The way DC Comics has to give their best stories ever the best edition humanly possible, in the form of slipcased, oversized, big honking hardcover books with loads of DVD-style extras and a tag price of $50, $75 or $100 according to the size of the thing. There's been 14 so far, and more will be coming in the future. Oh, and they weigh so much you can hit someone with them, although the idea is putting them in a big bookshelf besides your signed limited novels and impress the comic geek next door. Not to be read taking a crap.

Get the Absolute Edition mug.An abbreviated version of a textbook that college bookstores and publishers provide students to eliminate the resale market for that specific title. The custom edition usually has the university's name on the cover, further preventing students from reselling the book.
Professors agree to use custom editions because publisher representatives (from companies like Houghton Mifflin, McGraw Hill, and Pearson) tell them the book will be available at a cheaper price point than a student could buy the non-custom edition for. The publisher reps conveniently never include online marketplace price points - so students regularly get screwed.

My professor assigned a custom edition of Campbells Biology. The bookstore was trying to sell me that customized book for $70, but I found the full version of the same book online for $10. The full version is so cheap because people all over the country are buying and selling it, which drives the price down.

Get the Urbandictionary editors mug.A person on Instagram who claims to be an editor but doesn’t add any transitions, effects, colorings, or any retouching of the sort to their clips. Their edits get thousands of views and are very overrated compared to edits that people have actually put effort into. You will most likely see them editing Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction or Cher Horowitz from Clueless. They won’t edit photos because it would be obvious it’s a slideshow. They are basically the “I’m not like the other girls” of editing.
“I am not a slideshow editor! I just like to make my edits simple! Anyways, what song should I use for my Mia Wallace edit, ‘You Know How We Do It’ or “Chamber of Reflections’?”
