Elon Musk Effect

When you think so outside of the box people think you're crazy, but your idea ends up being way better than anyone thought.

Inspires people to come up with ideas to fix problems we didn't know we had.

Bro 1: "Bro, what if we made rockets that landed themselves upright after their flight, and dug tunnels under Los Angeles so we don't have to deal with traffic?"

Bro 2: "Bro that's crazy....so crazy it might just work."

Bro 1: "Thanks bro, I knew I could inspire you to think like a billionaire toddler. I call that shit the Elon Musk Effect!"

Elon Musk Effect

1) The name of the effect where someone has an idea for a product that is so outside the box, no one thinks it will work, but it works way better than people thought it would.

2) (On Twitter) When Elon Musk links something or references a website, his followers (eg, the musketeers), will immediately click the link, overwhelming the site's servers and acting as a DDOS, meaning only the first several people to click the link will see the page, and the rest will have to wait for the site to die down.

1) Elon Musk: What if... like... we landed rockets on a drone ship in the ocean?

Everyone: lmao good luck with that
Elon Musk: *does it*
Everyone: Guess thats just the Elon Musk Effect

2) Elon Musk: stankmemes.com strikes again
everyone: *goes to site*
everyone: site is down, I blame the Elon Musk Effect.

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.

"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"
"I mean I guess bro"

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.

The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

cornholio

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.

"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
