surface indie
Refers to indie bands or artists that are only obscure in that they have no Top 40 plays or chart hits, but are otherwise at least moderately well-known among music fans. The name comes from the fact that these bands are among the first that people discover when they are getting into indie music, as they are just scratching the surface. Surface indie bands often penetrate the mainstream consciousness from time to time, usually by appearing on TV show or movie soundtracks, or by signing to a major label. Examples include Sufjan Stevens, Belle and Sebastian, and The Decemberists. Smug hipsters will often deride surface indie bands by saying the quality of the music suffers as a result of their increasing popularity (and are especially prone to claiming those bands have sold out), but this is just pointless douchebaggery.
Don't listen to that hipster douchebag who says it gets so much better than Of Montreal. If you enjoy surface indie, then listen to it.

wavedashing
A technique performed by skilled players of Super Smash Bros. Melee. To execute a wavedash, one must make a very short jump into the air, and then move diagonally downward while dodging in midair with the L button. One wavedash by itself is not particularly useful; it is when the move is repeated rapidly that it becomes both impressive and practical.
Wavedashing is most useful for quickly escaping from close combat with an opponent. Also, it can get you from one end of a stage to the other faster than running or jumping. In some instances, it can also be used as a type of taunt, a means of rubbing your skill in an opponent's face.
Any time you are fighting against an opponent who knows how to do the wavedash, chances are good that that person possesses above-average Smash skills.

two and a half men
A sitcom on CBS that, like most sitcoms created by Peter Lorre, is successful despite being shamelessly uninnovative and completely predictable. In it, Charlie Sheen - playing himself, more or less - moves in with his dorky, recently divorced brother (played by Jon Cryer) to help him raise his son. Despite its low ambitions, it is an acceptable viewing choice if nothing else is on. However, its achievements cannot be ignored. Two and a Half Men gave Jon Cryer a role to be remembered for aside from Duckie in Pretty in Pink, and Charlie Sheen singlehandedly revived the popularity of the bowling shirt. Keep your expectations low and you'll probably enjoy it.
I only watched that episode of Two and a Half Men because it just happened to come on the channel I was watching and I couldn't find the remote. It wasn't bad though. Not great, but not bad, either.

monster thickburger
The largest, most fattening burger offered at a Hardee's restaurant. An incredible mountainous heap of bacon, beef, mayonnaise, and cheese. The holy grail of artery-clogging fast food. Contains 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat, as well as ungodly amounts of saturated fat and sodium. PETA's worst nightmare. Not for the health-conscious or faint of heart.
Everyone get in the car, we're going to Hardee's! And bring the defibrillator, honey, 'cause I'm havin' a Monster Thickburger!
