shock value

The only value in filthy, disgusting, violent, or obscene materials in the media (television shows, movies, online forums, etc.). Ironically, these things have become so common that even the shock value is gone, leaving their existence pointless and the masses desensitised (or disgusted).

The reason half the definitions on UD exist.

You can't show that on television! Oh, wait, nevermind.

net realisable value

The price of a sellable item (highest at which it can be sold at) less the cost of bringing it to the point of sale (repairs, delivery etc.)

The computer is worth £X, but repairing it will cost £Y, and delivery costs and admin will be £Z.


Net realisable value is £X-(Y+Z)

family values

Something that those people who have don't try to impose on others, and those who don't possess try to shove down everyone's throats.

Massachusetts, the first US state to have legalized gay marriage, frequent attractor of hate from the "family values" crowd, has the lowest divorce rate in the US (2.4 per 1000 persons) and the lowest teenage pregnancy rate in the US (7.9% of pregnancies). For comparison, Texas, a bastion of "family values" (and executions), leads the nation in teenage pregnancy (16.4% of pregnancies); states in the Bible Belt (Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas) have divorce rates approximately 1.5 times the US average of 4.1 divorces per 1000 persons.

And nothing of value was lost

Self explanitory. Used as a response to when something of naught value has happened

News reporter: After the assassin finished off his rampage of brutally murdering The Jonas Brothers, he proceeded to then hijack Mel Gibson's private jet, where they were forced to crash land in the pacific ocean. And nothing of value was lost.'

Back to you

family values

Code term for bible-thumping, self-loathing, closeted homosexuals who troll public restrooms for sex. Republican senators and congressmen appear to have an inordinate fondness for this expression.

I'm going to the truck stop to practice my family values.

Buzz-values

Buzz-values - describes the situation where privileged people latch onto whatever political view is in vogue at the time without enough real understanding of the political situation and context, as this would take research etc - usually use this opinion to belittle others who don’t share it in an attempt to make themselves feel better about their insecurities and their fears in an increasingly complex world that gets harder and harder to understand - buzz-values make it feel easy to stand for something in a world where politics is too complex to grasp instantly.

I had to leave the thread because I could not stand listen to the buzz-values of my friends who clearly were not as informed as they could be.
