In StarCraft, a term used for players who play all three races: Protoss, Zerg, and Terran. Oftentimes these players will play Random.

The term can have positive or derogatory meaning, as these players generally lack the specific depth of skill and knowledge dude to their superficial understanding of each race; with few exceptions (LiquidTLO).

The term was derived from taking a few letters of each race, 'Pro' from 'Protoss,' 'Ze' from 'Zerg,' and 'Ta' from 'TerrAn,' and pronounced to rhyme with 'Rosetta,' which references the presence of a number of different languages and the ability to unlock the meaning of them.

"Proz." for short.
Q: Do you play Terran, Zerg, or Protoss?

A: I play ProZeTa.

GoSuGamer1: That noob is playing ProZeTa again.

GoSuGamer2: Don't invite him to any more games until he picks a fucking race.

in all North American cities and towns ( except Montreal, Toronto, Boston, NYC and San Francisco- suburbs not included), an offensive term for the public transit (bus, metro, tram, etc.) system
The reason the 5 cities mentioned above are excluded from the definition of proletariat transportation is because they have a well developed, in North American standards, public transit system.

Proletarian

Marxist terminology for an individual who is a member of the industrial working class, a social phenomenon appearing during the transformation of societies through the industrial revolution of western Europe during the 19th century, Britain in particular.

Proletarians with minds and ideas of their own are people the middle class are afraid of. Even middle class leftists, who use social change movements to mobilise people to their own ends, who use empty slogans in order to attract frustrated workers.

The problem with this is that for proletarians to bring about change that will improve their lives, it has to be born from them. The leadership idea has to be overcome, as does the leadership itself existing in social change movements, who are mainly middle class people. The middle class in their various positions in society are antagonistic towards workers, and are integral to the control and pacification of workers through the various institutions they represent and control, even in areas of "social care". The relationships the middle class have with workers are bound up with rules of inequality, power and privilege, or rulers and ruled.

A workers movement for social change is not a genuine workers movement when the leadership are middle class. The power will not have gone away from the oppressors to the oppressed.

Karl Marx himself was middle class, and individuals within this class can help workers, and join them, but leadership, if it has to be used, must come from the workers and not the middle class, which does not occur with social change movements today.

To have exclusivity for one class is wrong people may suggest. But, in the main workers are exploited by a capitalist system, and middle class regulators- these watchmen, lackies of the system, have more power and postion in society, and this is of deteriment to workers, and relationships between them will carry negative qualities that couild ruin social change.

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.

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.
