Arts Degree Dispenser

A toilet roll holder. Highlights that the only use for an arts degree is to wipe your bum with it.
Guy after big dump: ugh, no, the arts degree dispenser's empty! *rummages thru bag for scrap paper* I hope my actual arts degree is in here.

Gawd I hate that woman, she's a disbelieving Jew!

A sentence commonly shouted by delusional old women who were brought up in a "proper" and "pure" world if they hate a particular woman for being a disbelieving Jew. It is commonly believed that in the 1930s and into the early 1940s, the words 'Gawd I hate that woman, she's a disbelieving Jew!' were commonly uttered as an interjection of surprise...
"So Nana, what is your opinion on Britney Spears and the media attention she is getting in the aftermath of her custody battle?"

Griswoldian Christmas Display

From the 'National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation' movie character, Clark Griswold and his overdone Christmas lights display.

Any obscenely over-the-top holiday lights display on someone's home. Often done in an insanely competitive, anti- "peace on Earth, goodwill towards men" desire to outdo and one-up the neighbors.
Jack: Dude, you're late for work again. And you've been looking like hell lately. What's up?

Shawn: I haven't had any sleep in days. My neighbor's Griswoldian Christmas display is so freakin' bright it's been keeping me up all night. AND it's draining so much power it caused a black out in my neighborhood last night, so my alarm clock didn't go off!

Retina Display

A magical and revolutionary display only found on the iPhone 4. The magic stems from the fact that not only is this display high res but its "Retina" too, meaning high res, in addition to already being high res. This means that the display is double high res!

So even if it does have mediocre contrast (800:1), poor gamut, and inferior viewing angles, you know its high quality. And because your eyes can't even see the pixels you wouldn't even know how washed out it looks!
Steve: "Once you use a Retina Display you can't go back"
Steve: "Were serious thats a rule, its in the ToS"
Steve: "You'll wake up dead if you try, and all your Apps won't work"

suspension of disbelief

A term used that is usually used in the context of entertainment, which can include reading, video games, television, and films. It refers to the reader/watcher's ability or desire (or both) to ignore, distort or underplay realism in order to feel more involved with the game, film, or book. This is a very common practice in many action movies, some books, but probably the most in video games. It is usually permitted and ignored because most people don't care about realism in their entertainment. It's also much more difficult to program a realistic game with highly realistic damage scales, movement, targeting, and more. Some games which are meant to be silly (grand theft auto) don't require much of this, because the entire atmosphere revolves around the less-than-serious style. However, some others attempt to be serious but fail to relay such. This still does not ruin the feel for most, though.

Some people have poor suspension of disbelief, or just don't prefer to use it. These people usually don't care for casual 'shoot em up' games unless there is a huge element of humor and stupidity that is integral to the game itself. They are sometimes perceived as tight asses, but in reality, they just prefer to keep their unrealistic games silly and stupid.

Sometimes, fan boys will take their suspension of disbelief too far and proclaim blatantly unrealistic things to be realistic in an effort to validate the game against 'invaders' who simply assert the truth.
Examples:

Live Free Die Hard - Stunts are too extreme for average cop, certainly a good movie, but the theme could have been portrayed in a much better way if done more realistically.

Resident Evil 4: Ability to dodge lasers, but not clumsy villagers. Headshots do not decapitate or kill, but neck breaks kill. Metal masks deflect bullets. Story of 'alien virus' does not nearly reconcile with these shortfalls and main character is unable to walk and shoot at the same time despite having supposed secret agent type reflexes.

Halo: Using assault rifles, pistols, and Jeeps in ad 2550 despite extreme advances in space travel. Highways, buildings, and tech that look identical to C. 2025

Starcraft: Organic creatures that can somehow tear through inches of armor and resist hypervelocity bullets and bombs. Missiles that can tear apart advanced alien buildings.

Starcraft is fun as an RTS, but it is simply difficult for some to get involved in the story because of these shortfalls in realism.

Halo and Resident Evil 4 are fun shoot em up games with the former having a more realistic damage scale, but both try to be too serious for the lack of realism. However, with suspension of disbelief, most people are okay with all of this.
