Regents Exam 

The most pointless waste of time and energy ever designed by Albany to further prove how ineffectual and idle they are.
Some regents are easy but tedious while others are hard and badly worded. The Regents is only noticed by Colleges in NY state and thats whether you passed or not. The system of passing is also flawed as hell. The passing could be 35 out of 86 or 45 or 55. Some regents have no curve and you get what you get. If you fail you either go to summer school and or take the test again (which is pointless as you probably forgot everything). Many Teachers feel that the regents is constraining their class room creativity. Some teachers spend more time warning you about how hard and stressful the regents is then encouraging you. You cant graduate without taking those stupid exams and this shit has been around since the 1870s so every generation can expect to be hit by this massive turd.
1)Teacher: Fail the regents exam and Jesus will hate you.

2)Student: I failed the Regents by one point.
Regents Board : Sucks to be you LOL

3)Student: I passed the Global Regents with a 100, do I get to go to college for free
College Outside New York : The fucks a Regis ?

4)Student: I freaking aced the Algebra regents man I got 98, I'm a fucking genius I'm going to Harvard!!
Student: Only New York Schools look at the regents and thats to see if you passed or not.

Regenerator

One of the more resilient enemies of Resident Evil 4. Created by injecting multiple parasites into a single human, they are nigh-impervious to gunfire, regrowing any lost limb seconds after they are severed.

In order to defeat one without pumping a dozen cases of shotgun shells or a few boxes of magnum rounds into it is to equip the semi-automatic rifle with the thermal scope and pick off all parasites under the skin of the offending Plagas motel.
"I tried blowing it's legs off, but it just flung itself at me! WTF?!"
"It's a regenerator, n00b. Lol."
Regenerator by Turkish ET May 4, 2006
A beautiful unique name that comes with hope. Loves people. Men fall in love with her smile. Brings happiness and passion to everyone with a smile of delight to their faces. Has a passion for performing art and beauty. A shoulder to cry on. Makes an amazing wifey. Men fall for her tricks. Loyal with a massive heart. Makes people come running back for her. Funny but smart. Attitude for the right things.
