Straight edge (sometimes abbreviated sXe or with XXX or X) is a subculture of hardcore punk where people refrain from using alcohol, tobacco and other recreational drugs, in a reaction to the excesses of punk subculture. For some, this extends to refraining from promiscuous sex, following a vegetarian or vegan diet, and/or not using caffeine or prescription drugs. The term was from the song "Straight Edge" by the hardcore punk band Minor Threat.
Straight edge became a thing in the amid 1980s hardcore punk scene. Since then, a wide variety of beliefs and ideas have been associated with some members of the movement, including vegetarianism and animal rights. While the commonly expressed aspects of the straight edge subculture have been abstinence from alcohol, nicotine, and illegal drugs, there have been considerable variations on how far to take the interpretations of "abstaining from intoxicants" or "living drug-free".

"Nice! Wait, so you don't want to grab a beer later?"
"Nope. I'm staying clean and drug free for life."

Get the straight-edge mug.A reverse masturbatory technique. Instead of masturbating and bringing yourself to the brink (edge) of orgasm, you simply *don't* masturbate--for months, years, decades, or even centuries... till your are on the verge of implosion, then you release all that pressure all at once on your victim. It often requires extensive training and superhuman dedication, but it's also able to inflict massive damages. Its excruciating training process has caused many backlashes, and it's now renounced by many humanitarian groups. The CIA, however, has allegedly weaponized this forbidden technique and utilized it in black ops. But they are likely not the only government agency that has incorporated such weapons. Rumors suggested that Navy SEALs didn't kill bin laden with a gun, but rather *something else*, namely, the Negative Edging.
Some nerds in the fighting game communities have misused this term to mean releasing of a "button" on some "joystick". while its definition does involve the act of releasing, and some of them may have used it as a sexual innuendo, this technique has been around longer for something far more sinister and evil, and definitely not for games and giggles.

correct: The target has been eliminated by the CIA agent using negative edge.
incorrect: The player prefers to use negative edge to do a command because the sound is quieter upon button releasing than button pressing.
