they live

Kick ass John Carpenter movie starring ROWDY Roddy Piper!!!!

Snatchfaced aliens are tricking humans by using a machine to make them look like us. But Piper (who is never given a name in the movie) is the only one who can see them with his sunglasses. No, really.

Supposed to be, according to Carpenter, an example of blind consumerism and republican economics
They Live is a great fucking movie.

live the dash

a shorter way to say live every day to its fullest; on your gravestone, it will show the year you were born and the year you die, in between is the dash. That is the time to live each day to its fullest.

Xbox Live

An Internet service offered by Microsoft for their Xbox video game system, for the sake of being able to play their Xbox games online. Comes with a microphone so that you can speak to the other people you are playing with.
Sadly, most Xbox owners are not used to being able to talk to their opponents like PC gamers are. Hence the majority of the conversation that goes on often consists of "YOU MOTHER FUCKER!!! SHOOT THE FUCKING GUY!!!"

lived experience

Shit that never happened. By making up lurid tales designed to go viral activist types can spin a history of oppression in any scene, org, or society. Lived experience discounts subjectivity or just being wrong and is usually brought up after someone's claims have been debunked.

It can also refer to existential problems you do nothing about but blame others for: being poor, living in a ghetto shithole, being an addict, etc.

Like a lot of SJW jargon it was stolen from the CATT team where it refers to a failed suicide attempt in post intervention care.
"I got totally discriminated against by the racists and sexists at the lesbian vegan co-op"
"I was there and that didn't happen"
