converse all stars

There was a time where if you wore converse you were really alternative, now however, the chavs of the world have discovered them and walk about thinking they are cool in their pink pair. Then you get the wannabes, they dont know who they 'wannabe' but they sure as hell are trying to be them, thinking they are the first ones to wear them, then buy a pair in every colour. Rock on!

Go on, buy a pink sparkly pair, you know you want to!

converse

Daddy's old basketball shoes. Now bought by teenaged girls wanting to be "retro". Often worn with clothes bought from American Eagle.

Old Guy: I used to wear converse when I played b-ball with the boys...
Teenaged Girl: Whatever. I'm going to the mall to buy new shoes.

torque converter

The device used in a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. Used to change gears, taking the place of a clutch, in a manual transmission. Has many downfalls, but commonly used in the United States because, sadly, no one can drive stick anymore. For example, the hydraulic fluid can be starved on hills, leading to transmission failure. While pulling large loads, the converter may overheat, which is why it is not used for large trucks. Robs the engine of power, as power is lost in the conversion process. Fuel efficiency is also lost, same reason as above. Excessive repair costs, as the fluid in the converter is required to be replaced every so often.

Torque converters make baby seals cry.

Let's Converse

What you say when you want to cut the crap in a conversation.
This phrase will usually appear in an MSN Messenger conversation to skip all of the usual

- Hey
- Hi
- How are you ?
- Good you ?
- Good thanks wubu2 ?
- nm you?
- nm

By saying these two words, you save around 30 seconds of your life for every msn conversation.

- Hey
- Hi
- How are you ?
- Let's Converse
- Sounds good.

converse

the best kind of shoes ever. you can customize them to your hearts desire. they come in a range of colors and patterns. not to long ago they were strictly worn by rockers, grunge, emo, ect.... people, but now-a-days everyone wears them. other shoe companies got jealous and decided to make a cheep ugly rip off -_-. recently the price on the SKYROCKETED! i used to get a plain, good quality pair for $16 but now i got a little fancier pair for $70! HOLY SHIT MAN! yah wanna know why? FLIPPIN NIKE! they were jealous too so they bought 'em out. anyways converse came out in 1908 and were the first b-ball shoe. (made by chuck taylor)

2000: *me in shoe city* hey mommy can i get a pair of converse? they are the bestest. ($16)
2009: HOLY CRAP MOM! $70?!!!! WTH? what has the world come to? *cries*
