Alt+F4

The biggest life changing function in Windows. Used to close Chrome in Computer Science classes. It is also used in online classes to mute the volume of teacher. Thanks Microsoft for this stuff

My teacher asked me to volume down and I told him to press Alt+F4. I escaped from an online class

altoholic

When used in reference to MMORPG's (Massive Multi-Player Online Role Playing Games), such as World of Warcraft or Everquest, refers to a person who creates many different characters, rather than just one or two. May also be used to refer to a player who creates characters on many different servers of the same game, where the experiences they see will often be different from each other.

Use of the word is intended to be comical in nature, a play on the word "alcoholic" and will often garner laughter from others if used correctly.

Often only used online, and usually only on chat forums.

"I have over twenty characters spread out over five servers! I'm such an altoholic!"

Alté

Means 'alternative', often misunderstood for a habit, it is a lifestyle; a group of Nigerian youth with a unique sense of fashion and music. Alté fashion embraces a retro and vintage style, but is some how tagged as "new school". Alté music on the other hand is not mainstream, it is a melodic, whimsy, almost-spiritual groove. The melody and harmony somehow layer over each other, making it a seamless experience in the ear.

I hung out with Ryan last night, he's very much enveloped in this alté music now.

Alternative facts

A fancy way to say bullshit.

"You're saying it's a falsehood and Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that,"

Altrollism

Benevolent trolling. Trolling a person or group while benefitting others.

Ruth showed her altrollism when she donated vaccines in the name of anti-vaccination cultists.

Altima Energy

You know when you're driving down the road and all the sudden a car is swerving in between lanes and speeding and just all around a bad driver. Yeah it was probably someone in a Nissan Altima. Come to the south if you must see.

Woah who was that reckless fuckwit of a driver thats shit at driving. Damn altima energy.

Alternative Music

A less intense version of rock and a more intense version of pop. Typically strays from the generic lyrics of pop. Lots of sub-categories, but the main two are alternative rock and alternative pop. Pretty much anything that doesn't fall into the distinct categories like rock, pop, jazz, classical, etc.

It also includes a lot of musical techniques found in other genres. Not very limited creatively.

Alternative music is amazing. Some bands are The Strokes, Vampire Weekend, Arctic Monkeys, New Politics, Weezer, The Kooks, Cage the Elephant, The Moth and The Flame, alt-J, Modest Mouse, Paramore, Two Door Cinema Club, The Wombats, The Black Keys, The White Stripes, Cold War Kids, Phoenix, Muse, Bastille, and Keane. Just to name a few.
