(US LAW) a legal ruling that consists of a decision in which the two parties (the plaintiff and the defendant) consent to some action by the defendant in exchange for a suspended sentence. For example, a husband who is a defendant in a domestic violence case may agree to psychiatric counseling in exchange for not going to prison for assaulting his wife.
The agreement has to be reached beforehand by the parties and then the court may (or may not) approve of the agreement. When it does, that's a consent decree.

Get the consent decree mug.The Context Dude: a dude who's for sure a 6 but registers as a 10 in the context of the 3's and 4's he's surrounded by. The context dude exists in several environments including the classroom, the workplace, and both small and large scale social settings. The context dude is good for many things such as motivating u to look presentable at work or even just making your Monday 8am more bearable. However, when you first encounter the context dude out of context, your entire world may begin to change as you genuinely start question your vision/taste/character/sanity and u might in fact never trust yourself again. So please, keep the context dude in context and don't ruin it for the rest of us. He is probly a good dude, but we like him better in context.
You can always pull a solid context dude at a wedding.
Any good context dudes in that 8am science class?

Get the Context Drop mug.A school in Darjeeling, India. Known for its underqualified staff who act like it costs a shit ton of money to simply reply to a "hello". Very trauma inducing environment. All forms of patriarchal, misogynistic, anti-feminist views are enforced in this jail. All the mean girls here turn lesbian after 5th grade.
