Escape Sub

A particularly necessary and well-vented turd, evacuated after a night spent heavily refreshed. Provides intense relief and may actually contain the hangover.
Fucking hell, you should have gotten a look at the escape sub I just launched. Torpedo from that job would have sunk the Lusitania.

containment sub

In the context of Reddit, (A online community involving a myriad of "subreddit" forums called "subs", each with their own distinct culture and moderation) a containment sub is a sub that is usually more lax in some area of moderation. This is to let a certain subsect of people (that are usually running counterpoint to Reddits main company, particularly in political issues) congregate there and not spread into other subs and "infect" them with their ideology. Certain topics (such as articles about the ponzi scheme Ellen Pao's (the CEO of Reddit) husband created, can cause you to be shadowbanned in many forums, yet in a containment sub they generally will stay viewable indefinitely.

One particularly notable example of these is /r/kotakuinaction, which deals with the Gamergate movement. (and in particular is anti-SJW, whereas Reddit as a company is more definitely pro)
Don't worry about posting that, we're in a containment sub, your account is safe from the mods.

Sub-Hater

Someone who spends all day on U.B, defining words like "emo" and "Scene" and while defining them, goes of into some rant about them and how they suck.
Sub-Hater: Wow, scene kids think they are really cool. They are so egotistical. I am glad I don't belong to any specific group and remain totally individual.

Caught that sub

To notice a subtweet. When you know who someone is tweeting about without that person being directly mentioned in the tweet.

emo (sub-genre)

A genre of music that can be traced back to the Washington DC punk scene in the mid 80s. Many bands who do not claim to be influenced by this genre are pegged as emo because of its vague definition and negative stereotype. (see emo or emo (adjective)) Modern day bands that are tagged as emo (MCR Fall out Boy etc) deny relation to the original genre, but in the opinion of many have similar music/ play the stereotype well.
Bands form the original emo (sub-genre)include "The Promise Ring" "Rites Of Spring" "Boy's Life"
