n. Possibly the most pointless, irrational form of debate on the Internet today, a YouTube debate is when two or more people get into an argument via the comments section on YouTube. The topics may include politics, Megadeth vs. Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, the paranormal, how VEVO sucks, or perhaps most laughably, gang affiliations. As with your average forum fighter, those who start (or engage in) these debates are often just trolls, but some actually take them seriously, to the point of getting emotional. Also, they generally contain numerous spelling and grammar errors.

1. Looking up your own name on Google to see how famous and popular (or unpopular) you are.

2. Slang for masturbation. Has been referenced at least once in The Vacationeers, an L.A. sketch comedy group.

n. A style of spoken word poetry that is generally used in a competition, known as a poetry slam. Often, as with hip-hop music, the subject matter concerns urban life, crime, drugs, or other inner-city-related subjects. The difference in many cases, however, is that with slam poetry, the words/lyrics are more introspective and creative than your run-of-the-mill hit rap song. Also seems influenced by the Beat Poets, such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.

August Underground's Mordum is an indie exploitation film released by Toetag Pictures in 2003. Designed to look like a snuff film, the movie depicts a fictional love triangle between the lead character from the original August Underground, his insane girlfriend Crusty, and her animal-like brother, Maggot. Numerous horror film sites have listed this film on their top 10 "most disgusting" and/or "most disturbing" lists. Despite many rumors to the contrary, however, it is NOT real!

n. A street near Midtown Atlanta, known for its sex shops, strip clubs, and massage parlors...oh yeah, and there are some great restaurants too. Much more active at night than during the day, of course.

n. Also known as "QDB" or "Quote Database," this is a very popular site listing quotes from IRC and IM conversations. Often the humor stems from someone making a typo, such as "Peking Dick FTW...wait, I mean Peking Duck!" Bash.org is also the site partially responsible for making such 'Net users as bloodninja into Internet celebrities, due to their hilarious trolling efforts. Best read late at night with friends, after consuming large amounts of alcohol or other mind-altering substances.
