dead beat dad

A man who does not pay child support and/or maintain regular contact with his children. Or a bum who, though still sleeping with the mother, does nothing to contribute to the household either financially or by taking care of the home/children. Often an abusive man or an addict. Always lazy and self absorbed.

My mother had to garnish my dead beat dad's paycheck, but we still never hear from him.

Dead Genius Award

Fictional award bestowed upon individuals whose genius has become exaggerated as a result of their untimely death, usually before the age of 30. The award is usually presented by individuals who realise that music fans, the music industry and media often get carried away, mistakenly believing that any musician who dies young was a genius. Those bestowing the imaginary award are also able to entertain the idea that a musician who died young might have gotten fat, old or made a crap album. There is no official ceremony for the award as it is fictional and is often allocated during pointless conversations between friends. Many a Dead Genius Award is awarded each year with no official committee to decide who most deserves the award. This is mainly out of respect for the friends and family of the dead.
Candidates for the award include Tupac Shakur, Kurt Cobain and Jeff Buckley.

Person A: 'Dang, Nirvana weren't actually THAT good were they?'
Person B: 'Nah mate, i think Kurt's up for a dead genius award dont you?'

dead-enders

Rummy-speak, circa late 2003, for the isolated Sadam loyalists who oppose U.S. occupation and take RPG target practice on our boys. Apparently a large club.

Rumsfeld dubbed the insurgents who are making life so difficult for coalition forces, Iraqi authorities and anyone caught in the cross fire "dead-enders," losers from Saddam Hussein's regime with nothing left to do but go down fighting. Time Magazine 11/16/2003

dead cat bounce

Wall Street expression describing the phenomenon of a stock or share bottoming out to near zero and then recovering with a sharp buying spree from bargain hunters: the notion being that even a dead cat will bounce if dropped from a high-enough point.

Your stock prices going up is no more than a dead-cat bounce: it doesn't have the juice to stay up.

Dreadlock Theory

The theory that states that, in the modern day era of football, a teams defense is not elite unless at least one defensive back has dreadlocks.

Tom: The Jets defense is gonna be awesome!
Dave: I don't know man, your betting against the dreadlock theory.
