I click on the hyperlink provided to me, but it does not work. This hyperlink has become a hypo-link
by Anthony Hallworth August 03, 2007
A link which, when clicked, reveals content which jumps out of the web and molests your eyeballs. Oftentimes the content is obscured by DNS or other link trickery.
The classic example is goatse.cx, the shock site image of a man stretching his anus to superhuman proportions. Directly at the camera.
Typical dialogue surrounding link rape:
Friend: I advise against clicking this link.
You: ::click:: OMG, my eyes! They've lost their virginity!
Friend: I told you not to click it...
Enemy: You have to check out the hot coeds at this site: tinyurl.com/hotcoeds (this is 555 example).
You: ::click:: OMG, my eyes! ::oedipus rex::
Enemy: Mwahaha....
others:
tubgirl (www.tubgirl.ca)
lemonparty (lemonparty.org)
2 girls 1 cup (2girls1cup.nl)

The act of clicking further and further from your original subject of research. Commonly related to the popular website Wikipedia.com
I started out reading about Big Foot on Wikipedia, but two hours later of link diving later and I knew all about The Spring Heeled Jack of London.

Creationists' undisputed proof that evolution is 100% wrong. The standard reasoning is that, since not every single human being who has ever lived since before we were human beings has been dug up, we don't know for 100% sure that they're all *really* related.
Resulting alternate postulations necessarily involve the sudden mass-extinction of one species, almost immediately followed by the magical and/or miraculous introduction of a new species - homo sapiens - by the creationist's deity of choice, be it God or aliens.
Despite the fact that this "theory" cannot hold up to a tiny fraction of the rigor they grace the theory of evolution with, proponents of intelligent design often fervently insist that the "missing link" in the chain of evolution is undeniable proof that the theory of evolution is entirely unfounded, and that their highly unlikely postulate of intelligent design must be the only logical solution.
In reality, the "missing link" represents but one piece of missing evidence among millions of pieces of existing evidence for evolution. This can be contrasted to the almost complete lack of any evidence whatsoever for the proposed alternate theory of intelligent design, as well as the willful ignorance of any physical evidence that does in fact exist (which is commonly dismissed by arguments such as "LOL THE DEVIL PUT IT THERE").
The field of psychology explains that this type of reasoning has its roots in a phenomenon known as the "confirmation bias", which is the tendency of a person to seek out and interpret information which enforces their predrawn conclusions and reject information which challenges said conclusions. The confirmation bias can be found at the heart of many junk sciences in which conclusions are drawn before any physical evidence is gathered to lead one to that conclusion.

1. A concept from hustler culture that typically means to network with someone who can help you become more successful. You may be linking and building also by exchanging info and building out your network, adding someone on the social media site Linkedin, meeting with people to organize for social justice or community projects, or lastly, doing something with someone else in a social setting to gain more clout. NOTE: Sometimes for two people to "link" is used interchangeably with "link and build" but "link" is the more casual / informal version.
2. The term is also used ironically to talk about meeting friends, by meme pages to make fun of hustler culture, and by co-workers who are using the term to refer to doing something not related to work but with work friends. It is used in this way by in a satirical video by Cherdleys called "When the clout attacks," where they mention at some point that someone is going to "Link and Build."

1. Sincere version You seem make sick beats. I really want to work on music with you.
2. Ironic version Yo boys in chat, we gotta link and build later.
