Headline Speak 

Speaking with extreme brevity, in the way of a news headline. A natural shift in language for the Gen Y gang who thrives on Tweets, Emot-icons, and Vanity Plates.
Instead of saying, "It has been discovered that Captain John Smith engaged in sexual relations with a Native Indian woman known as Pocahontas", I used my Headline Speak and said, "Captain Boned a Native".

headier-than-thou 

A person who is headie or heady or a head (ie into the jamband scene) and believes they are better than other fans because they have been to a large number of shows, tour extensively, know a great deal of statistics by heart, wear a lot of patchwork, or are extensively organic--anything to do with the jamband scene. Essentially a jamband snob.
Just as “holier-than-thou,” is a word one would use to describe someone who believes they are better than others for their moral points of view, the person who is “headier-than-thou” thinks s/he is better than other fans because of their level of “fan-ness,” or at least this is what other heads believe the “headier-than-thou” person is communicating through their behavior.

That guy won't shut up about how many Phish shows he's been to. He is so "headier-than-thou."

Headline Shirts 

The newest addition of T-shirt ads to Urbandictionary, normally advertising with the header "Intelligently Funny Tees". Similar to Noise Bot and Snorgtees, they have jokes on them that invariably fail to be humorous.

Saw this on one of those Headline Shirts the other day. For fuck's sake, someone call the failtrain.

hardliner 

A person who takes a simple decision not to do drugs and turns it into an obsessive militant and ocasionally violent and loud lifestyle that revolves around hating drugs. In the closed-mind of a hardliner, drugs are wholly evil (sometimes not backed up by any real evidence and definitely not backed up by any firsthand experience) and all recreational drug users are stupid, worthless, bad people who belong in jail or dead. Known to defend their claims that marajuana is the worst thing in existence even when presented with evidence that it isn't actually harmful and that people who ocasionally smoke it can actually hold down a job and make some contributions to society (which is in stark contrast to their beliefs)
A hardliner is somebody who thinks harboring an irrational deep-seated hatred towards all recreational drug users is a healthy alternative to doing drugs.

(noun) one who procrastinates until the actual deadline of a task or project.
Guy1: Isn't your term paper due tomorrow?
Guy2: Yeah...
Guy1: Why aren't you working on it?
Guy2: I'll work on it tomorrow...
Guy1:You're such a deadliner. You'll never get it done.

Those hardliners need to lighten up. They take music way too seriously.
