Trigger Warning

A trigger warning is a phrase included before a story, video, picture, etc. It's used to warn people of triggering words or pictures. For example, if someone has PTSD or MDD, this could be posted if it uses suicidal thoughts, or a traumatic experience. Some people say this is for oversensitive people, but is actually very useful if the story/picture/video has actual triggering words/scenes/thoughts. Can also be abbreviated to TW.

trigger warning

A trigger warning is when something may make you feel emotional, like mad and upset
So at the start of a text, video, etc it my say 'trigger warning', it alerts the viewer that the content may make them feel ashamed, have a break down, etc.
the moral is that if you see trigger warning, just be prepared that your emotions may escape your mind :)
Example
If a video says trigger warning it may show suicide content, death content, racism, rape, etc

ten minute warning

The warning you give somebody, when you see them walking into the same bathroom you've just come from, immediately after taking a nasty shit. Ten minutes is the alloted time it usually takes for a bathroom to air out, before it becomes usable for someone else.
"Man, that fucking stinks! Would it have killed you to have given me a ten minute warning, first?"

Warning Shot

When you are doing a girl doggie style and you are about to jizz on her back, you pull out and aim high for your first rope. This will sail over her head and serves as notice that there is a sticky load headed her way.
