builds character

A lie that you tell your kids that they can see through even before you finish the sentance.

You: "Shovelling snow builds - "
Kid: "yeah, yeah - give me the damn shovel!"

Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit

I've seen definitions 10,000 "characters" long, but for some reason we're restricted to only 1500 now. Which sucks.

The Super Fucking Obnoxious 1500 Character Limit is the worst thing to happen to this site in a long time... some definitions are meant to be long, people!

Sophia Character Sketch Paradox

In an academic situation: When a friend points out a suggestion for your writing, but being the arrogant person you are, refuse to accept their suggestion, resulting in deducted marks. Afterwards, they will proceed to get mad for the suggestion they were oblivious to and continually vent about it.

Friend 1: Hey, how did you do on the English essay?
Sophia: I lost two marks for not using the word reserved instead of cautious!
Friend 1: But we told you to use that and you didn't listen!
Friend 2: Well, that's the Sophia Character Sketch Paradox in action!

Carcajou

Another name for the wolverine.

I sat in my Jeep, up on a hill, and watched through my binoculars as a 35 pound carcajou took over a caribou carcass from seven 100 pound wolves.

Out Of Character

When a character with an already well defined personality acts in a way that they normally would not. They do or say something that they as a character would not normally say, given the personality the writer has already assigned them. This happens very often when your show/book/story has a self-insert or Mary Sue

“This orc barbarian who has killed 13 dragons just got scared of a bee! Man that seems out of character!”
