The frustrating event of your significant other monopolizing the use of your possession or property that normally would be yours to use whenever you wish.
When your live in girlfriend uses your personal PC even though there is an extra functional computer in the house. "I had to check my e-mail from the basement PC, due to Rachel usage."

When the husband takes to watching the game on the small kitchen TV over the oven. "I missed out on the soap operas while I was cooking dinner due to Fred usage."

Your jobless and carless boyfriend keeps taking the car. "I'd love to meet you at the restaurant, but can't make it due to Craig usage."

When X uses Y. "I could have done Y, but could not due to X usage."

Mutual Usage 

When two or more people use each other for sex. It is considered ok, because all of the parties consent to being used and in turn use the other parties involved. There are no feelings involved in mutual usage; it's just for kicks.
I slept with Arnold last night, and he didn't call me today. It's ok, though. I was using him too. It was totally mutual usage!

daily usage limit 

What MySpace puts in place to stop spammers by limiting how many comments, friend requests, and messages a person can send in a given day or timeframe.

Basically it's MySpace's way of saying "get the fuck off and get a fucking life"
*person tries to send a message*
Person: sounds great, see you there
MySpace: Warning, you have exceeded your daily usage limit
Person: fuck you Tom

redundant can-opener usage 

Refers to where you open a can of soup or fish wif a can opener even though said tasty-comestibles container has a built-in pull-tab.
Employing da "redundant can-opener usage" action isn't necessarily always a silly or time/effort-wasting operation --- it eliminates da hazardously-sharp torn-metal edge, and thus it can enable you to more-safely empty out da can's contents without risking cutting yourself (great for if you're having young and therefore-more-easily-injured children helping you prepare da meal), plus it allows you to more-thoroughly clean out da can instead of wastefully leaving a ring of perfectly-edible food inside da slightly-encroaching-into-da-can's-interior rim of da can.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
