The distorted audio sound that occurs when one has connectivity or performance issues during live streaming or video recording. It was named after JS Gilbert, a Live Streamer who often had this issue and thus, became known for it. People all over the web now use this term.

GillennialX

It's when a Generation X population member behaves like ones of the Millennial generation.

David had a meltdown and felt entitled to help over a problem he was having, for a 40-year-old mature man he surely exhibited some GillennialX behavior.

A gorgeous twink of a man who works for Polygon.com. He is known for his absurdist humor and brilliant fashion sense; one of these gave him his current job, and the other one secured it. He currently hosts a series on the Polygon Youtube channel called "Unraveled", where he rambles about games and such.

Often acronymized as BDG.

"Brian David Gilbert hosts Unraveled, whose namesake can related to my clothes upon seeing him."
"wait, BDG is hot in real life too?" - Anonymous Tumblr user.

Tara Gilesbie

The proud writer of the infamous fanfiction, My Immortal. It is a very loosely Harry Poter fanfic. The story is about her character, Ebony (or Enoby) Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way who is a witch and a vampire and bisexual.

She enjoys dressing like a whore having sex with Draco Malfoy in the Forbiden Forest going to Good Charlotte concerts in Hogsmeade and eating Count Chocula cereal with blood instead of milk.

Tara Gilesbie claims to be very goffik and even implied that she would slit her wrists with every flame she got for her story, though I am very sure that just encouraged them even more. Also, everyone who flamed was pronounced to be "prepz" and jealous that her fanfic got a total of 10,000 hits.

My Immortal has been delated from fanfiction, though many people attempt to repost it on a daily basis.

Feel free to do so yourself.

"Man, someone needs to tell Tara Gilesbie to just cheer up!"

trucker's tan

A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.

I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.

Boffin

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
