A very dumb person that says really weird things and every time you listen to him your IQ goes down by at least 37.

The female hairstyle involving the bangs being held back straight with a pin or clip in conjuction with a pony-tail. The name is derived from the fact that this hairstyle makes it easier to give head, as the hair does not interfere with the job in question.

See central air.
A heat pump is just like a central air-conditioner when running in COOL mode. However, during the winter months or when it is cold outside, a heat pump has a component called a reversing valve that allows it to reverse the flow of refrigerant. Instead of removing the heat and humidity from the structure and subsequently cooling it as a result, a heat pump extracts ambient heat from the outside air and moves it into the structure. There is heat in the air right down to absolute zero. However, once it gets below freezing, even the newest, most efficient, top-of-the-line heat pumps tend to struggle in terms of heating performance without some sort of backup heat.
In areas where it is almost always warm, like many parts of Florida, a heat pump with no backup heat (gas, oil, electric) is just fine. However, the farther North you go, the more likely you are to need backup heat. Electric strip heat is little more than oversized toaster coils with a fan that blows over them to circulate the heat through the building's ductwork. This will work anywhere in the country, but the farther North you go, the more expensive it is going to be to run it. In parts of the country with really cold winter climates, a heat pump matched up with a gas or oil furnace, or even a hot water boiler, is a very efficient choice, possibly even more efficient than a straight-cool central air-conditioner matched up with a furnace. This is called a hybrid or dual-fuel system.

Those new tract homes in Florida have those efficient heat pumps instead of regular electric heat.
My friend's house in the Pennsylvania has a heat pump, and it sucks at heating when it gets below forty degrees!
My new house has a heat pump and a gas furnace for maximum efficiency

A term used in the Canadian forces to describe a soldier who is utterly useless. Cannot do anything right.

Essentially, Pumping and Dumping refers to chopping and screwing a dubstep song. Much like Dj-Screw chopped dirty south bangers, pumping and dumping lowers the pitch and tempo of the song, and emphasizes the LFO wobbles. It actually resembles Purple more than dubstep. And there is more chopping, to the point where only the skeletal structure of the song is faintly present. This began Sept 22, 2011 and was created by B-Pride.
Yo! You hear that new Caspa joint!? B-Pride pumped and dumped the shit out of that track, that filthy felon!
