Highly entertaining, yet subsequently illegal, outdoor game involving heavy, sharpmetal objects being thrown great distances at hoops placed on ground.
In a bittersweet victory, I losthalf my family in a game of lawn darts.
Very popular outdoor game, but dangerous. Also known as Jarts. You hold it by the fin, and toss in into the hoops to score points. In Dec. 19, 1988, they are banned, because of the deaths of 3 children and over 5000 serious injuries.
CPSC urges you to destroy or trash the lawn darts, and use the rings from the larn dart game for the replacement pieces for the ring toss game, or something similar.
Term used by High Powered Rocket Enthusiast to refer to the state of the rocket when the parachute fails to deploy.
It is not a good position for your rocket and usually causes considerate amount of damage. Very cool to watch as long as it's not your rocket and you haven't spent alot of cash and months building it.
Phhhhhhsssst...rocket takes off....Beautiful flight
It starts to curve down
Amateur Rocketeer: #*%@ my "chute" didn't fire! All my rockets turn into lawn darts!
Hits the earth cone first at a high rate of speed
Spectator: Man! That was cool!!!!!
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
