Countdown City 

Countdown City is neither Orlando, or San Antonio. Orlando's area code (Orange County) is 407 and San Antonio has no historical relevance to be called "Countdown City"...

Area code 321 is the area code serving Brevard County, Florida. The area code has been in use since November 1, 1999; it was assigned to Florida (instead of suburban Chicago) after a successful petition led by local resident Robert Osband to commemorate the Space Coast's impact (NASA/Kennedy Space Center) on Brevard County, thus coining the term "Countdown City". Although the real Countdown "City" is technically Cape Canaveral, the entire county claims the term as it's own.
You will find a lot of rocket scientists living in Countdown City.

countdown tv 

The numerous countdown timers used for upcoming shows on a cable tv channel. These timers are started days before the show airs and are a distraction when watching other shows. countdown, timer, new tv show, tv, cable tv, cable news, television, must see tv
I get so tired of these overused countdown timers for new shows. This countdown tv is a total distraction.

countdown-a-tosis 

A person who has gotten so addicted to the show Countdown, it develops into a medical condition. It could even make one form an emotional attachment to a Countdown clock.
David: I love playing Countdown. I play it at least 5 times a day.
Karl Pilkington: Perhaps you need to see a doctor, you may have countdown-a-tosis.

Street Countdown 

Basically, it's like normal countdown, only it's played on the street. It can get very cold.
I challenge you to a game of street countdown!

Final countdown theory 

The theory that, no matter where you are, if you shout out "IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!" someone, somewhere will repond with "Duh duh duh duh...duh duh dut dut duh" I.e. The sound of the music which immediately follows the lyric.
John: Hey Mark, wanna try out the final countdown theory?
Mark: But we're in an old people's home!
John: So what, it'll still work!
Mark: Alright fine then, "IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!"
Voice in the distance: Duh duh duh duh...duh duh dut dut duh
John: HOLY SHIT OLD MAN, YOU ARE JUST THE COOLEST.

The Final Countdown 

A song made by 80's rock band Europe. Found on the album "The Final Countdown".
