content warning

acts similarly to a trigger warning, but for content that is not as graphic or that is mentioned only in passing.

That article needs a content warning at the beginning for a brief discussion of violence.

Four Minute Warning

A warning of an impending Nuclear attack on the United Kingdom, which would be given if one was detected by Radar at RAF Fylingdales in Yorkshire. During the Cold War, The British Government estimated that if an air attack was launched from the then Soviet Union, there would only be four minutes to respond (possibly even less).

What would happen was if an attack was confirmed, the warning would be given either by RAF High Wycombe (Near London) or Longley Lane (Near Preston). This would be forwarded to Fighter command, the police and the media.

The Police would get the message, "Attack Warning RED" over the same telephone lines as thosed used for the Speaking Clock, then activate the air attack sirens over local telephone lines. The rationale was that in using the speaking clock, it cut running costs and allowed a fault to be detected in time to give a warning.

The media would simultaneously interrupt programming to transmit a warning message teling the public to take cover, which was to be broadcast on all television and Radio stations. The actual message itself was recorded by the chief continuity announcer of BBC Radio 4, Peter Donaldson. It was accompianied by "Dalek" music and strong pulses of light. The existence of this warning message was officially confirmed by the British government on New Years Day 2006, even though it was an open secret in the BBC.

The Four Minute Warning was much derided by critics as completely pointless, as surviving a nuclear strike was neither possible or desireable.

Warya

A tribal and legendary exclamation that is only to be screamed by the noblest of people. This heavenly vocal piece originates from the majestic land of Somalia and is said only by the one true king. When you hear this, it is said chills are sent are up your spine and the very earth shakes to its vibrations. Be warned that when it is screamed that the great Somali ancestors and past kings will transfer their energy into the minds of all and the entire population will join in. The chant is only to be led by the lucozade drinking king who inherits this power from his father.

Person: Oy im gonna rob your lunch money
King: You wouldnt want to do that
Person: Why not? - proceeds to do it anyway-
King: WARYA
Person: -Faints, and body is evaporated-
Teachers: Aw shit here we go again
Earth: -Rumbles-

warning label

Warning labels are labels put on most products by companies to protect idiots from injuring themselves, and to prevent retards from filing frivolous lawsuits against them.

12 year old Billy died because he thought drinking drain cleaner would be a good idea. His parents tried to sue on account for their childs stupidity, but the company pointed out the obvious "do not swallow" warning label.

Someone who makes you smile when u are feeling down.

My girlfriend held me close after my pet hamster passed away. She made me smile with her words of comfort and her loving arms. She is a warnock.

Warney

Inappropriately horny...

Based on a combination of Australian Cricketer Shane Warne's surname (who is constantly getting busted for extra marital affairs) mixed with the word horny (which Shane always seems to be)

Shane was feeling so warney that he had to bone an inflatable sex doll whilst he waited for the stripper to reply to his SMS
