Dead by Daylight

An online asymmetrical survival horror game released in June 2016.

In Dead by Daylight, each trial has one Killer and four Survivors, never more, never less.

The Killers must protect the Generators from being powered and sacrifice the Survivors to an unknown being called the Entity, using several sacrificial hooks around the map. The Killers have specific powers that can aid them in their quest. For example, the Trapper can place bear traps around the map in any location to cripple Survivors, apply pressure to areas and shorten chases. There can only be one Killer in each trial.

The survivors must attempt to survive the wrath of the Killers. The simplest way to escape the trial is activating five Generators around the map and exiting through two Exit Gates. The Survivors have defenses such as pallets that they can use to slow down or even stun the Killer, and windows to put distance between them and the Killer.

Both the Killers and Survivors have their own set of perks, some unique to one Killer/Survivor which can be "taught" to other Killers and Survivors alike upon reaching character levels 30, 35 and 40. Survivors also have items such as medkits and flashlights, and addons which can either prolong, quicken or upgrade said items. Killers also have addons that can upgrade their power in similar ways. These all aid the player in their objective.

burning daylight

A film industry slang term. Used as a way to tell actors and crew to hurry up as natural daylight wanes. Since the sun's position and quality changes throughout the day, sunlit shoots can be challenging to match later in editing, so it's important to get scenes done efficiently. This phrase is often used jokingly indoors to spur on the film crew.
Get your rubber masks on and get back into the swamp... we're burning daylight!

Daytime Insomnia

1. One result of procrastination.

2. A type of behavior performed during daylight hours marked by extreme procrastination. It is characterized by the shuffling around one's house or dorm for many hours in search of meaningless activities with unnaturally short durations (e.g. getting a drink of water or eating chocolates every five minutes, watching the television, listening to music, or playing a game all for five minutes yet in ten minute intervals). Such behavior is caused by the ever-present threat of doing work and the fear that committment to any other activity might preclude one from performing the said assignment or studying. All actions are results of cognitive processes which derive from a mild form of schizophrenia.
(Nick's mental process): Peanuts. I love peanuts. *eats peanuts*. I need water. No, you need to start the assignment, now!. I don't want to start the assignment yet, though. *drinks water* I will eat some more peanuts. *eats peanuts*

MUH DAYLI MAYUL

A commonly used empty buzz phrase embarrassingly spouted by unimaginative and uneducated Labour or Remain supporting sheep when they start losing an argument to their opponents sound reason and logic, most commonly regarding the EU, economics, immigration, culture, or Islam.

When faced with an unassailable, watertight argument, rather than counter-argue rationally or concede defeat, Labour or Remain supporters will desperately attempt to blame or scapegoat the Daily Mail, a British tabloid which hardly anybody reads anymore, in a pathetic effort to dismiss an argument or shout down the opposition.

This empty buzz phrase is usually accompanied by the hysterical screeching of more empty buzzwords such as bigot, xenophobe, and racist.

This phrase can be compared to the equally absurd notion of calling everyone you disagree with a Nazi.
Listen Alastair, the bloated and noxious EU has proven to be a colossal failure in Europe. It is unaccountable, undemocratic, incompetent, and sucking our treasury dry. Any rational person, left or right, can see that.

daytime

Daytime: noun. The quality or condition of being dramatic.

It's a replacement word (synonym) for "drama."
For example: if your girl (or guy) is acting all dramatic say, "Damn, why you gotta be so daytime?!"

Or you are observing someone making a scene at the bar or something, you would say, "Damn, that bitch is daytime!"

Or we could say, "There's a whole 'lotta daytime up in these forums!"
