The next-generation data storage media disk, developed primarily by Toshiba. Although voted as the successor to the DVD officially by the International DVD Forum Organization, it is in close competition with the Blu-ray, developed by companies like Sony and Hewlett Packard. (A similar competition took place with the DVD, Toshiba's prototype ultimately chosen over Sony's).
It employs a 405 nm blue laser and has each capacity layer is 15gb. Toshiba has developed a dual-layered 30gb disk and a 45gb triple-layered disk.
Companies supporting the HD DVD include NEC, Sanyo, Microsoft, New Line Cinema, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, and Warner Bros.

girl grip
The ability girls and women have developed to hold several items at once in one hand. The skill has been developed due to the lack of pockets in women's clothing.
I thought she'd need multiple trips to carry her phone, keys, wallet, and Starbucks to her car since she needed the other hand to open the door, but she used her impressive girl grip to carry everything in one hand.

Fleg
The word 'flag' as pronounced by people with thick Belfast accents. The term is a perfect encapsulation of the disproportionate and overblown reaction to the removal of the Union Jack (as in 'de fleg') from above City Hall in Belfast. Where previously it had flown for 365 days per year, it is now flown on 17 designated days of the year - in line with many other British cities.
The event caused a portion of the Protestant community ('fleggers') to make international pricks of themselves as they proceeded to wreck the fucking place, claiming it was another erosion of a 'British' identity they perceive to have been under attack since the horrifying spectre of equality reared its head in Northern Ireland.
The word 'fleg' - and indeed 'fleggers' - fittingly describes a section of humanity unconcerned with knowledge, reality or the vagaries of the English language. Like America's tea-baggers they are ruled by instinct, fear and paranoia with a side dish of rampant bigotry and startling ignorance of the world around them.
