Gian-of-all-trades

Previously, coined as "Jack-of-all-trades," a NEXT level of skill and precision has been established. One step above Jack.

Gian is a subject matter expert in all areas. Basically, he can do all that Jack can do and add do it even better. Is your car leaking oil? He can repair your car. Is your printer on fire? He can put out that fire. Is your child playing near an alligator? He can save your baby AND become best friends with that alligator. Don't you worry, just get someone who is a Gian-of-all-trades if you find yourself in a rut.
When you create a character class where all the skills are maxed out, that character was created as the Gian-of-all-trades.

Rage Trade

For sport Fantasy Teams, such as Premier League Fantasy Football (English Football/Soccer). Trades that are made straight after seeing either a player you have in your team does not play/does something stupid, or seeing a player you were thinking about getting into your team go off-tap and score a bajillion points.

Usually made while the gameweek is still going or barely finished.

A viable strategy in fantasy leagues.
Did you see Jerome last night? I made a rage trade this morning to get him into my side, pity I miss out on those 12 points.

I rage traded Drogba out of my side after he put the ball into the back of Saha's head for, what I'm calling, an own goal.

Trad Goth

The original style of goth that developed in the 80's. Fashion, make-up, accessories, and hair are a mix of vampire style, punk, glam, and BDSM. Articles of clothing can include fishnet shirts, mesh tops, fishnet stocking, vinyl pants, skirts, and tops, trench coats, military jackets, funerary clothes, zoot suits, and leather jackets. Nearly all trad goths sport the ever classic and varied styles of teased, backcombed dark hair. Classic inspirations on trad goth styles are: Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, Siouxsie Sioux, Robert Smith, Simon Gallup, Johnny Slut, Olli Wisdom, and Patricia Morrison.
Sitting around under a shady tree in the park on a hot sunny day are a group of goths of varying styles. When suddenly, the notice a goth whom they had never seen before walking his dog.

Victorian goth: He's certainly an unusual fellow....I don't think I recall seeing him around before.

Colonial goth: Is he a goth? He certainly gives that vibe. But kind is he?

Death Rocker: His hair is all teased up and sort of spikey but without the gel.

Rivethead/Industrialist: He's wearing a dark trench coat.

Corperate goth: Yes, but he's wearing a white dress-up shirt underneath.

Cybergoth: But look what's underneath the shirt! Why it's a meshtop!

Victorian goth: But what sort of goth is he?? He has so many mixed styles!

Romantic goth: Oh! I know what type of goth he is! I just remembered! He is what is known as a "Trad Goth". The originator of all the other gothic subtypes from the 80's!

The other goths sit there in amazement.
