PlayStation 3 root key found by geohot(iPhone hacker)
can be used to sign games to run on the ps3
from Wikipedia(summarized):
Sony removed the ability to install another operating system in the 3.21 firmware update. This event caused backlash among the hacker communities, and eventually the group Fail0verflow found a flaw in the generation of encryption keys which they leveraged to restore the ability to install Linux. George Hotz (Geohot) later created the first homebrew signed using the private "metldr" encryption key which he leaked onto the internet. The action of leaking the key led to Hotz being sued by Sony.
At the 2010 Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, a group calling itself fail0verflow announced it had succeeded in bypassing a number of the PlayStation 3's security measures, allowing unsigned code to run without a dongle. They also announced that it was possible to recover the Elliptic Curve DSA private key used by Sony to sign software. The release of this key would allow anyone to sign their code and therefore be able to run it on any PlayStation 3 console. This would also mean that no countermeasures could be taken by Sony without rendering old software useless, as there would be no distinction between official and homebrew software. On January 3, 2011, geohot published the aforementioned private key, represented in hexadecimal as C5 B2 BF A1 A4 13 DD 16 F2 6D 31 C0 F2 ED 47 20 DC FB 06 70, as well as a Hello world program for the PS3.

When Facebook takes over all life and is everyones emotion. Past the point where people literally starting writing on peoples walls and say "lol" out loud when they find something humerous.
Dave- "Hey, I put ILY on your wall yesterday. Didn't you see it?"
Michelle- "What the fuck asshole? It took me an hour to scrub that off. But I did lol about it for a little"
Mitch- "FB takeover"

Stands for Fake BPM Syndrome. People that have FBS often think the BPM of a song is much higher than it is. It's especially prominent with people that are often not used to songs higher than 180 BPM and in Camellia's comment section on YouTube.
1: OMG this song is so fast!! It's like 1000000 BPM!!!!
2: dude this song is 205 bpm, i'm taking you to the doctor
Doctor: I'm sorry 1, but you've been diagnosed with FBS.

Abbreviation for "fucking be serious". Used to denote either that it is now time to become serious or that something is meant to be taken literally.
1: Okay, FBS, we really have to get this shit done. No more messing around.
2: Like, FBS, we're in love.
2: Like, FBS, we're in love.
