Toyota Prius is a gaming console

An expression that refers to the fact that the production years of 1st gen Toyota Prius (2001-2003) coincide with PS1, whilst that of 2nd gen Toyota Prius (2003-2009) with that of PS2, and that of 3rd gen Toyota Prius (2009-2015) with that of PS3. Same with 4th gen Toyota Prius (2016-2022) whose production years coincide with PS4, whilst that of 5th gen Toyota Prius (2023~present) whose production years also coincide with PS5. Not to mention that the nameplate "Prius" starts with "P" and ends with "S", where both letters make the acronym for "PlayStation". Contrast this with Mitsubishi L300 pickup and Mercedes-Benz G-Class which both have been manufactured since 1979 until present in nearly unchanged form (with few to no facelifts), hence not coinciding with the pace of technological advancement of any gaming console.

Some people joke that the Toyota Prius is a gaming console because its generations match up perfectly with PlayStation generations from PS1 through PS5, showcasing how both have evolved with technology while other vehicles like the Mitsubishi L300 pickup or Mercedes-Benz G-Class stick to their unchanged classic roots.

Consolation Rolo

A rolo candy from a secondary package, gift or jar from the one originally offered or requested; making it clear to the recipient they were not worthy of the last rolo.

After Tinker Bell refused a consolation rolo from him, Peter Pan knew then that bragging about giving Wendy his last one only a day before knocked the pixie dust right out of her. His prior offer of the chocolate caramel goodness left her bereft at her last rolo unworthiness. Unable to fly, she was forced to seek solace with Captain Morgan and the seven dwarves.

console crush

The feeling you get when a new console comes out, but It's sold out everywhere and you can't get it.

Friend: Dude what's up you look sad.
Me: Yeah I've been having some console crush.
Friend: Why?
Me: The PS5 is sold out literally everywhere, and EBGames said they're restocking in March next year... Man I really hate being Canadian right now...

Console Scraps

A derogatory term for console ports often used by console fanboys and occasionally PC elitists. As the 'scraps' part of the word implies, these are often ports of extremely old console games, (occasionally) when there's a new entry in either the same series or by the same developer that's (at the time of release) only for consoles. Effectively, consoles are getting the main course while PC gets sloppy seconds. This practice has fallen off in recent years, but it still happens from time to time, most often from Japanese publishers. A similar concept exists for consoles, in the form of 'HD Remasters', but those are generally old games for new platforms, while PC has been around since the game's initial release and should have gotten the game sooner.

-Hey, did you hear that Catherine got ported to PC?
-Yeah, after like what, 8 years? It's just console scraps, why are people making a big deal out of it?
-But this makes it the best version, it can run above 720p and 30FPS!
-So? Even Quake could do it.
