True Metal

Music in the style of heavy metal or one of its sub-genres that is written, performed, and recorded for no other reason than that it rules. Thus, heavy-metal-style music written specifically for commercial success cannot be considered "true," and is instead false metal. This does not necessarily mean that the false metal is not enjoyable to listen to, but it does mean that it is not metal.

It is possible for bands that were once true to become false, most famously Metallica. The reverse is also true, although it is much rarer.

A good rule of thumb in distinguishing true metal from false metal is to check Metal Archives. If a band/artist is listed, they either are or were true metal.

The term is also occasionally used to describe old-school, straight forward heavy metal, as opposed to one of the sub-genres.

True Metal: Manowar, Iron Maiden, Mayhem, Death, Helloween, Blind Guardian, pre-Black Album Metallica

False Metal: Most nu-meta bands, post-Black Album Metallica

True Romance

The best date movie ever. It is about a guy, Clarence (Christian Slater) who marries a prostitute, Alabama (Patricia Arquette). Slater kills her pimp and goes to get her belongins back, only the bag he thinks is hers is actually the mob's cocaine.

The reason it is the best date movie ever is because it has lots of pretty cool romance for her and sweet action and gangsta shit for him.

Easily the best bathroom fight scene ever.

Scene from True Romance:

Clarance: "That guy there in the black is Sonny Chiba, he's been paid to fuck this other dude up."
Alabama: "So he's the good guy?"
Clarance: "He ain't so much a good guy as just a bad motherfucker."

True Or False

A rhetorical question often used by douchebags to state facts. The correct answer is usually 'true'.

1.

Greg - "True or false: I banged Cindy last night!"

Herbert - "Uh... True"

Greg - "Yeah! True! High-Five!"

2.

Fred - "True or False, Camels have three eyelids on each eye?"

Pam - "False!"

Fred - "Nope, true!

true reaction

Showing how you really feel. A reaction that once seen, is known to be the truth.

As soon as Alex saw Madison's hair, she had that "oh shit" look on her face. "You can't make this better," Madison said, "I know that was your true reaction."

True colours

True colours is a really nice compliment! You usually say it to people who stand out and show there thoughts and feelings! It can also be an insult. You could say to someone that there true colours are showing or shining through. This means they might be pretending to be nice but inside are not!

Positive way : Emily your true colours are showing!
Thank you Kate
Negative way : Draven your true colours are showing I cannot believe you!
I'm so sorry Kate!
