signing

The art of stealing street/construction signs. Usually, any street sign is acceptable to take, however, it is an unspoken rule that signs such as "Hospital" or "In Memory Of" be left alone. Most people say it is unacceptable to take "Stop" signs, but if it's in a sparsely trafficed area, it is usually fine. Almost anything else is fair game. Some people hold contests to see who who is able to jack the funniest/rarest signs. This is a popular sport among the Hellraisers.
Hellraiser 1: Dude, I just jacked a Police Parking Only Sign while signing last night!

Hellraiser 2: You got balls man, but mine is funnier, it says, "Speed Humps Zone"! That one's goin' in my dorm for sure.

Federal Signal

One of the original manufacturers of warning lights and sirens.
There is no sound quite like that of a fire truck screaming by.
What makes this so impressive is the ear deafening wail of the venerable Federal Q machanical siren.

Give Way Sign

n. A male who likes to go and workout at the gym and subsequently puts on a lot of upper body bulk, however, this is at great expense of his lower body and legs which results in greatly disproportionate body development. The individual is left with massive upper body size but spindly legs.

The reference to a 'Give Way Sign' is drawn from a common traffic sign, which takes the form of 'Give Way Sign' as an inverted isosceles triangle (with the apex point facing down and the two other points on top) which sits on a very thin yellow pole.

Pictographically speaking, the two points on top represent each of his shoulders and lat muscles, but then thin out towards the apex and the thin yellow supporting pole which represent his thin legs. hence his bodily appearance being similar to that of a 'Give Way Sign'.
'Shit dave, that dudes huge!'

'Pfft, look at his legs though, total Give Way Sign.'

signal to noise ratio

1.)A term used in physics to describe the amount of information extracted from an electro-magnetic signal compared the information orginally introduced into that signal.
2.)term used by psuedo-erudites to describe the degree of usefulness found in communications by media, individuals or otherwise.
1.)Hey Jim, this stereo set up is fucked. I'm pumping out 200W but my system sounds like a transistor radio. That is one fucked up signal-to-noise ratio.

2.)Typically, a demogague actually benefits from non-sensical, contradictory and inflammatory statements and agendas. Ironically, the higher the signal-to-noise ratio, the more effective they become since any useful information would actually reign them in.
