fall-back complaint

when someone often changes the subject to repeat specific complaints.

Bill mentioning a problem he is having regardless of what other people are saying is a fall-back complaint.

Joe: How was your day?
Bill: Fine. Do you know why is the bus always late?

Mary: Hello Bill.
Bill: Hey. The bus is late again.

Dave: Talk to you tomorrow Bill.
Bill: Okay! I hope the bus wont be late.

Jim: Can you give me Mary's number?
Bill: Did you know the bus is always late?

Quick to back down

1. When one tends to speak profusely and institute name calling to another, only to retract previous statements when faced with physical opposition.

Adam was talkin mad shit but he was quick to back down when I tried him. I'll run up on him all day wit an AK.

Adam was bein a bitch so I split him in his face. He ran away, he was always the quickest to back down.

Shady's Back

Refers to Eminem's intro to a few of his songs, notably Without Me from The Eminem Show.

Guess who's back
Back again
Shady's back
Tell a friend
Guess who's back,
Guess who's back,
Guess who's back,
Guess who's back...

Lebron giving back to communities

Another acronym for LGBTQ.

Yeah I support Lebron giving back to communities. If I had that fame I'd give back to my community too.

I don't have the facts to back this up

A phrase said prior to any ridiculous statement to give the illusion of validity.

"Now, I don't have the facts to back this up, but I believe Herman Cain was born in Indonesia."

Back EMF

The counter-electromotive force (abbreviated counter emf, or CEMF ) 1 is the voltage, or electromotive force, that pushes against the current which induces it, is caused by a changing electromagnetic field. It's represented by Lenz's Law of electromagnetism. Back electromotive force is a voltage that occurs in electric motors where there is relative motion between the armature of the motor and the external magnetic field. Counter emf is a voltage developed in an inductor network by a pulsating current or an alternating current. 2 The voltage's polarity is at every moment the reverse of the input voltage 3 4

In a generator using a rotating armature and, in the presence of a magnetic flux, the conductors cut the magnetic field lines as they rotate. The changing field strength produces a voltage in the coil; the motor is acting like a generator.. (Faraday's law of induction.) This voltage opposes the original applied voltage; therefore, it is called "counter-electromotive force". (by Lenz's law.) With a lower overall voltage across the armature, the current flowing into the motor coils is reduced. 5

Pretty self explanatory dont you think, i added this as the previous entry was rubbish and he's obviously visited an engineer who doesn't know what back EMF is.
