Nintendo's new online service that launched at the same time as Mario Kart DS. The idea is great, Nintendo games online. The execution of friends is done worse in Mario Kart DS than it is in a third party game, Tony Hawk's American Sk8tland.
Proof that Nintendo means well but dropped the freaking ball:
To play someone specific online requires the exchange of friend codes. A process that can't be done in game. So if I play a stranger, have a good match, and want to add him to my friend list I can't.
Disconnecting results in no penalty to the disconnecting player.

Get the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection mug.A term used to describe a wrong, yet trivial, annoying, and harmless “crime” that is not punishable by law.
A Connecticut crime can be, but is not limited to: budging a person in line, or taking a highly limited item out of another person's shopping cart when there are none left.
Often committed at a local coffee house, farmer's market or other place with a high concentration of trends or wealth, yet it can also extend to any other aspect of life, such as in the supermarket or shopping mall. Person committing the "Connecticut crime" may be "white", as in a "stuff white people like" person. However, needless to say, the Connecticut crime does not have one stereotype of offenders and does not discriminate against victims.
Note: Called Connecticut crime due to its elitist nature and petty, country club-esque stigma

Sarah: Excuse me, but I just saw you take that out of my shopping cart and put it into yours...can I have it back? It's the last one left.
Stephanie: No, sorry, it's mine now.
Sarah: Wow, you just committed a severe Connecticut crime...

The second-phase incarnation of the basic bitch. These are painfully average chicks who just happen to have suspiciously nice hair. Typically holding degrees from random midwestern schools, in shit that doesn't really matter. Their chromatic equivalent would be beige. They're really into Ann Taylor LOFT sweaters, Pinterest, and weddings. You end up marrying them because your parents approve, and there's no good reason not to. Often targeting men of higher economic class, they are essentially the most insidious form of gold digger. Rarely do they have anything nice to say; they are usually inordinately snotty. They'll almost never give blowjobs, and will drag you to couples counseling after discovering your Brazzers account, citing "emotional infidelity."
Jessica is totally a typical Connecticut blonde. She found out Adam got a lap dance at his bachelor party 4 years ago, now she's making him sleep on the couch, and staged an intervention with his mom and sisters to address his "issues." Is she for real?
