Waldo

In the special effects business, any mechanism that operates using a 1:1 movement ratio rather than using conventional input devices (levers, switches, knobs, etc.) or preprogrammed movement sequences. Waldo devices are often used for filming complicated live-action sequences, such as smoothly controlling a humanoid or lifelike animatronics system, making a radio-controlled full-size vehicle act exactly as if there was a real driver behind the wheel in a stunt sequence, etc. Simply put, they are used when intuitive controls are needed above all else.

The Mythbusters used a Waldo rig to make a bus roll itself over in their Demolition Derby Special.

Doc Ock's tentacles in Spider-Man 2 were controlled by a miniature Waldo setup. Where the controllers put the tentacles in the model, they moved behind the actor.

Waldport

I happen to live in Waldport. It's a bull-shit excuse for a town.

A small town on the Oregon coast, where the town shuts down at 9pm. Sports are everything to this town (even though the teams SUCK.) The high school is full of stoner's, wanna-bes, people who live to bring others down and whores. There are only a handful of useful people that graduate from the school. Everyone else either stocks shelves or waits tables. The town recently got credit, only because someone who graduated in 2009 was accepted to play football for the Oregon ducks.

All in all, this town is full of retired couples, drug addicts, teenage girls who sleep around, and teenage boys who drinkdrinkdrink.

Now, I'm going to be fair here, and stand up for the good this town has to offer as well.

Amongst the, lets say, 2/3 of bull-shit this town dishes out, there are people who in this town that are decent. That's about it.

Waldport SUCKS.

They must be from Waldport. I mean, she looks like a crack-whore

Waldorf Schools

Waldorf Schools are a type of school popular in Europe and North America. Waldorf Schools are descended from the original Waldorf school in Germany, founded in the late 1800s by a racist German man named Rudolf Steiner. They closely resemble a cult, banning electronics from school grounds, celebrating obscure pagan festivals such as Michaelmas, banning candy and other sugary treats from school grounds and serving only organic meals to the kids. Many don't have a science class, while almost all have knitting, woodwork, Latin, chorus and orchestra as mandatory classes. They tend to be christian and conservative.

"Bro, she went to a Waldorf Schools?"
"Yeah, that's probably why she growls at people when she's mad."

Waldgirgl

The most awful fake Jegermeister this world has seen. It tests the will of the strongest man by enduring the shot of waldgirgl without exhaling for 10 seconds. Hugely popularised by Rak Prstenjak

Bro 1: Yo have you tried Waldgirgl?
Bro 2: Yeah bro, that shit sucks. I would rather drink elephant piss than that crap!

Waldo'd

Verb

To get hit in the head with a basketball. Derived from the Family Matters character Waldo Geraldo Faldo getting hit in the head with a basketball in the opening credits of the show.

Allen Iverson's career is in question after he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage from getting waldo'd in last Friday's game.
