Derived from "Dark" and "Dickwad". At Burning Man, a Darkwad is someone who is walking around or riding a bike at night with insufficient illumination. With the thousands of bike riders, art vehicles and pedestrians swarming about on the Playa, it is everyone's responsibility to make sure that they can be easily seen at night from a distance. People most commonly accomplish this with LEDs, Glow Sticks, Glow Wire, and Head Lanterns mounted either on their bike or on their person; The more the better. People who fail to do so get cat-called, ridiculed and humiliated by the other Playa denizens.
I was at the Opulent Temple last night, saw Carl Cox, and was on my way to the twin domes to see Bassnectar when I plowed into a Darkwad head-on. Good thing I was rolling my balls off so I barely felt a thing. I "gifted" him with a swift kick to the nutz, adjusted my assless chaps, dusted off my purple plush cowboy hat, and carried on.

darkwatch 

(v) Also known as a "black check", this is the action one performs when a black joke is on the verbal horizon of their tongue. This action can range from motions as minimal as turning one's head around, to searching the entire area thoroughly; leaving no stone unturned. It is commonly known that black people generally use pottery as a hiding spot, so one should thoroughly search through that ficus to the very last spec of soil. If one's friend forgets the darkwatch, it is mandatory that said friend shouts "darkwatch", regardless of environment, privacy, or number of obvious black people in proximity.
Ted: "Okay, so a black guy walks into a bar..."
Dave: "Wait! Darkwatch!"
Ted: *looks around the room* "Okay, so a black guy walks into..."
Ted was then shot by an assault rifle wielding black man hiding in a vase across the street at the pottery barn.

Darkwatch 

Halo with a vampire. The controls are exactly the same, the guns are strikingly similar, there are 10 different sensitivity levels, 4 difficulty levels: easy, normal, hard and absurdly difficult. You can hold only 2 weapons, there is a female voice in your head during single player, like Cortana. You can exploit multiplayer maps with the vampire jump to get to places you should normally get to, just like halo grenade jumping. The campaign is linear and usually very simple to figure out what to do or where to go next. You have a shield that lets you tank damage before hiding and recovering. You have a 2x zoom for your right thumbstick, or R3 for PS2. All in all however, it's a very good game in the same fashion Counterstrike is a good game.
Counterstrike is to half-life as Darkwatch is to Halo. However Darkwatch is not a mod, it's basically the same game.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
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!
