Rapid application development. Used to describe programming languages such as visual basic that speed up development time.

By the time I wrote a game engine in C++, the game was finished in Visual Basic.

Rad

Possibly the most over-used word in the hardcore/emo scene. Used as kudos towards someone/something.

"Hey, rad black jeans, maybe I should get a pair."
"The way you did your hair looks rad!"

Rad

A term used to describe a punk who doesn't restrict him or herself to one genre or another, though most likely has a certain preference. Describes one who is completely devoted to music; holding it and its ideals above all else. It is a state of such complete awesomeness that when someone achieves it, it will no longer matter to them.

Rad is for the kids whom Music=Life. See Hardcore Bandana
