angel investor

An individual who invests in a company during its start-up phase; a financial supporter in the early stages of a corporation's existence.

An 'angel' is a winged creature from heaven who is supposed to help you when you are in danger. An 'angel investor' is someone who provides money for young businesses that really need it. The phrase was first used to describe wealthy patrons who kept Broadway plays on stage despite a lack of profits.

The company never would have survived without the backing of its angel investors.

No Humans Involved

In the 1980s of America, police in LA used to refer to the murders of prostitutes, gang members, and drugs addicts (majority black and in poverty) as NHI, "No Humans Involved." This attitude is still prevalent today.

Norse Invader

1. (v) When a man and woman are having sex in the wheelbarrow position in the front lawn or front porch, then as the man climaxes he grabs the woman's torso and charges at the front door smashing his partner through the door headfirst.

Olga has a pretty bad neck injury from the Norse Invader that Sven gave her last week.

Invader Zim

An often random children's show created by Jhonen Vasquez, the force behind such great comics as Jhonny the Homocidal Maniac and Squee. It centered around a green alien named Zim who was sent out on a phony mission by his leaders The Tallest to conquer Earth along with a reject robot named GiR. The series lasted only 38 episodes despite the large fanbase and hillarity of the show. Several rumors have been circulating about the show's cancelation, such as an older target audience and a lawsuit by parents after their children read Johnny the Homocidal Maniac, a book Jhonen did not intend for younger audiences.

Inverurie

Town in the North East of Scotland like Aberdeen built of granite but unlike Aberdeen not populated by scummy toonsers.

By far the centre of the entire universe. Home of rich English wankers and violent wankers. Dont go out on the weekend unless you want to be battered by 40 and 50 year olds who think there still 16. The local school produced true Scottish heroes like Richard Arnold, Peter Nicol and that boy Callum who shoved a toilet brush up his arse and had a wank over gay porn.....in his work toilets. Barry Robson also went there but he died as a Scot the day he signed for Celtic.

Inverurie is my home and truly the greatest place in the entire world, kicks the shite oot of any other North East town especially Meldrum, Rothie and the cunts in Kemney

Person:Want to go out in Inverurie on Saturday?
Second Person: Aye i am tired of living anyway

Invisible Lat Syndrome

The awkward stance that some males take in order to swell their chest in a ridiculous attempt at make non existing muscle seem present. Generally, the arms are lifted away from the body as if huge lat muscles were pushing them away. The author thinks that looking wide is the same as being wide and believes women will not see the difference.

Dave: Look at that skinny dude over there, he has no muscles but he is swelling himself up like a peacock!

Steve: Yeah he's got invisible lat syndrome, or ILS, common among douchbags who are too lazy to workout for their muscles!

Invader Zim

was one of the most awesome shows on TV. about a little green alien whos leaders want to get rid of him. they send him on a "secret mission" hoping he'll die along the way. Now, he thinks hes sent to conqour earth with his robot slave Gir (cutest thing ever). He enrolls into a local school and only a large headed crazy boy named Dib can see through his crappy disguise.

Tallest: didnt we banish you to foodcourtia?

Zim: oh I quit when I found out about this!

Tallest: you quit being banished!?
