the verse

the Uiverse as described in the series Firefly created by Joss Whedon

No power in the verse can stop me. (Said by Mal first then Kaylee, but River adopted it after she single-handedly stopped Niska's men from boarding Serenity.)

Lil Jon-versation

A conversation in a bar that is so loud that the people having the conversation can't hear each other well enough, so they simply start responding with the responses of "WHAT", "YEAH", and "OKAY."

As a result, the conversation begins to resemble a song by hip-hop / rap artist Lil Jon.

An example of a "Lil Jon-versation," as described taking place at a crowed, loud dance club:
A-"DO YOU WANT A BEER?!?"
B-"WHAT?!?"
A-"I SAID DO YOU WANT A BEER?!?"
B-"YEAH!"
A-"OKAY!"
...Person A Goes to Bartender...
A-"TWO BEERS, PLEASE!"
C-"WHAT?"
A-"I SAID, TWO BEERS, PLEASE!"
C-"OKAY! WHAT KIND?"
A-"WHAT?!?"

Versasexual

Defined by a sexual attraction or acceptance of partnership of both one side and another.
The name is derived from the term “vers” as well as the phrase “vice versa.”

Will be with:
Boy AND Girl
Cis AND Trans
Binary AND Non-binary
Top AND Bottom
Dom AND Sub
Monogamy AND Polygamy

While this may sound like pan, it’s different in how it applies to a broader range of scenarios than just the sex of the person.
Also, it means that a Versasexual does care about the sex, while pan is defined as being okay regardless of sex.
While the other sexuality terms rely solely on the sex/gender of the person, Versasexual displays versatility in not just that, but other aspects of a sexual relationship.

I’m Versasexual. I’ll sleep with any gender, top or bottom, dom or sub. I’m the Swiss Army knife of sex.

Verschlimmbesserung

An attempted improvement that makes things worse than they already were. This is a very common German expression which has no good translation in English. It is pronounced "Fair-shleam-besser-oonk" (schlimmer = worse, besser = better).

The recent Facebook update is another Verschlimmbesserung.

verse-icide

The Extermination of one or more universes (including parallels & multi-verses)

It is occasionally practiced by scientific geniuses who are artificially-voiced & wheelchair bound.
The tendency is especially pronounced in the progenitors of machine-creatures.

There have been two factually documented attempts - thankfully both were unsuccessfull.

"Detonate the reality bomb! AHAHAHAHAA"
(Davros, attempting verse-icide from the dalek crucible)

"Activate the Large Hadron Collider! AHAHAHAHAAA"
(stephen hawking, attempting verse-icide at CERN)
