telesto

The best weapon in the video game series, Destiny. It's so good, it causes popular twitch streamers to lose their mind and act like childish imbeciles when they get killed by it.

I just got killed by a guardian using Telesto. I shall take to twitter and end this madness.

televangelist politician

A type of politician who strives to present himself to the public in a perfectly coiffed family-man package as he deftly peppers his dogmatic and craftily laundered hate with lots of God-speak.

Ron DeSantis is the the most highly rated televangelist politician at this point in time; stay tuned to this fake-Jesus devotee.

Tucker telephone

A Tucker Telephone is a torture device invented in Tucker State Prison in Arkansas, using the magneto from an old hand-crank telephone. The ground wire was attached to the big toe, the hot wire to the genitals, and crank away. A "long distance call" was an extended series of shocks. The scene depicted in the movie "Brubaker" was a good portrayal of the real practice. "Brubaker" was a realistic portrayal of life in Cummins and Tucker Prison Farms in Arkansas until the prison reforms of Gov. Winthrop Rockefeller. A variation of the Tucker Telephone was used an an interrogation tool in Viet Nam and Abu Graib using stripped-down field telephones. It is still commonly used all over the world.

"Hey, Merle! Prisoner 1531142 jest threw poop on a guard. Let's let him Phone Home on the Tucker Telephone!"

telecine

Telecine is a method to make an illegal bootleg copy of an original movie. Telecine method can be done in various ways, but normally it includes extracting the movie directly from the reel to digital format and then encoded into VCD, SVCD or DivX format. Not to be confused with 'Telesync', defined elsewhere on UrbanDictionary.
Many people in the industry pronounce this word "telli-sin-ee", however, others say it like "telli-seen".

I downloaded a telecine version of that new movie. THe quality is wayyy better than that crappy cam version!

Parents Television Council

The worst people on the planet. They are comparable to the grease on the floor of gas station bathrooms. They think the Government, TV Networks, and everyone else should take care of their kids, except them. They bitch and file their "FCC Indecency Complaints" every time Saturday Night Live accidentally airs an uncensored "Fuck" after Midnight, because "Their Children Are Watching".

" Getting hate mail from the Parents Television Council is like getting hate mail from Hitler. They're literally horrible people."- Seth MacFarlane

telenovela

A soap opera, of Spanish or Latin American origin. Famed for having strange plots, even for soap operas, and some of the worst offenses of overacting ever.

"Fernando, mi amigo! Y Maria, mi mujer! En el cuchi-cuchi! PORQUE, MARIA?!"
"Porque Fernando es muy grande! Y tu eres chiquito!"
