luser /loo'zr/ n. common A user; esp. one who is also a loser. ( luser and loser are pronounced identically.) This word was coined around 1975 at MIT. Under ITS, when you first walked up to a terminal at MIT and typed Control-Z to get the computer's attention, it printed out some status information, including how many people were already using the computer; it might print "14 users", for example. Someone thought it would be a great joke to patch the system to print "14 losers" instead. There ensued a great controversy, as some of the users didn't particularly want to be called losers to their faces every time they used the computer. For a while several hackers struggled covertly, each changing the message behind the back of the others; any time you logged into the computer it was even money whether it would say "users" or "losers". Finally, someone tried the compromise "lusers", and it stuck. Later one of the ITS machines supported luser as a request-for-help command. ITS died the death in mid-1990, except as a museum piece; the usage lives on, however, and the term `luser' is often seen in program comments and on Usenet.

Losers+Users. Originates from MIT. On their old mainframe systems, when you turned on a terminal it would say something like "57 users online". Someone hacked it to "losers", and someone hacked again to "lusers".

Matthew Lush 

Matthew Lush is gay YouTube vlogger who has been internet famous likely for longer than a portion of his fans have been alive. He got his start on Myspace in 2005, and got the username "GayGod" when his original account got deleted and fans instantly flocked to his new one. His friend said he was "like a gay god" and the name just stuck. Matthew was also known for doing live shows on Stickam, a live streaming service that shut down in 2013. He later branched out to YouTube, opening his Lush channel in 2005, and GayGod in 2006. In 2007 he was #7 most subscribed, and became one of the first YouTube partners. He was still Myspace famous at this time, having nearly 400,000 friends at his peak. Years down the line, his internet fame started to slow down. However, in 2013 he started uploading to YouTube more consistently, and eventually grew both of his channels to over 1 million subscribers. In 2015, he had a dispute with Lush Cosmetics over them re-claiming his YouTube username "Lush", and he started a boycott campaign. In late 2017, Matthew put a pause on his Lush vlog channel and has yet to resume it. As of 2018, Matthew is still doing YouTube on GayGod, streaming on YouNow almost daily, interacting with his fans through Twitter, and is still a vegan (of nearly 12 years).

Lashelle 

The most awesomest person in the world. Someone who's super smart smarter than anyone. Someone who loves sports like soccer, baseball, basketball, and football. They are really nice, but if you get on her bad side they'll beat you down. They don't like perky people but likes sporty funny boys. They're asian, black, white, and hawaiian. They look absolutely beatiful and all the boys fall for her.
LaShelle is awesome.

lushotology 

Fake religion made up by the band "The Network" (who are actually the three members Green Day in disguise and two other people). It's a joke, part of the elaborate creation of The Network. Basically followers believe intoxication is great. Here's some of the fake history:

Controversial church established in 1981 by romance novel writer Hal Don Burre. He got the inspiration one day when he went to a bar, couldn't decide what to order, had the bartender pour all of the liquor into one glass, inventing the "Long Island Ice Tea." He then went inot a drug induced coma, envisioned the church, and wrote a book called Intoxication is Intoxicating. It became the new religions bible.

Tre: Uhhh...it's a great religion. We get drunk all the time
