GIF

A hopelessly outdated image format that is nowadays mostly used for animated pictures. Has ridiculous limitations such as a maximum of 256 colors and inefficient compression but keeps being used because none of the superior alternative formats ever caught on. Also, nobody seems to be able to agree on the pronounciation, for some reason.

Person: Woah, nice GIF you got there. Sucks you can see so much banding from those pesky color limitations.
GIPHY: So, are you gonna use a GIF in your definition or not?
Person: Nah, wouldn't be caught dead using one of those things. It's not like GIPHY even really uses GIFs. They're all just looped MP4s.

Urban Dictionary

My favorite place to write negative definitions for words I don't like or to sneak inside jokes into definitions even though they say not to do it.

Imagine using Urban Dictionary as a legitimate dictionary lmao. Half the definitions are about sex and the other half are about politics.

metroidvania

A garbage term for a genre that was created entirely by Metroid and for which Castlevania deserves no credit for. """Metroidvania"""s are characterized by their open world environments and their use of upgrades that slowly make more areas of the map accessible. Most games in the genre are two-dimensional.

Gamer: Look at my new Metroidvania game!
Other gamer: Please just call it a Troidlike or whatever...

this generation

The worst generation of them all. It's been known for centuries and centuries that this generation sucks. Thankfully, once a new generation arrives to take up the title, it stops being the newest generation and can take up the title of cultured and knowledgeable.

Boomer: This generation is the worst by far!
Zoomer: Don't worry, once the next generation is born you'll realize how cultured and knowledgable we are.

purty

Dumbfuck way of saying "pretty". You only save one character, no syllables and it's not even pronounced the same way as "pretty".

It don't steer so good, but it be purty fast.

Giphy

A website that pretends it has all of the best GIF files even though they're really looped MP4s.

Giphy: Look at all our GIF files! We swear they're not MPEG4-encoded video files!
