Abdool

A corruption of "Abdul". A portmanteau of "Abd" meaning Slave in Arabic and "Fool". A term popularized by Christian apologist Christian Prince to refer to Muslims who are impenetrable to common sense and reason.

Abdool! Potato! The evidence is on the screen. Are you illiterate? Read it!

Green Abalone

First exemplified by the original Green Abalone, The Green Abalone has now evolved into a concept, extending to all those who are true to themselves, and are not afraid to stand out from the crowd as a result.

Her Pikachu backpack says Pika in four different ways when pressed on the side. What a Green Abalone!

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Abandon All Ships

What happens when Tiesto, Basshunter and Armin Van Buuren ask Cher to join their new band, Emmure.

Actual members are:
Angelo Aita - screams/growls
Martin Broda - clean vocals
Sebastian Cassisi-Nunez - synths & keyboards
Daniel Ciccotelli - lead guitar
Chris Taylor - drums

Hailing from Toronto, currnetly signed to Rise. Music generally consists of auto-tuned choruses, gated/distorted screams, power chords and electronic breakdowns with arpeggiated synth leads. So far they've released 2 albums on Rise: Geeving (2010) and Infamous (2012).

Some good songs IMO: Megawacko 2.1, Take One Last Breath, Less Than Love, American Holocaust, Bro My God

Most people judge Abandon All Ships for their excessive use of auto-tune, "bad" screaming (they'd know) and techno-ish breakdowns, but i personally like their music.

Abayo

A word that is used to replace 'sayonara' ("goodbye") or 'matane' ("see you soon") at the end of a sentence in colloquial Japanese speech. It can be translated into English as "see ya" or "catch ya later".

It is part of the Tokyo Shitamachi dialect and used to be a very popular informal slang expression used primarily by boys and men until sometime ago. Its usage has declined in the past 20 years.

Contrary to what the previous poster has written, it is not necessarily a rude way to say "bye" or only used when you are angry at someone. Although (just like most slang words) if used in the proper context it may be interpreted as being dismissive or sarcastic.

(in typical colloquial Tokyo Japanese):
"Ore uchi ni kairu kara matta ashita na. Abayo!"

Translation: "I am going to go home now so i'll see you tomorrow. See ya!"
