Special Effects

Contemporary art that eschews style, content and technical skill and replaces these with hip effects like randomly applied paint drips and stencils. A reference to action movies that consist entirely of explosions, car chases and CGI.

Guy: I thought it was a good show, with some really aesthetically interesting stencils of spiderwebs...
Guy2: Yeah but you're into special effects.

Vancouver Special

Description of the majority of beautiful Asian women found in Vancouver. As beautiful as they may be, they all actually look the same! Just like all the 'Vancouver Special' homes built in a particular architectural style in the period from roughly 1965 to 1985 in Vancouver. These women will usually sport a designer handbag, ombre hair, fake eyelashes and snobby attitude.

I'm not going to (insert Vancouver club here)! It's full of Vancouver Specials!

Special Gift

A one-time gift that is given to an individual out of hope that it will give the donor something in the future. The term is used as a tactic to make the recipient want to know more about the gift so that the donor can exercise their authority over them hence the generic definition.

Sam gave me a special gift so I would protect her in the state of nature

Schumacher Special

When you have a broken item (primarily electronics) you purchase the identical item from a local retailer and 'swap' the two items. You then return the broken item using the new packing and receipt - effectively "repairing" your item.

My radar detector stopped working, so I went into Best Buy and did a schumacher special. I purchased the new radar detector (same model) from Best Buy. I took it home, opened the packaging and swap the radar detectors. I then took the broken one back to Best Buy using the packaging and receipt from the new radar detector. I now have a new radar detector free of charge.
