hollow point

A normal bullet is made out of lead and then coverd in a think layer of copper or brass. This type of bullet will do a reasonable job of holding its shape when it hits something, so you get more penetration but less energy transferd to the target, since if the bullet goes through the energy is lost. A hollow point bullet has the tip removed, exposing the soft lead center, imagine a watermelon with the round part cut off, thats what a hollow point looks like. This increases the amount of energy transferd to the person being shot and thus increase the amount of damage done. The bullet will expand and flatten out like a mushroom inside the target. They are technically forbidden by the Hague Convention of 1899 but are the most widly used pistol ammunition by police and civilians in the USA.

The bullets carried in most guns are hollow point.

10 Point Scale

The ascending scale at which men judge other women.

1 being the lowest value, 10 being the highest.

Can be affected and altered due to many different situations, including alcohol, various hallucinogens, states of depression, horniness, et cetera.

Interestingly enough, the scale will vary from male to male.

"Yo check out that 8.7 man, 1 o'clock."

"All's I see is a 6.5 on my 10 Point Scale, chach.

cool points

Is a system of points that reflect a person's popularity or social ranking. One is awarded cool points for doing something stupid or a completely mindblowing act (such as banging mark's mom or eating a baby) due to the fact that the person has either low self esteem or because his friends are complete doushe bags. Also High 5's and Negg's play quite a role in the cool ponts system. When one recieves a high 5, he is awarded usually 10 cool points. But when someone is disgraced with a Negg, they have 10 cool points subtracted. After one has banked up 100 cool points he is thought to be quite a cool fellow and his self esteem is quite high. But when someone has
-100 cool points they are diagnossed with AIDs and are thought of as sluts who give fat chicks sex.

Friend 1: Dude, i dare you to bang mark's sister
Friend 2: OKAY!
**Some time passes**
Friend 2: **Shows Friend 1 Mark's Sister's Pantys**
Friend 1: DUDE!!! U get like 1000 cool points for this
**The friends exchange congradulatory High 5's**
