Peacocked

Back in 1999, members of the football365 football forum (now mostly found at cupwinkcook.com) formed an e-mail group for some of the forummers to send each other the latest e-mail jokes, attachments, etc. in a convenient way.

One member of the group, Peacock (named so after the Leeds United nickname "The Peacocks"), had the rather annoying habit of posting the latest jokes, attachments, etc. after they had already been posted.

This led to the term "Peacocked".

Peacemaker

(1)A song by Green Day. The 9th track on their new album, 21st Century Breakdown.

(2) A really crappy .45 caliber gun. I wouldn't recommend actually using one unless you, for some reason, end up lost in the Old West. Or Hollywood.

(3) Someone who makes peace, or solves a conflict.

(1) P1: I got the new Green Day album today! P2: Me too! It's amazing! P1: What's your favorite track? P2: Peacemaker, definitely! P1: I liked East Jesus Nowhere. *both get into long discussion over what song is best, eventually listing each and every track on the damned CD* (I am guilty of this as well)

(2) Old western movies sometimes use peacemakers, but some don't. The ones that don't are the ones you always see with someone shooting repeatedly into the sky for no reason. They would have to reload after every shot, but you never see that. They just got modern guns and put them in the old west. But does anyone care? No. Why? Hollywood says it's true, it must be true! Bastards.

(3) Person: Help! Help! There's a fight! Someone call the peacemaker!

Peacocked

When you're a big fan of the Premier League and look ahead to the schedule of fixtures for the upcoming gameweek, and see that one or several interesting matches are exclusively on NBC's streaming service "Peacock." This leads to a wide range of possible setbacks, such as an inability to record the game on Cable TV or Fubo, or making the trip out to a pub hoping that they have subscribed to it (or have someone on staff willing to switch from conventional TV to the SmartTV alternative).

"Hey man, trying to catch Chelsea vs. United tomorrow?"

"No doubt, let's check the schedu— ...oh no"

"What...?"

"We got Peacocked... at 5:30 AM"

"Gahhh alright, well can we at least record the ma- oh damnit."

"Yeah, and the pub doesn't open until 7:00."

"We got Peacocked, man..."
