Another name synonymous for the Eastern Conference of the National Basketball Association(NBA) that is ridiculed by the Western Conference for their subpar team records and easy path to the NBA Finals every year. The conference is often plagued with the lack of talent and often top-heavy records that allows the same teams such as the 2010-14 Miami Heat to reach the NBA Finals year to year with minimal or no real competition. The disparity is often attributed to Michael Jordan's second retirement from the Chicago Bulls in 1998.
Joe: Did you hear that the Miami Heat went to four straight finals? Now that's an impressive feat only done three times before.
Miller: Yeah, but they play in the Leastern Conference so it's not that impressive with how easy they had it out there. Now had they gone to four straight finals in the Western Conference that would be no doubt an impressive feat. Just look at the 9th seed 2013-14 Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference, they would have been a 3rd seed in the Leastern Conference.
Joe: When you put it like that I guess you're right.
A somewhat obscure Edutainment console made by Leapfrog Inc popular from 2003-2009 that was mostly used by strict helicopter parents as an alternative to "normal" video game consoles for their children. Is very similar design-wise to an original game boy advance, but possesses a backlight and a primitive touchscreen. Most of the games featured on the console were based on various movie and TV show licenses, most if not all being poor-quality minigame collections. Some of the standout games on the console included Batman: Power in Numbers, Sonic X, (the most obscure sonic game of all time) and Star Wars The Clone Wars Jedi Math.
Guy 1: Hey, do you remember the leapster? You know, that edutainment console similar to the game boy advance?
Guy 2: No?
Guy 1: Wow, it really is that obscure.
An educational game system produced by LeapFrog.
They're meant to teach kids English, math, and other stuff, but it's ridiculously easy to install custom OSes on them.
Guy: You remember the Leapster Explorer?
Other guy: Yeah, I hacked mine and installed emulators on it.
Guy: Oh, really? I didn't know you could do that.
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.
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.
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 peecalculus.
