Adobe Programmer Syndrome (APS)

A programmer, or group of programmers, more interested in tacking more and more "bloatware" features to software, rather then cleaning up and optimizing existing code. Usually using the excuse "Computers are faster now, they can handle it"

Any real programmer knows performance > features and splash screens are soooo 2001.

The Five Pillars of Adolescence

The Five Pillars of Adolescence must be achieved only when the individual is the teen age from 13 - 17. If one fails to achieve the Five Pillars of Adolescence before turning into and adult at the age of 18 then one's childhood memories shall haunt the individual.

Pillar 1: Social Networking
Pillar 2: Parties
Pillar 3: Relationships
Pillar 4: Smoking, drugs and alcohol
Pillar 5: Sex

The Five Pillars of Adolescence example...

"John is going to become an adult, he is turning 18 soon and until now he has failed to achieve any of the Five Pillars of Adolescence therefore he shall live the rest of his life in regret, stress and flashbacks from his childhood. The Five Pillars must be achieved whatever ethnicity, race or beliefs you are. They are not optional, but they are compulsory for that certain age group, fail and you will have a bad future."

adolescent

the worst years of your life when your enimies are your friends your friends are your family and your family is you enimie. when girls freak out because they think having a pimple is acne and spend 50 grand on products to cover it up. when guys try to get in a girls pants before they even kissed the girl. just to be cool around their friends. when everything is a mess. homework piles to your head and you go on msn/aol/yahoo for atlease half of your day. when coke is not just a drink. skirts are pulled up to baerly cover the ass and pants are pulled down to show half your boxer. if your caught with your parents your social life is over. when people try to buy the most expensive things they can lay their hands on jsut to fit in. friends are backstabers and you life is just a living hell. so you make you life seem so perfect by partying every weekend and getting high.

Adobe Flash Player Remembrance Day

In 2020, this day will be known as Adobe Flash Player Day, where everyone must use Adobe Flash Player to play their favorite Flash game before it is too late.

Adolescence is a age to refer to a person starting adolescence starting at 10 and ending it at 21.
This is the average age of puberty.
Where kids are interacting with peers, getting embarrassed of moms and dads, confused about self identity, curiosity about sex, experimenting with alcohol, doing dumb things etc
But not all pubescent children are adolescents all Adolescents are pubescent children.

Friend : what did your adolescent boy do now?
Mom : he tried to climb out of 100 feet building and jump 🤬.

re-adolescent

A person in their 20's or 30's (or beyond) who appreciates and enjoys what are perceived as childish or immature pursuits.

Do you watch cartoons more than the news? Wear sneakers more than shoes? Buy kid's meals to get the toys for yourself? And are you of legal drinking age? If so, you are a re-adolescent.

the adolescents

Under appreciated Fullerton, CA skate punk band/supergroup. Their self titled is one of the best punk rock debuts ever released, but, unfortunately, they're largely glossed over in the modern rock vernacular for bands like the Dead Kennedys or Black Flag, both of whom enjoyed a larger measure of crossover success.

The Adolescents: for when the phrase "Orange County punk rock" didn't conjure up images of assholes in Hurley gear with cocked trucker hats.
