the weekend.
In some cases, Sunday afternoon is better stated as Sunday evening.
See also the eleventh hour.

Geez, I hate my teacher. Can you believe she assigned us a 10 page paper on Friday? She knows no one's going to start until Sunday afternoon!

Self-important or artistically-inclined person whose only conversation topics center around himself, his art, and his isolation from pop-culture and society. Extremely vocal; unable or unwilling to accept that not everything “mainstream” is bad. Typically wears Bohemian garb and listens to public radio; is unreasonably proud of his “reject” status in society. Frequently found in and around Liberal Arts colleges.
I am sick and tired of listening to Meredith talk about how no one understands her or her art. She is such a braggartist.
You know, there’s “good” eclectic, and then there’s “bad” eclectic. I’m all for soy nuts and public radio, but some of these braggartists are just crazy.
