Deus Ex Machina

Dates from ancient Greek times, where "deus ex machina" ("god from the machine") in a play referred to the act of lowering a god on stage using a cable device (therefore, a god from a machine) to decide in a dilemma and give fate a nudge, so to say.

These days, deus ex machina has the negative connotation of an utterly improbable, illogical or baseless plot twist that drastically alters the situation, as if the "deus ex machina" came down to give fate that little push.

I liked the movie, but the ending was total crap...they could've come up with a better way to beat the villain than the deus ex machina ending of that guy miraculously coming back to life.

michigan left

On divided highways, a michigan left is the act of making a right onto a road, getting into the far left lane and making a left through a paved U-Turn to go left again. It's the only way to go left in a lot of parts of Michigan.

I was on Rochester Road in Troy and had to make a Michigan Left to get back on big beaver.

detroit beach, michigan

Heroin capital of Michigan. Detroit beach, like surrounding woodland beach and all the other beaches near it are home to the largest heroin addiction within the Midwest.

Often times, the residents are also pedophiles which is apparent due to the local sex offender registry. The average person has ten kids with ten different people and at least twelve needles spread throughout the floor of their home at any given time.

The population consists of more drug addicts than people,including dogs and the drug addicted fish in the lake from all the needle disposals.

Also home to the largest party slut population in the county, even rivaling the likes of Newport.

Tim : Yeah I went out to Detroit beach, michigan the other day, was going to swim but there were needles scattered like land mines all up and down the sand

Bob : Oh what a shock, somebody would probably molest your kids too out that way

Deus Ex Machina

1. An unexpected power or event saving a seemingly hopeless situation, especially as a contrived plot device in a play or novel.

2. A bullshit way of saving a character in a movie, novel, or play.

1. Man- The bet Peter made in the end of Dodgeball: An Underdog Story is such bullshit Deus Ex Machina!

2. The whole "love" thing from Harry Potter.

Machine Hopper

One who machine hops, or people at the gym that are really fucking annoying. And all they do is switch to random machines and do 1-3 reps and 1 set. It also sucks working out with them because they keep on bothering you to switch machines to the point where you want to shoot yourself, and they also wonder off when you tell them to spot you. These people are usually weak.

Me: Hey buddy, spot me.
Machine Hopper: Alright.
*wonders off to a different machine
*Bar falls on me and I can't lift it up
Me: Where the fuck are you doing, I told you to spot me!
Machine Hopper: I'm sorry!
*Lifts bar up
Me: Well sorry isn't enough.
*Beats the shit out the machine hopper
*Machine hopper cries and falls off a building
