Majority Rules

Elusive 'rule' or 'law' that can be invoked to carry through the will of the majority. The last word in all decision making processes, whether this be in persuading others to go on a lovely trip to the park, or something altogether more serious. If the majority of people agree about something, e.g. going to the park, and someone says 'Majority Rules' then everyone must do what the majority want. In the same way, can also be used to prove or disprove facts (however ridiculous), in that if the majority agree that something is true/untrue then it is true/untrue - the 'rule' is thus useful for winning arguments where you know others will agree with you.
Arguably pretty much just democracy distilled to the level of petty playground rivalry.

I couldn't be sacked going to the park man, but Mike and that Majority Rules'd me so I had to go.

Silent majority

An oxymoron.

Bub: What is a silent majority?

Loko: An oxymoron

Bub: Oh really, why?

Loko: Think about it. How can a majority be silent? Would that not also imply there is a loud minority? Not strictly speaking, but by definition, a crowd of a thousand people cannot be more silent than a few individuals. Therefore it is an oxymoron.

Bub: So what you are saying is that a silent majority is seemingly silent, but has all the traits of a majority?

Loko: Exactly. However because it's an oxymoron, it is only to be used under specific contexts such as the majority of students attending a zoom lecture that vote on polls but don't ever talk. It has also been used as a misnomer intended to magnify a population group to make it appear bigger than it really is. In the second case, it is the 'majority' part that is meant to elude, while 'silent' implies that there is another group in comparison: the supposedly "loud" group which turns out to be the true majority group.

Bub: The second use-case sounds a bit sus.

Loko: Yes, essentially it is double-speak.

Major Tom

A masturbation technique where you squat before you finish and start hyperventilating. As you finish jump up like a rocket and breath out. This will cause you to enter a transcendental state where you feel like you are floating in space as you orgasm. If one will attempt this, ensure there is a soft place to land on.

My friend tried the Major Tom, and he says he will never be able to orgasm normally again.

Accounting Major

a college student who's probably a complete nerd and never goes out on weekends. Because of the tough classes they have to take, they're forced to have very little social life if they want to graduate with good grades. However, along with some finance majors, they are the only people in your school's business department that are smart and not complete cocksuckers.

I was in the School of Business building today, and I met these three students. Two of them were a business major and a marketing major, both of which would suck my dick in a second if it helped them get ahead. But the third guy was an accounting major, who was kinda nerdy but he was really awesome.

Art Major

It is the most prestigious and wonderful and intelligent and interesting group on Flickr, of which you are most likely not a part of.

To be Art Major is to be really pretentious. To write super long comments. To put poetry and lyrics in your photo descriptions. To post snapshots and act like they're the Mona Lisa. To become outraged when you receive critical comments. To take forty pictures of a wall and claim it represents the prolific banality in the world of commercial art. To pretend to know what you are talking about and when you critique photos the critique must be scathing. SCATHING, making the poster cry.

So, to be Art Major is to be blatantly pretentious, and not give a damn.

"Nothing is more Art Major. Nor more cathartic than drunken combat. So run up a tab, transform into an emotional wreck, then blame someone else for your problems and crack a pool stick over their head."-Jackson
