Organic wasta 

"Wasta" means "network" or "connections" in Arabic, usually in the context of finding a job. It has a negative connotation because most view it as kissing ass or schmoozing with the right people to get to the job/position/salary you want. It's also seen as cutting corners through a job application process if you know a guy high up to help you out.

But organic wasta is free from impurities: it's a genuine connection made with someone who decides later to help you out, for e.g. meeting people through friends, or at a wedding, etc.

A colloquial and quick way of saying "what's up though"? Originating in Richmond Hill, Ontario, the suburbs north of Toronto (aka the 6), this word was originally designed to show how people from the hood come up with new words by mispronouncing, combining, and rapidly mumbling a series of words. It can be used to greet homies or to display supremacy when you accomplish something over someone else

"Nuclear horseradish." An extremely spicy condiment of Japanese origin, made from the root of the wasabi plant, ranking just below uranium in terms of destructive potential. Allowing any more than twelve molecules of this pungent spice to touch your tongue will cause your head to explode. Well, it will feel like that anyway. When used correctly, good for cleaning out the sinuses and warding away unwelcome guests. Wasabi is available in paste or powder form.

Commonly used in sushi, but also in various other dishes including sashimi, or to flavor udon, soba, ect. Keep away from the eyes. Do not inhale. Do not attempt to feed to pets. If you exceed the recommended dosage (approx 1/4 teaspoon) seek medical help immediately, lest your intestines disintegrate.
Much of the 'wasabi' available in European nations and the Americas is total crap and isn't much spicier than pepper. You'll know it's the real stuff when you start breathing flames and your appendix explodes.
