Anti - Mainstream

Someone who is anti - mainstream has a strong dislike of trendy things and people. Many subcultures have preached about being anti - mainstream, most notably punk and heavy metal. Death metal, Black metal, and a few lesser known subgenres of punk rock remain the longest standing anti - mainstream subcultures while others have either become popular (I.e punk) or merged into other more popular subcultures(I.e classic metal and thrash metal). While music subcultures have the biggest anti - mainstream message other subcultures based around religion (I.e LaVeyan Satanism), politics(i.e non partisans), and even literature have emerged. Most trendy things start out anti - mainstream and become popular usually after a slight change in image (I.e in the 1920's united states when white people began playing jazz it became acceptable).
Punk was the first major anti - mainstream subculture, shortly followed by heavy metal and hip - hop.

Maasai jumping-jack

Named after the Maasai jumping dance performed by the maassai tribe. One's penis is tucked between the thighs and as the person jumps up and down a 'handless wank' is achieved. Usually carried out in frustration after hand functionality is comprimised for extended periods. Quite difficult at first but can be perfected with practice.

The first Maasai jumping-jack was performed by Charley Boorman while filming the long way round through Africa. Charlie was whining about his bitchy little limp wrists one night and Ewan denied him a dutch rudder. So, inspired by the Maasai people he'd seen that day, the Maasai jumping-jack was born.
After that motorbike crash where he broke both his wrists, Paul became a pro at the Maasai jumping-jack.

"If Liam didn't show me how to Maasai jumping-jack myself after I burned my hands, I don't think I could've coped."

MaaS

MaaS or Machine As A Service is a new methodology to market machinery to users. Rather than selling the equipment, the equipment is given to the end-user with no initial capital expenditure. The client only pays for the work performed by the machine.
Example; Hey Billy Joe, they just delivered my butter making centrifuge. It normally costs $500,000 but I got it on a MaaS model and pay $1.90 for every pound of butter I produce with it. Wow.... I am amazed.
