tour de stade

Literally: "tour of stadium"
This is when you, in the words of Jack from Lost, "run all the steps in every section of a stadium up and down."

Jack: It was a Tour de Stade.
Sarah: What?
Jack: When you run all the steps in every section of a stadium up and down.
Sarah: Why would you do that?
Jack: I'm intense.
Sarah: Did you finish?
Jack: No, I hurt my ankle.
Sarah: That sucks for you.

Stardenburdenhardenbart

A meme and made up word that originated from a TikTok about calling cats in different languages. The person in the video used "stardenburdenhardenbart" to call for a german cat, which lead to people believing it's a german word and other people even claiming it had a specific meaning. It is, however, not a german word, nor does it have any meaning in the german language, it's just german "sounding" gibberish.

Person: "Hey, if I call that cat "stardenburdenhardenbart" and it comes over, that means it's a german cat, right?"
German: "Call it what? That's not even a word!"
Person: "Well, I saw it in a TikTok so it must be real."

Izzy Stradlin

The unsung hero of Guns N' Roses. Was the rhythm guitarist until he left during the Use Your Illusion tour. Was a good guitarist, just didn't feel like doin' solos like Slash. It could be said that GNR could be separate into an Izzy era and a no Izzy era, since the stuff made when he was there was great and afterwords it sucked. It's a shame that no one knows who he is now.

Izzy Stradlin wrote the lyrics and/or music for these songs:

Nightrain
Mr. Brownstone
Paradise City
Think About You
Dust N' Bones
You Ain't the First
Double Talkin' Jive
Don't Cry

You Could Be Mine
etc.

Lifestyle Maintenance Strategist

Refers to people who are in well-paid, cosy, cushy jobs - who don't actually do any real work but are exceptionally talented at justifying their own worthless jobs, wasting money and making sure that whatever happens their own job stays justified and safe so that they can maintain their own cushy lifestyles. Good at feathering their own nests and shitting in other people's.

Lifestyle maintenance strategists are usually 'precious' but deluded people who highly rate their own value or worth. They'd be laughed off a building or construction site.

Most often represented by non technical managers and executives found in British public sector departments where jobs are not 'proper jobs'; for example Public Health manager or consultant.

Work actvities include Google time; blue sky thinking; journal club; wasting large amounts of tax payers money, running sexual health campaigns that cost £50,000 with an outcome of 19 Chlamydia tests; meetings with lots of nice tea and biscuits about work programmes that last 18 months at which a poster is finally triumphantly produced which could have taken a college student their lunch hour to come up with; the finance available to buy lifestyle designer gadgets and possesions so that they can feel smug and superior - for example owning an electric car or designer boiler; making sure that meetings finish by 4pm so the they can get away to the gym, running club, or fictious Tarquin Tombola's dinner party to which only other lifestyle maintenance strategists are invited. Colluding together (often at Tarquin Tombola's dinner parties or covens) to get rid of employees who are good at their jobs and who might expose them for the lying, worthless sociopaths that they are.

cheese strategy

noun. Gaming. A strategy that seeks to provide means for overcoming a challenge (e.g. a boss fight) not by engaging with the challenge itself but rather by bypassing it altogether. It is oftentimes exploitative of a game's mechanics, taking advantage of oversights in game balance made by the developers to easily deal with an obstacle.

Cheese strategies trivialize challenging content, by either speeding the process up immensely to eliminate the challenge or by making it nigh impossible to fail (e.g. through creating means to infinitely heal oneself). One could distinguish between "fast cheese" and "slow cheese".

Not to be confused with glitch exploits. Cheese strategies always work within the bounds of the game.

A: Hey, I just can't beat this boss, this one move just kills me every time.
B: Oh yeah, I struggled with him too. But there's this cheese strategy using this set of armor and a combination of potions that makes you pretty much invincible so I managed to get past him.
