Musical Imperialism

The act of forcing someone to listen to your favorite bands, or bands you "think they would like" in an effort to justify your musical tastes. This usually happens when first meeting someone whose musical tastes are unknown to you.

Joey: How was the car ride?

John: It was okay, except Alli insisted on playing her iPod at full blast the entire time "showing" me all these bands I would supposedly like. I like music and all, but it eventually got obnoxious.

Joey: Well golly gee willikers, that sounds like a textbook example of Musical Imperialism.

Musical Imperialism

Everyone knows that guy/girl who always comes to your party and stealthily plugs in their own iPod between songs. You were bumping old school Outkast, but now you have to settle for "She Wolf" by Shakira. You shrug it off because you're winning at pong at the moment, but let's be honest, that's musical imperialism.

Josey: Hey, man, I really like this country playlist. It's totally appropriate for the setting and provides a really good vibe....wait, who the fuck just put on Ludacris?

Hal: It's Ashley. She's always stealing the stereo.

Josey: Dude! That's musical imperialism at its worst right there.

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!"

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).
