made up

Used in the North of England particularly Liverpool and Merseyside, meaning delighted, happy about something, over the moon!
Though it can also be used as a sarcastic retort.
"When i found out i'd got the job, I was made up!" Or "her face lit up when she opened her present, you could tell she was really made up with it."
The sarcastic retort usage of the term, would be something like, when someone was jealous of someone. The person might say: "Hey i got a date with that fella! and you would reply, "I'm made up for ya!" (when really you were no such thing)

Madden Curse

Originated in 2001 when EA started putting cover shots of famous football stars on the cover of Madden NFL videogames.
Every player to be on the cover since then has had a season ending injury and/or a losing streak. Examples:

Madden 2001 cover: Eddie George, Titans RB

Before cover: The Titans reached the Super Bowl the prior season and George had gone to three consecutive Pro Bowls.

After cover: George made the Pro Bowl in 2000, but averaged 3.2 yards per carry in 2001 and 2002 and the Titans haven't been back to the Super Bowl.

Madden 2002 cover: Daunte Culpepper, Vikings QB

Before cover: Culpepper threw 33 TD passes and led team to the NFC championship game.

After cover: Culpepper missed five games in 2001 with a knee injury, threw a league-high 23 interceptions in 2002; the Vikings have gone 11-21 since 2000.

Madden 2003 cover: Marshall Faulk, Rams RB

Before cover: Faulk had become the first player in NFL history to gain 2,000 yards from scrimmage in four consecutive seasons; the Rams had been to three straight postseasons.

After cover: Plagued by an ankle injury, Faulk started a career-low 10 games as the Rams missed the playoffs.

Madden 2004 cover: Michael Vick, Falcons QB

Before cover: He was on a roll coming into the year, having set four NFL records in the 2002 season and established a reputation as one of the games' most electrifying players.

After cover: Early in the 2003 pre-season, Vick broke his leg in the first quarter of a game against the Baltimore Ravens. He was out for the first 11 games of the season.
Prior to 2001, John Madden was on the cover of Madden NFL games. John Madden is the only man in history to withstand the power of the Madden Curse.

Madden physics

A frustrating glitch in EA Sports football games (Madden and NCAA) in which the football and/or players act in a way that is not physically possible. This may include a football going through body parts, body parts going through body parts, a football touching a player's "aura" and being deflected, a football being randomly teleported from one player's possession to another, or a fumble being sucked into a player's possession from 5 feet away.
Man, I would've won that game if it hadn't been for Madden physics!
