APOCALYPS3
Coined by (and authored by) Strell, in reference to the PS3 launch fiascos that resulted in various muggings, flag-pole face plantings, and probably overwhelming amounts of "just friends" spooning between all sorts of people in a feeble effort to keep warm in the brutal frigid teat of nature. Also, people got shot.
This is mostly due to extreme shortages from manufacturing problems, and possibly due to an attempt to artificially increase hype. Because of scarcity, systems were selling on eBay for several thousand dollars, well above the MSRP, which prompted a "me too wants money" reaction from the general public in the United States.

2010 APOCALYPS3
The day that thousands upon thousands of PS3 owners turned on their PS3 to find out that they have been kicked out of PSN.
Worse still, they experienced errors when they tried to play games offline, such as the deletion of trophy information and the resetting of dates back to 1/31/1999, akin to Y2K.

TLDU
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
Me: Woah! TLDU!
