Horizontal Lemur

The act of one pedestrian, or a small group, crossing the street, primarily in a parking lot, in which they enter the road at a seemingly nonexistent angle which can take anywhere from 15 to 30 seconds for them to cross the two-lane road. Witnessing this can take a severe toll on one's psyche, and you should immediately see a psychological therapist before you reach out and bitch slap someone.
Pedestrian: Derpa derp derp... Just gonna enter the road cuz I can
Driver: Ok this is normal, I'll slow down
Pedestrian: Derp derp doodly derp
Driver: Well then, this is taking quite some time
Pedestrian: Derp de der...
Driver: GODDAMMIT! STOP DOING THE HORIZONTAL LEMUR AND MOVE YOUR ASS YOU FAT BASTARD!!!

Horizontal Running

it's a special way of running. You lay on your back and move your legs so that you make the same movements as when you run. It is usually practiced by people who do not want to admit that they are lazy.

Zuckerberg Horizon

The point on a social media platform where more than half of the content presented to users is either paid messaging inserted by the platform owner or artificially-generated ("bot") content, masqueraded as human-generated content.

The Zuckerberg Horizon is typically identified as a watershed moment, where an established social media platform loses both its value to users as a community discussion forum, and its and general credibility as a source of impartial information. Beyond this horizon, human-to-human communication represents the minority of content presented to everyday users of the platform.

Social media platforms crossing the Zuckerberg Horizon typically fall into a state of rapid public decline, though several documented exceptions exist. Examples of platforms surviving the horizon include those catering to extremist or "anti-fact" communities (e.g. The Flat Earth Society), platforms primarily funded by corporate interests (e.g. climate-denial forums), or those dedicated to distributing state-sponsored propaganda.
Twitter passed the Zuckerberg Horizon when Elon Musk re-activated thousands of previously-banned extremist accounts and disabled the accounts for legitimate news outlets critical of the decision such as The New York Times, CNN, and the Washington Post.

Bring Me The Horizon

This band, among many other image-orientated bands, are absolute crap. They do really nothin new with the sounds they try to emulate other than put a really crappy tone and thier singer, affectionately known as "Oli" Sykes to his major fan base of weird fat chicks plus strangely hot ones is possibly the Devil's Incarnate. Although this religious connotation is not true, it is basically just another way of proclaiming his awkward/skinny retardedness to the rest of the world.
A Traditional Oli Sykes Song, Written by Himself:
"ARGGH!!! IM SO FUCKING SHIT!!!
I DON'T REALLY SING ABOUT ANYTHING IMPORTANT, AS I'VE HAD A RELATIVELY GOOD LIFE YET JUST HATE MY PARENTS FOR BRINGING ME INTO THIS FUCKED-UP-WORLD!!! (cue ultimately retarded and out of place breakdown)
I BET YOU ALL LOVE THE FACT THAT I ALMOST SOUND LIKE I AM CRYING!!! I HATE YOU AND YOUR FACE!!! FUCK YOUR FAMILY!!! IMA PISS ON YO' NECK BIATCH!!! (cue out of place and ultimately retarded pig squeal)
BLARRRRRRRRG!
FUCK YOU AND YOUR PARENTS!!! EEEGGG!!!"

A Traditional Conversation Between Two People Who Have Intellect and Tasteful Tastes:
Hoob: "Hey, want to go and see a concert in Bloogtown?"
Leebgoff: "Maybe, who's going?"
Hoob: "Tool, Opeth, The Mars Volta, Led Zepellin, The Beatles, The Eagles, The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Megadeth, Coldplay, Mastodon, a couple of lesser known bands who are still amazingly awesome such as Between the Buried and Me, H20, Parkway Drive, Protest the Hero and The Sword."
Leebgoff: "Hold on, what's the catch?"
Hoob: "Bring Me The Horizon."
Leebgoff: "Ah, I'll just stay home and slit my wrists."

Chasing the Fun Horizon

The idea that fun is always happening at the NEXT party, and you ruin your night running after it, and not enjoying wherever you are. Evenings such as Halloween and NYE are often spent this way.
Q: What did you do for New Year's Eve?

A: Well, we went to the Promise party, then Trackmeet, etc, and moving from venue to venue, thinking the NEXT one would be the biggest good time. Chaysus. Basically we didn't stay anywhere long enough to have fun...

We were chasing the fun horizon all night. Unsurprisingly, we never reached it.
