Linsanity

The 2012 craze brought on by former Harvard grad and NBA D-Leaguer, Jeremy Lin. After going undrafted out of college Lin spent time in the NBA D-league. Eventually the 2012 NY Knicks picked up the rising athlete to fill the spot of habitually injured Baron Davis. When given the opportunity to play due to injured superstars Carmello Anthony and Amare Stoudemire the young star excelled to the point of becoming a national icon.

Did you just see Jeremy Lin score 38 against Kobe and the Lakers? That was Linsanity!

Linsanity

To truly come out of nowhere and, like a Disney fairytale, dominate those around you like they are unworthy to be in your presence. It is different than being "Tebowed," which implies being beaten by someone with inferior skill and talent, but who was once capable of excellence at a less-than-elite level.

Linsanity, simply put, is an awe-inspiring display of talent by one who was unrecognized of possessing such talent by the "experts" in that particular field.

Max K: Did you know that Manny Pacquiao was once a sea urchin in the streets of the Philippines, unknown to the world, before becoming an 8-time world champion in boxing?

Floyd M: Really, that is pure Linsanity!

lindenhurst high school

run by a fat principle who jogs around the school after hours to "lose weight". lhs can't afford funding for shit b/c the budget is hated by all the citizens. the deans like to take your headphones and hats to pretend like they do their job when all they have to do is go into the bathrooms and bust kids for smoking on school property. the teachers are either really cool cats or the BIGGEST dickheads you will ever meet. the kids are the worst part of all. you have the obnoxious spanish bitches who squeal at frequencies that will make your ears bleed and they group in the hallways like cancer. you have the black bitches who think everyone wants to know their business and then give you lip when your fed up with hearing their shit and want to walk around their giant, slow moving asses. you have the stoners who flock to the smokers' corner every morning (and any free period they have) just to get their fix for the day (hour). you have the fat italian (polish too) bitches who think they are the hottest thing since sliced bread. you have the dirt bag alternative learning center (alc) kids and juggalos (same thing). the honors kids and the preps. and last, but not least, the freshmen with backpacks that make you stare in wonder at how such a tiny person can support a backpack four times the size of his body; they like to run through the hallways b/c you can never be too early for class! yeahh rightt.

at lindenhurst high school there is one drug dealer for every five students.

linsanity

When a seemingly average, unspectacular person suddenly erupts with success and develops a ridiculous cult-like following.

Rick: You gotta check out sportscenter. This guy who was cut by his old team just ripped off 20 points and 10 assists 4 games in a row! They say he's the best pg in the league!

Tom: How are you already wearing a t-shirt with that guy's face on it?

Rick: Apparently his tears can even cure cancer!!

Tom: Sounds like linsanity to me...

Lissencephaloid

An insult generally used to call another person stupid. Derives from the medical term for smooth-brainedness (lissencephaly). A harder-hitting form of the term "smooth-brain."

Adam: If pro is the opposite of con, what is the opposite of progress?
David: Dude, you're such a fucking lissencephaloid.
