Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. The rather long acronym for the most popular types of games in the world. The key features that separate these from other games are:
1) monthly payments
2) constantly changing game
3) seasonal events
4) the ability to talk to, trade with, fight and team up with other players
5) non-linear gameplay
6) an illogical stereotype about people getting addicted to them, being fat and unhealthy.
Although it is true that they are slightly to fairly addictive in some cases, due to the natural human urge to better yourself, it is only a minority of people that this actually affects, and they have to be weak minded enough to convince themselves that games are more important than social lives. However, contrary to popular opinion, in moderation, they are much better than watching TV as most critics of them tend to do in their spare time as they improve reaction times, memory, reasoning and tactical thinking.

Phil: "Quit? And sit there watching American Idol and shouting at the TV? No thanks".

Get the morphine dreams mug.We have that mammoth they dug up, that guy from Top Chef, a nationally acclaimed Academic Decathalon team, a combined gym/movie theater, about 400 supermarkets and pizza places, and, of course, we have more god damn parks than you. Moorpark. Fuck yeah.
A typical conversation in Moorpark:
Person 1: Hey man, what do you wanna do?
Person 2: I dunno, we could go to Tierra Rejada park, or Mountain Meadows park, or Campus Canyon park, or Poindexter park, or Peach Hill park, or Arroyo Vista park, or...shit man, let's just go hang out at Vons.

Get the Moorpark mug.A Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game.
An online game that is very similar to windows 95 with ICQ and a fantasy background.
Double-click everywhere to kill an endless stream of monsters in a fantasy world and gain new powers. Do this for hours on end while chatting with someone named "Drizzt23" or "MikethePike" about where in Korea or France or Alabama you live and what was on TV last night.
Contrary to the name, these games do not feature role-playing, so don't worry. Perfect for people who are too slow for Counter-Strike, and with no friends or imagination for role-playing.

Get the MMORPG mug.A system where you spend a good portion of your time at a computer, perform repetitive tasks to be promoted a level, fight with fellow players, and occasionally deal with boss creatures. Its just like work, only difference is you pay a monthly fee instead of BEING PAID a monthly fee.
Dan: Dude, I spent all of last week goldfarming on 'GalacticMedievalQuest' and I'm now a Level 34 Space-Elf Druid.
Bill: Thats nothing. I spent most of last week playing office politics & delegating responsibility at Initech Corp and I'm now promoted to Middle Manager. Plus they're paying me $10,000/mo.
Dan: FuXX0r! What new MMORPG is that?!

Get the MMORPG mug.This word does not exist in the English language. It is a missheard version of the word hermaphrodite from the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This interpretation is made by the narrator Scout Finch.

Get the Morphodite mug.Used to describe the look of the room you're in on lsd. Can be described as moving slowly like a lava lamp.
So basically picture the room and all items in the room moving in the motion of a lava lamp including the walls.
