at the drive-in

A band from El Paso, TX. They were highly successful in the mid-90s underground scene until the single "One Armed Scissor" was released and played quite frequently on MTV in the late 90s. But even during their popularity on MTV, they still stuck to their roots, playing with the same energy as they did when they were still underground and not conforming to the stereotypical MTV egocentric band. They eventually broke up in 2001, but the reason why is still in debate. Some say it's because they didn't want to become mainstream, some say it was artistic differences, and some say it's a mix of the two. Either way, their break up formed two different bands: Sparta, which is similar to At the Drive-In, but not as energetic in my opinion, and The Mars Volta, which is quite different from At the Drive-In and the main reason to support the "artistic differences" reason for the break up.
Damn, I wish I'd seen At the Drive-In live when I had the chance.

They fuck you at the drive-thru

Originally uttered by Leo Geotz (played by Joe Pesci) in "Lethal Weapon 2", it has come to signify a grudging acceptance of a shitty situation that one is powerless to change.
What, you just paid a $5 ATM fee to withdraw $40? Well, they fuck you at the drive-thru.

parkway drive

an awesome metalcore band hailing from byron bay Australia. The album 'Killing with a smile' (2005) has been a great success for them. It was produced by Killswitch engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz. It has insane guitar harmonies and gut-busting breakdowns. 'Smoke Em If Ya Got Em' is an awesome song that any metalhead will mosh to.
Taking their name from the name of the street thay had their band practise on.

flash drive

A memory device that is plugged into the USB drive of a computer. A flash drive is usually about 1 1/2 to 2 inches long and can store from much more than a floppy disc.
I kept losing the data on my floppy discs so I went to the store and bought a flash drive.

martin luther king jr. drive

A road in almost every big city (sometimes refered to as Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway) that strangly always has bad crime and is notorious for homeless people and crack heads. If you ever get lost in Atlanta, no matter where you are, you will definitely end up on MLKJ Drive. One must be very careful while traveling any Martin Luther King Jr. Drive or Pkwy.

At The Drive-in

Quite simply one of the best bands ever. Too bad they split up :(
My favourite songs by At The Drive-in are "One Armed Scissor", "Cosmonaut" and "Hourglass".
