A Lana local is a person who thinks that they are a stan for Lana Del Rey but only listens to her most popular songs.

One of the dirtiest words in the weeaboo lexicon, although not specifically limited to such a community. Every time it shows up (or is believed to show up), expect a lot of bickering. Something that has gone hand-to-hand with censorship as time goes on. One of those things bound to turn self-proclaimed levelheads into leveled heads.
In all seriousness though, localization involves changing things for games, anime, or manga to make it more suitable for a target region, especially in regards to cultural norms. Things like idioms, wordplays, region-specific jokes, and other visual modifications are modified for the target audience. It's one of those things you gotta be real careful with.
The act of localization, especially amongst weebs, is heavily contested if not outright reviled, in comparison to a more literal translation (expect arguments such as creator's intent and the like to show up all the time). When it comes to translations or localizations, either by fans or an official team, anything goes. Just because it's done by a fan or a group of fans doesn't mean it's better and just because it's done by a localization team doesn't make it inferior and vice-versa.

"Localization!? In my gacha game!? This is a sacrilege to the creator's intentions! The localizers absolutely butchered and mangled the game's script. Literally unplayable!"

A local celebrity, for example, a news anchor, reporter or meteorologist. These people claim they got into the line of work they are in because they had a true passion for it but, really, we all know they are only doing it in the hopes a Hollywood casting agent will one day spot them. Or The Today Show will fire Matt Lauer or Al Roker for them.
Person one: What you watching on TV?
Person two: Oh just Craig Setzer, from CBS 4 in Miami
Person one: Oh he's a local celebtard.

Evergreen...is a shitty, and puddle of diarrhea school. Majority of students at evergreen think they are hood, but have only acted hood towards cornstalks. They vape and when they get caught they suck dick to get their vapes back. Evergreen is the most horrible school ever due to their lame ass rules and scumbags that they so call "educate" at Evergreen. Due to Evergreen sucking a massive dick at football all the guys like to trash talk because they are ass. Overall Evergreen is full of retarded wannabe hood boys who have grown up in cornstalks, trash talkers, and some dumb ass people for real.
