battery+operated+boyfriend+(BOB)

Vibrating dido, A.K.A. 'vibrator'. Called battery operated boyfriend because when you have one you won't want to leave home because you can fuck and stimulate yourself all day long!
My brother's girl left her battery+operated+boyfriend+(BOB) on the porch last night. I found it this morning on my way to work. She needs to keep better track of her bedroom accessories. That was nasty.

Special Military Operation

100% not an invasion. Anyone who conducts a Special Military Operation is an extremely stand up guy and is devoted to world peace with zero intentions whatsoever of starting a war against a sovereign nation. Trust me guys, I am definitely NOT being held at gunpoint by the secret police right now.
I am conducting a Special Military Operation (not an invasion!) to ensure peace in Ukraine.

operation fork

While a popular YouTuber, Tommyinnit, was streaming with a very unpopular YouTuber named Dream, Dream’s younger sister Drista was told to stab Dream with a fork. She did as she was told and now the mcyt fandom goes to “operation fork” when they spot something the fandom as a whole does not like.

Operationalize

A term intended to describe procedures required to implement narrowly defined company strategies and goals, but usually results in the person using the term coming across as a complete twat.
Moving forward, we need to get our key stakeholders on the same page and operationalize these action items into clear deliverables and milestones before a bottleneck forms.

opera

A style of theater/drama in which the characters sing all or most of their lines.

The story is usually simpler than that of movie plots, since it takes longer to sing than to speak. The stories, perhaps melodramatic to our modern eyes, are as varied as movies; from lighthearted, romantic prances ("The Marriage of Figaro", "The Elixer of Love"); heartbreaking romantic tragedies ("La Boheme". "Madame Butterfly", "Aïda"); and some almost x-rated shockers ("Elektra"(much like the Mendez brothers case), "Salome"). Operas are often quite true to life and often deal with some of the most difficult choices that a person can make; matters of life and death, in other words. ...Of course, the plot is much more dramatic than in reality.

Opera relies on voice types (unlike movies, which rely on appearance):

Soprano: highest female voice; plays the heroine, the sweetheart, the victim woman.

Mezzo-soprano: medium female voice; plays the villainess, seductresses.

Contralto: lowest female voice; very rare, usually limited to maids, mothers, grandmothers, and witches.

Tenor: highest male voice: plays the hero, the lover, the doomed hero. Usually romances the soprano.

Baritone: medium male voice; plays the villain, evil prison wardens, and other mean ones.

Bass: lowest male voice; plays priests, kings, fathers, and the Devil.

Opera houses are theaters designed especially for opera... and don't be surprised to find a (rather sexy) tuxedo-clad ghost wandering the dark recesses of the opera house, living his life away on a lake beneath the theater.
Opera is a grim world; there's competition all over for parts... and not to mention some rather unusual situations: tantrums and refusals to do something that the director wants to be staged.

What's the difference between a soprano and a terrorist?
