Builds Character

A term many working classes and deeply religious people use to have an impressionable and coddled young person experience something unpleasant or humiliating, usually hard labor, something embarrassing, or confinement. Results usually end up either having the person's spirit broken or ending up with being just as much of an asshole as the person enforcing it.

Building

Something that tells you not to be racist.

Stan: Don't be racist, I am a building
And I’ve got news for you
Hey there Steven
Blacks and whites are even
How would you feel if the joke was on you
Blacks, whites, Indians and Spanish
They all came from the sea
We all have to share the same world
Trixie won't you sing with me
Trixie: Hey Stan
Stan: Hey there Trixie
Trixie: What you singing about?
Stan: Oh not much, just skyscraper stuff, like racism
Trixie and Stan: Don't be racist, we both are buildings
Listen to what we mean
Love one another
Sisters and brothers
Or we will haunt your dreams
Or we will haunt your dreams
Or we will haunt your dreams

Chrysler Building

A nickname for one's erect penis.

Often used in cocky masculine conversation. Often found more humorous when talking in an overtly stereotypical Italian-American accent while making radical hand gestures up and down one's thigh in order to demonstrate it's size.

Bart: "How 'bout that little blond broad? You gonna hit that tonight?"

Johnny: "Oh, Bart! What'da you think?! You know I'm gonna go back to her place and give her my Chrysler Building!!! Ehhh...ohhh!"

Clearly not here to build an encyclopedia

What Wikipedia admins will ban you for if you aren't boring and robotic like the rest of the userbase.

I often get banned with "Clearly not here to build an encyclopedia" as the reason by the robo-admins, whose edits consist of 90% reversions using rollback or twinkle, which are lame admin tools to make Wikipedia even more usesless

builds character

Going to camp builds character!

Killing your cat of 13 years may be gross, but it is something that has to be done and it builds character.

He: FINALLY!!
