Grace & style. Deriving the greatest amount of benefit from the least amount of effort. Dedication to quality, not flash. That which elevates an action artistically, and separates a performance from that of a technically proficient caveman.
1. Eric Clapton, Slash, and Joe Satriani have touch. Steve Vai does not. George Harrison's lack of touch is particularly evident on Revolution, where he sounds like a dying cat.
2. Jet Li has touch; he always looks like he is moving very slowly, even when he is moving very fast. Jackie Chan cavemans it; he always looks like he is at the the very limit of his ability.
3. Peter Line has touch.
4. Most new rock climbers have no touch, especially muscular guys; they caveman routes and burn themselves out, while the more experience women outclimb them easily.

Holding materialism and conspicuous consumption in very low regard. Pronounced "A-materialistic", like "asexual". Because "antimaterialism" was taken (it means something religious).
Doug - There are plenty of great women out there, but I just can't take a woman seriously if I see she has Coach shoes, or if she has Prada or D&G sunglasses.
Walter - Pussy is pussy, dude.
Doug - I know, I'm just amaterialistic.

Celebrated each November 5th, Back to the Future Day is our opportunity to recognize Doc Brown's discovery of the Flux Capacitor, the device that makes time travel possible. Back to the Future Day is celebrated by wishing everyone a Happy Back to the Future Day, and updating your social media networks statuses accordingly.
On November 5th, 1955, Dr. Emmet Lathrop Brown (Doc Brown to his friends), was attempting to hang a clock in his bathroom. As he reached over, he lost his footing , slipped from the toilet that he was standing on, and struck his head against the side of the sink.
Unconscious, Doc had a vision. And that vision was that of a Flux Capacitor — the device that makes time travel possible.
Requiring 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power and to be moving at a speed of 88 mph (142 km/h) the Flux Capacitor allows one to move forward or backwards in time.
Dr. Emmet Brown, on this day in history, we salute you, and remember your red letter date in the history of science!

Back to the Future Day: The Origin Story
Dr. Emmett Brown: Then tell me, "Future Boy", who's President in the United States in 1985?
Marty McFly: Ronald Reagan.
Dr. Emmett Brown: Ronald Reagan? The actor? Then who's VICE-President? Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady!
Marty McFly: Whoa! Wait! Doc!
Dr. Emmett Brown: And Jack Benny is Secretary of the Treasury.
Marty McFly: Doc, you gotta listen to me.
Dr. Emmett Brown: I've had enough practical jokes for one evening. Good night, Future Boy!
Marty McFly: No, wait! Doc. Doc. The-the-the bruise - the bruise on your head. I know how that happened! You told me the whole story. You were standing on your toilet, and you were hanging a clock, and you fell, and you hit your head on the sink. And that's when you came up with the idea for the Flux Capacitor... Which... is what makes time travel possible....

Sections of hardcore / metalcore / deathcore songs which are rhythmically appropriate for most forms of hardcore dancing (mosh), but not appropriate for two-stepping. In order to be rhythmically appropriate, the music must conform to the following requirements:
1. Tempo: Breakdowns are characterized by tempos in the 65 bpm - 70 bpm range, but also spanning from 50 bpm (double breakdown), to 90 bpm (fast breakdown / stomp breakdown).
2. Content: Breakdowns are further characterized by strong emphasis on rhythm, snares on the 2nd & 4th quarter notes, cymbals on either eighth notes or quarter notes, and kick drum patterns which accent the often staccato guitar playing. Many modifications to this formula can be made (displaced snares, melody), but these modifications tend to detract from the maximum impact of the breakdown.
Because these two requirements must be satisfied, entire songs can be breakdowns, and do not need to contain any fast parts. As well, many slow sections of songs of these genres are not breakdowns, because they do not meet the content requirements.

Pantera is generally recognized as the originator of the breakdown, as featured at approximately 3:52 of "Domination" off Cowboys from Hell. Today, this part of Domination would be recognized as an "old school" breakdown, and only the old timers would hardcore dance to it.

A small wad of toilet paper or tissue jammed up one's nose in order to prevent the nose from dripping. Often used against a running nose during a cold or flu, or against a bleeding nose. The nasal tampon protected the nose from damage by eliminating the need for repeated wiping.
Nasal tampons are left in all day, or until full, and are often used inconspicuously, just like the real thing.

Doctor Acula - Well, Andrew, your prostrate is clean, but I need to talk to you about something. Sit down.
Andrew - Oh no, what's up?
Doctor Acula - There seems to be some kind of growth in your nose; we think it might be cancerous. Here, take a look at this X-Ray.
Andrew - Oh, that. That's just my nasal tampon. My nose kept dripping onto my xbox controller.
Doctor Acula - Get out of my office.

The sexual act of inserting a human head into a vagina. Because the terms "skullfuck" and "mindfuck" are already taken.

Gary - Man, I think that Sammy has a goral fixation; all he wants to do all day is watch scary movies.
Wilma - Gary, I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't try to tell me how to raise my children. Regardless, I'm sure he'll grow out of it by the time he turns 7.
