A website ostensibly dedicated to collecting remixes of songs from video games and proving that music composed for video games is as viable and has as much integrity as music composed for any other purpose. However, the songs submitted for approval are judged - and subsequently accepted or rejected (usually the latter) - almost entirely on their production values, with little regard for whether a song is entertaining and fun to listen to or if it would add some variety to the site's overall catalog. Although few would argue that a certain standard is indeed necessary in preventing just any old schmuck from getting a steaming pile of crap posted to the site, one cannot help but sometimes wonder if the members of the judges' panel overanalyze songs to the point of impairing their ability to simply have fun with them. This lends itself to the impression that the judges' panel is an elitist musicians' circle jerk, although such an observation is probably somewhat harsh, as there is no doubt that much of the material on OCRemix, if not nearly all of it, is among the best in terms of musical quality.
The judges' panel rejected a remix Sean made for a game that hadn't been covered on OCRemix yet, but a day later, they posted their umpteen gazillionth Chrono Trigger remix onto the site.

Get the OCRemix mug.A pantomimed high five, performed in unison with someone who is too far away (e.g. across a room) to give you an actual high five.
When the professor announced that class would be canceled, Eric and Nathan gave each other an air five.

Get the air five mug.The mercurial teacher/principal/professor, mentor, and next-door neighbor of Cory and Eric Matthews on the erstwhile TGIF sitcom Boy Meets World. Although an endless fount of sound advice, Feeny was careful never to solve the kids' problems for them outright, allowing them to come to the proper conclusion on their own. Played by William Daniels, who provided the voice of K.I.T.T., the talking car on Knight Rider.

Get the George Feeny mug."These nuggets don't quite taste like chicken..."
"That's because they're not chicken, they're chik'n."
"Oh....."
*takes out of mouth, drops in trash can*

Get the chik'n mug.Acknowledging a waiter/waitress by telling them what a good job they did serving your table. Often used by old people and usually unaccompanied by a monetary tip.
I wish I could have told those old people off for the verbal tipping they gave me, but they were just so nice I didn't have the heart.

Get the verbal tipping mug.The first American Idol reject to gain widespread fame. Hung, an engineering major at Berkeley, turned in a horrendous rendition of Ricky Martin's She Bangs at his audition and was roundly rejected by the judges. Despite this setback to his singing career, he was signed to a record deal and released one album, Inspiration, a collection of covers sung by Hung and peppered with occasional words of wisdom. To this day, many are still unsure whether Hung was a savvy genius with an almost supernatural ability to mock his own self-image or just a naive fool who truly believed he was talented.

Get the William Hung mug.A column on the AV Club, a website spun off from The Onion that focuses on pop culture. It is written by Amelie Gillette and usually updates once a day on a M-F schedule. Although she occasionally shows biting wit, many of her subjects are just fish in a barrel, and would be better off ignored than having such vast reserves of negative energy wasted on their idiocy. She appears to possess an especially extreme hatred for Dane Cook and Zach Braff.
