horse armor

The first downloadable content available for the Xbox 360 game Oblivion. Upon its release, there was an uproar in the gaming community due to its nearly useless feature set and and relatively high price tag ($2.50 US). Since then, the term horse armor has been used to describe video game features that are useless or overpriced.
Can you believe they're charging $10 extra for the horse armor in Madden 07: Hall of Fame Edition?

It seems like every year video game developers expect us pay $50 for a sequel and all they've added is some horse armor.

up-armor

1. Verb: To upgrade, strengthen, install, or add to existing protection against weapons (usually metal plates) on the human body, military vehicle or aircraft or ships, or to fortifications.

2. Noun: The upgraded armor installed on people, vehicles, or locations.

Originating in American military parlance, especially during the Iraq War, and shortened from "upgrading armor."
1. Soldiers were digging through local landfills for pieces of scrap metal and compromised ballistic glass to up-armor their vehicles.

2. In response to the vulnerability of HMMWVs (Humvees) operating in Iraq, Up-Armor Kits were designed and installed on M998 HMMWVs. But no matter how much up-armor the sluggish humvees packed on, the best hope to putting an end to the violence was to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Armida

1 a : a girl who, although tiny in stature, is bound with an abundance of charisma. Friendly, caring, and thoughtful, she attracts many new people. She thinks in colorful palettes that swirl into meticulous lines and shapes. She keeps her day-to-day refreshing by looking through childlike eyes. But don't be hoodwinked by her apparent porcelain doll innocence, for she throws a monster wicked house party, flooding floors and arousing police activity at an apartment near you. If there is ever wonder of what goes bump in the night, it is probably the backbeat of a bass-driven song and the continuous conversational clamor during one of her twilight ice cream socials. Overall, you need more people like her in your life. Make an effort to know her, and she'll bring some brighter hues into your perspective.

2 a : not a square, nor a triangle; perhaps a rectangle; suggested by her friend to be a star

3 a : the arm of Ida

2. "Man, stop being a square. And stop trying to cut corners; it makes you look like a triangle. Time to get into shape, Armida shape."

3. "Aw, Ida broke her arm"

Canadian Armed Forces

A small but well trained, motivated and professional fighting force. The Canadian Forces (or CF for short) is an entity that encompasses the Canadian Army, Navy and Air Force; although each element maintains its own structure within the CF, for administrative reasons, the were unified under one command in the 1970s. This made recruitment and budget planning simpler, as quotas and allocations (personnel or financiary) are centrally planned as to allow the CF to better accomplish the overall tasks and missions it handles.

The CF was primarily used as a peacekeeping force during the Cold War (the Korean War being the only event where Canadians participated in full-scale armed conflict during that period), but with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Canadian Forces faced increasingly complex scenarios, which necessitated a review of the overall mission of the CFs. Although Canada remains dedicated to peace and stability in the world, the Canadian Forces are today participating in active warfighting in Afghanistan, having taken over responsability of the volatile Kandahar province, seat of power of the Taliban regime, from the US. The CF have been extremely successful on operations, though have taken a number of casualties, mainly from improvised explosive devices, or IEDs.

The last few years have seen the CF resurgent. From the dark times of the early 1990s, when many scandals, massive underfunding and extremely severe shortage of personnel tarnished the Forces' honour and image, to the current level of popular support for the servicemen and women (if not for the mission in Afghanistan itself) and the moral and financial support of the government, much has changed. The CF of today is strong, proud and ever dedicated to fulfilling its duty to the nation and its people.
-There are currently 2000+ members of the Canadian Armed Forces deployed and fighting in Afghanistan.
-Altough the CF doesn't have all the big toys, the Canadian infantryman is possibly the best equiped footslogger in the world, even outshining his American counterpart in personnal equipment.

Armond White

An Armond White is somebody who disagrees with you/others/the establishment purely to get attention. Similar to a Devil's Advocate, but instead of advancing an argument, the Armond White just wants to annoy you or feel rebellious.

Named after the movie critic Armond White, who hates films like "Slumdog Millionare" and thinks "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" is a, quote, "modern classic."

Can be shortened to just Armond for a more obscure reference.
"Are you kidding me? The Beatles suck! Vanilla Ice is MILES ahead of them. Have you even listened to music before?"

"Fine, Armond White, be that way..."
