reality tv

On the top of the list of American oxymorons, the only aspect of reality that it accurately portrays the American value that you have to be a backstabbing piece of bastard to survive in corporate America just like in shows like Survivor.
Reality TV is the fakest piece of shit ever broadcasted on TV. Except for all the backstabbing and the complete willingness to sacrifice friendships in the name of being self-centered and obsessed with winning something that isn't really worth the price, which is, unfortunately a very real part of our country.

reality-pop

A musical genre or style defined by groups such as the Streets and The Artic Monkeys. Essentially a lyrical style that encapsulates ordinary life experience shared by non-celebrity listeners, elevated beyond the banal to a shared meaningful significance in a regional or colloquial speech style. Emotionally charged but understated to maintain street credibilty.
The Artic Monkeys have managed to cosolidate and develop the new musical style or genre which may be usefully described or identified as 'reality-pop', perhaps being first produced by The Streets.

Reality Check

A New York State-based youth anti-smoking organization that uses the same manipulative tactics to attract teens that they denigrate Big Tobacco for. They have a branch in every county in New York State. The organization and its representatives tend to be hypocritical, self-righteous, and defensive when contradicted. Currently involved in a censorship campaign to ban instances of smoking from movies, without any regard for the sanctity of the art.
Most kids just go to Reality Check events for the free stuff.

reality chaser

Alcohol. Just as a regular chaser is something good-tasting following an unpleasant drink, a reality chaser follows the biggest unpleasantry of all; real life.
Shit, I got fired AND my car's been toed? Methinks this calls for a reality chaser.
