Big Brother Contestant

1) An exhibitionist and self-important grandiose person who cheapens the human race simply by existing.

2) Someone who is incredibly vapid and has no concept of reality or offers any kind of discernible value to society.

3) A cunt.

So named because of the antics of contestants of the UK version of the "popular" Channel Four reality television programme of the same name.

1) Person One: I've just applied to go on Big Brother so I can spout my half baked political philosophies and act like a tit by having a temper tantrum or being racist the name of entertainment. Oh, and I have a wacky name like Gizmotech or DJ Baztarrd.

Person Two: Oh, for fuck's sake.

2) Person One: I want to earn a soft porn modelling contact, bag a footballer and attempt to live off my grossly distorted peception of my own beauty for the rest of my life.

Person Two: As oddly eloquent as that sentence was, I think your best bet is to become a Big Brother Contestant. Or kill yourself. Now.

3) Person One: I just pushed that old lady in front of that bus then pimp slapped the taste from out of that small child's mouth.
Person Two: You're such a Big Brother Contestant.

Contrabass Clarinet

A rather large member of the clarinet family, the Contrabass Clarinet is in the key of B-flat, and is one octave below the bass clarinet, which in turn is one octave lower than the regular B-flat clarinet.
There are two types of Contrabass Clarinet- the Straight Contra and the Curved Contra. Curved Contrabasses are approximately two and a half feet long and doubles back on it self three, or sometimes four times. The straight contrabass clarinet does not double back on itself, and as a result is well over five feet in length.

The contrabass clarinet is not often used, as it is a rather rare instrument, but when it is used, it usually doubles with the Contrabassoon, or the regular Bassoon.

I play the Contrabass Clarinet in the orchestra.

control unit

The control unit is primarily responsible for directing all the activities of the computer. It also manages interactions between the other components in the computer system. In addition, the control unit contains both hardwired instructions (called microcode or microprograms) to perform operations. An example of an instruction might be the command to fetch information from memory. In older systems, the control unit would be a large number of integrated circuits on a circuit card. On a microprocessor-based system, the control unit is part of the microprocessor.

I the control unit determines when the user's commands will be proccessed.

contempolonial

Late twentieth-century example of American architecture, which is characterized by an absence of the traditional ornament, associated with the architectural style it parodies. Early examples of the centempolonial were built to provide cheap, quickly built houses for G.I.'s returning home from World War II. Today, houses of this style are built to appeal to the widest group of potential homebuyers without regard to individual lifestyles. Synonyms include Ranchburger, McMansion, Contemporized Cape.

He's not a real builder, he builds contempolonial cookie-cutter houses.
