Straight-Edge

A movement that took it's name from the Minor Threat song of the same name. This movement is largely credited to Ian MacKaye (Teen Idles, Minor Threat, Egg Hunt, Fugazi). While he is a founding member of the straight-edge movement he did not magically create a new way of life. There were people who chose to absatain from drugs, alcohol, and promiscuous sex before the Minor Threat song believe it or not. There is much debate over what the exact definition of a drug is and there is no exact answer. Each practitioner of the straight-edge lifestyle creates their own personalized definition. While straight-edge as a lifestyle (not a movement) was intended to be a positive force it quickly became a dividing force in the underground and violence erupted from it. Not to mention the all-too-common sense of superiority that often (unfortuneately) accompanies this this lifestyle. The 'x' markings on the hands originated as a result of people showing that they willingly chose not to drink. Many people believe that militant straight-edge is called "hardline". This is not true. Hardline is a set of six rules that state in addition to no drugs, alcohol, or sex you also must eat in accordance with a vegan diet, avoid cursing, and not take medicine. Straight-edge is not a movement for people who aren't tough enough for drinking and drugs but for those who have grown frustrated with a lifestyle dominated by those elements.

Charles: "Hey you wanna hit this bowl man?"
Zach (Who is straight-edge): "Really? I respect your way of life do me the same man."
Charles: "Well I thought it was worth a try."
Zach: "Well it wasn't. This isn't a trend to me."

walking straight

This is a reference to trying to walk straight (walk a line) and pass a field sobriety test, while drunk or intoxicated, in front of a Law Enforcement Officer.

A man passes a field sobriety test while drunk by walking in a straight line. By walking straight, he is released and free to go, even though he broke the law. He fooled the cop and does not have to go to jail.

Straight-Up Dankness

The quintessential manifestation of the divine God in human form. It is known that people with such overwhelming amount of power of this kind have irregularly large hards. For example, Jimmy Neutron, but greater. Usually, with such a divine manifestation of power, one has a vice of sorts. For example, to deal with the overwhelming power, the man who exemplifies Straight-Up Dankness may find a way to channel that energy, be it proper or improper according to law. It matters not whether it is proper or improper, because this man is pivotal in all our lives, spreading greatness, love, compassion, smarts, legitimacy, and most of all, Straight-Up Dankness, to all of our lives.

John felt a strange feeling as he felt a bolt of lightning appear to strike his subconscious. His eyes fixed on the man smoking outside of Kmart who appeared to have an aura about him. John said to Edward, "Now THAT is the definition of Straight-Up Dankness."
Edward replied, "Indeed," as the essence of the divine shocked him in a profound, life-changing way.

Straighttown

Any area known for being the residence of a preponderance of people of the heterosexual persuasion. Often a drab, dreary part of town. The word was made famous by a now-classic episode of the "Ellen" show in which Ellen DeGeneres and her friends make a treacherous excursion to Straighttown in order to buy a lounge chair with a cup holder on it.

Ellen: "We have to go down to Straighttown tonight."
Patrick: "Why on earth would you go down THERE!?"
Ellen: "Where else are we going to find a lounge chair with a cup holder built into it??"
