Industrial Metal 

A hybrid genre created by combining - wait for it - Industrial and Heavy Metal. The genre is characterized by electronics-heavy production, including looped, distorted guitar riffs, distorted vocals, drum machines, and relatively heavy use of keyboards and sampling. The genre was pioneered in the late 1980s by Ministry, Godflesh, and KMFDM, and rose to prominence in the 1990s with massive successes like Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, White Zombie, and Marilyn Manson. Essentially died after that, with most modern bands in the genre (having no interest in electronic music) attempting to imitate the "death metal" sound found in Godflesh's Streetcleaner and Fear Factory's Demanufacture without understanding what makes those albums great, and failing spectacularly. One is extremely hard-pressed to name any good industrial metal bands formed after the '90s.

Industrial metal is often the source of endless online arguments about the definitions of "industrial" and "metal", usually instigated by people who only listen to one (or neither) of those genres but want to appear more knowledgeable about music than they actually are.

Not to be confused with Industrial Rock.
KMFDM, Ministry, Rob Zombie, Handzul und Gretel, Fear Factory, and Rammstein are industrial metal bands.

mammy mentality 

Mammy mentality is the possible genetic connection between the mother of the slavery genre and today’s modern African-American woman. She shakes her head with the “I know everything attitude” as portrayed in the move “Gone With The Wind.” That movie shows the mammy as the head of the black family.

This explains an African-American’s attitude. It is genetic. These traits bring problems to the modern women. The dominance and aggressive behaviors are traits of the mammy from the plantation days.

She ran the household and took care of even the men after a long back-breaking day in the fields.
African-American men can’t stand this mentality and date outside the race. This way of thinking is outdated like the buggy whip. They have outlived their useful purpose.
It's your mammy mentality that is causing the guy to walk out of the door and have nothing to do with you.

MentarHD 

Standard Definition video remastered to High Definition video. Often times found in anime fansubs where videos originate from downsampled High Definition sources, ie. Standard Definition broadcasts of High Definition productions. While MHD video quality cannot compare to real High Definition video, its artificial enhancements can give a visual illusion of increased video quality. The MHD (abbr.) format is proprietary due to the price paid in laffs. Invented by Mentar of Eclipse Fansubs.
<Mentar> Original material HD ---> Station airs in normal res ---> win! Still HD quality attainable (this is what we have)

sheet metal worker 

Trade far superior to all other construction trades. The only craftsman who makes what they install.. duct work. While they may be the loudest on the site, they will tell you to get fucked if you complain. Usually heavy drinkers, with a bad attitude. Huge dicks. Will sneak away with your wife at the local neighborhood christmas party.
Damn. You see those sheet metal workers? I cant tell if thats the tool belt or the tool itself

That sheet metal worker is a bad ass, you greenhorns better steer clear of him

Blackened Death Metal 

Blackened Death Metal is a subgenre of metal music that combines elements (ideological or otherwise) of black metal and death metal. Blackened Death is usually confused with black which is understandable however there is a noticeable difference between black and blackened death. Blackened death metal may commonly utilize lower tuning than used in conventional black metal however still uses the trademark alternatively picked minor chords. You really could think about it as black metal with more bass or lower pitched black metal. Blackened death is also usually far more satanic in lyrics and imagery than standard death metal and it is also a little more thrashy. Blackened death metal is an excellent hybrid genre because it combines the most evil with the strongest and puts it into one animal, so to speak, resulting in the most serious possible music that everyone would find either scary or badass with no amusement whatsoever.
Belphegor and Behemoth are some of the most prominent Blackened Death metal bands.

There needs to be more Blackened death bands out there.

Full Metal Panic is a great anime.
