Crack Converters

Crack Converters is the street name by which the establishment called "Cash Converters" is known. This is due to the fact that when a crack head has wogged electrical goods from your house he/she takes them to Crack Converters. Its an establishment doing crackheads and people on the dole a good turn.

Come on now we've both got our giro cheques from the dole office we can go down Crack Converters and score them Technics decks we saw Scaggy Pete with the other day.

converse all stars

There was a time where if you wore converse you were really alternative, now however, the chavs of the world have discovered them and walk about thinking they are cool in their pink pair. Then you get the wannabes, they dont know who they 'wannabe' but they sure as hell are trying to be them, thinking they are the first ones to wear them, then buy a pair in every colour. Rock on!

Go on, buy a pink sparkly pair, you know you want to!

converse

Daddy's old basketball shoes. Now bought by teenaged girls wanting to be "retro". Often worn with clothes bought from American Eagle.

Old Guy: I used to wear converse when I played b-ball with the boys...
Teenaged Girl: Whatever. I'm going to the mall to buy new shoes.

torque converter

The device used in a vehicle equipped with an automatic transmission. Used to change gears, taking the place of a clutch, in a manual transmission. Has many downfalls, but commonly used in the United States because, sadly, no one can drive stick anymore. For example, the hydraulic fluid can be starved on hills, leading to transmission failure. While pulling large loads, the converter may overheat, which is why it is not used for large trucks. Robs the engine of power, as power is lost in the conversion process. Fuel efficiency is also lost, same reason as above. Excessive repair costs, as the fluid in the converter is required to be replaced every so often.

Torque converters make baby seals cry.
