impact calibration

The technical terminology for hitting any sort of electronic device to get it to work properly; a solid and punctuated smack or slap.

"Theo noticed the screen on his iPad was slightly scrambled so he quickly implemented the impact calibration principle to the edge of the device. One good smack and the screen was clear as the blue sky on a summer's day.

California

Extremely diverse place, you can find all kinds of people here. rich Republicans from Orange County, crime-ridden areas in South Central LA, rednecks, white trash in Riverside and San Bernardino County, surfers and hot girls along the coastal cities, beautiful but somewhat dangerous city of San Francisco, one of the best cities in the world San Diego, and great scenary in the Northern area, desert wasteland in Death Valley and Arizona border...

California is the weirdest state in US

Soul Calibur

A series of fighting games produced by Namco. Well known for its strategic battles, numerous amounts of weapons, and the fact that the female characters' outfits get smaller and breasts get bigger in every installment.

Eric: Man, Ivy's gonna be nude in Soul Calibur V.

Joe: Isn't her main weapon a whip?

Eric: Yeah, why?

Joe: Kinky.

california burrito

A delicious and mythical burrito found in Mexican eateries, also known as a Cali Burrito. It is native to Southern California, especially San Diego. The California Burrito consists of carne asada, cheese, sour cream and French fries or potatoes rolled into a flour tortilla. Guacamole may be substituted for sour cream, though this not a true Cali burrito, just an imposter (known as a Cyrus Burrito).

"I almost had a heart attack while eating a massive California burrito last night!"

California Crust Punk

One of the most unique scenes within the genre, California Crust Punk can be interpreted as a wave of crusty punk/metal/grind bands during the late 80's and early to mid-90's that played an important (albeit sometimes uncredited) role in shaping the sound of modern crust. Early bands included Apocalypse, A//Solution, Carcinogen, Phobia, Plutocracy, Glycine Max, Neurosis, Mindrot, Confrontation, Dystopia, etc. Many of these bands hailed from southern California and/or the Bay Area and tended to blur the lines between the various strains of hardcore punk and extreme metal to create distinctly unique sounds within the scene at the time. Some notable bands that came later in the scene's history include Noothgrush, Skaven, Enewetak, Unruh, El Dopa, Dead America, Despise You, Gasp, Suffering Luna and many more that are most likely buried by time and dust. Although some of these bands can't be defined as crust in the strictest sense of the term, they each had ties and sympathies towards crust punk in some way, whether it was in sound or ethos. The scene more or less dissolved completely by the early/mid-2000's, but it's influence can still be heard in the sonic tapestries of many punk and metal bands around the world. The Oakland region of the Bay Area has continued to play host to many notable "crusty" bands such as Stormcrow, (later) Graves at Sea, Badr Vogu, Brainoil, Embers, Cruevo, etc.

Me: "I love nearly all of the bands from the California Crust Punk scene!"

Damn near any other person: "California what-punk?"
