wild style 

A type of graffiti style that is complex and hard to read. Often found on Burners.

Usually the letters will intertwine within itself and often other shapes and lines that have no relation to the letters will overlap or intertwine within each letter. Causing a very "busy" look to the peice.

Wild Style 

In Graffiti Art.

Original: Interlocked Letters
Contemporary: Unreadable Letters

coined by "Tracy 168" in 1975, it is orginally the name of his crew. but when they began writing the name next to their pieces, people thought they were explaining the style they were using. which were letters that "interlocked" it was a personal style they developed. but the pieces were readable. this is the orginal term. but through the years and by the graffiti masses the term evolved to "Unreadable Letters".
(Original) Example: Oh, I dig that Wild Style Man!!!
(Contemporary) Example: I don't know where the letter starts and ends in that Wild Style!

Don't listen to the person oboves definition. It's not being crazy. That's ridiculous. Wildstyle is a legendary movie from the 80's representing the birth of hip hop, the NYC subculture, and the 3 elements of hip hop. Breaking, Writing, and rapping. Wildstyle/wild styles is also when graff writers stray away from doing pieces in straight letters and they go all out and go crazy with their shit.
I did a mad wild style top to bottom on the 6 line last night, hopefully it will be running on monday.

The best and only true hip hop movie/documentary ever made which focused on the unification of Graf, B-Boying, MCing and DJing and also bringing the sounds of the Bronx to Manhattan. Excellent party scene which truly captured the essence of old school hip hop.
Wildstyle is one dope ass flick along with The Freshest Kids.

one of the few ways of graff. Wildstyle is a very abstract way of giving you're definition to other people, but it's the best way to do it. For example, if you only do throwups then, then people'll start to think, "man this keed be a posa`". So if you wanna get people to know yo name, den pick up some freakin spray paint and go tag so place man, so you can be close to bein known!!!
oh damn..........ima stop tagging fo' a while, dat wildstyle over dere just shut me the hell up

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.
