monopoly on violence

The exclusive ability of a sovereign nation to control violence in order to enforce the law and maintain security. Ironically, a government does this by wielding the most force to back up its words.

The police kicked down the crack house door and served a search warrant after detaining the residents at gunpoint.
"That is what essentially sets a nation-state apart, which is the monopoly on violence." - President Obama
Soldiers are authorized to kill during war. Normally this is the highly illegal act of murder.

Violation of Team Rules

A common phrase used by many NCAA Football and basketball coaches that almost always means "smoking marijuana". Since the NCAA doesn't regulate controlled substance use for fear of losing half their great athletes, they allow the individual schools to regulate how much marijuana their athletes smoke. If an individual athlete smokes so much weed that he/she is dumb enough to get caught red-handed smoking or selling, that athlete is suspended for a game in his/her respected sport (Unless Lane Kiffin is the coach in which case it is a mere half game).

Mark: Yo Weezy, I just gotz me some of the best herb, you wanna go VTR with me?

power violence

A loosely defined sub-style of hardcore which almost completely eschews traditional song structure in favor of an all-out blitz-speed musical attack. More well-known power violence bands include Infest, Spazz, and Scholastic Deth.

That band is more grindcore than power violence, but they use elements of both.
