birthmasday present

A present that unfortunate kids like me must get when you want something that the family can only afford if you combine your birthday present money with your Christmas present money. Thus, you don't get anything for one of those holidays.
"Dude, how did you get that iPod Touch?"

*sigh* "It was a birthmasday present."

Michael Bay Presentation

Bill: man, did you Ricky's project.

Me: Yeah, I was there, dude.

Bill: Right, right. Wasn't it awesome?

Me: The hell are you talking about? He said nothing about what happens when an atom splits.

Bill: Yeah, but his poster spewed fired.

Me: Who gives a fuck? It was a total Michael Bay Presentation.

Especially true in the art scene.
Hey Joe, did you notice that pretentious asshole hipster that drinks Starbucks, owns more than one Apple product, wears clothes every other hipster wears, and manages to convince herself that she is alternative and therefore superior compared to her peers?
