al-Sadr

Leader of Iraqi resistance faction the Mahdi (sometimes spelt Mehdi) army - named after a Shi'ite leader Ali Mehdi.

al-Sadr is a low-ranking Shi'ite cleric with a lot of support amongst Iraq's poor. He's been getting massive approval ratings in recent polls and is the second most popular person in Iraq, even among members of the rival Sunni religious denomination. This is probably because he is seen by many as the figurehead of resistance to the US occupation.

The US has tried to capture then to kill him, leading to clashes with his militia. He opposes US plans for the future of Iraq. Some commentators allege that he is allied to the Iranian government whereas others see him as a popular local leader.

Ironically, the US renamed Saddam City, a slum in Baghdad, as Sadr City after the occupation began - naming it after al-Sadr's father.

Nutshot

It is said of the situation where a person has the bad luck to make contact with his testicles against an undefined surface or object, intentioned or not.
Given the nature of the word, it is more appropriate to design cases where the interaction is made with a moving object, for example, a ball.
Although it is extremely painful for the victim, it tends to be considerably funny to people who witness it.

Today in the baseball game the pitcher took a nutshot; the baseball hit him in the nuts.

Man, I just watched the funniest nutshot video ever.

Nerd neck

A "human" that spends so much time playing video games that their posture is level nerd neck. Everytime anyone goes tryhard they hunch down and their neck gets longer there fore a nerd neck is always hunched down cause they're always going try hard. In other words a nerd neck is a try hard, since their neck is 100% longer than the average human being due to playing too many video games and taking them serious, nerd necks are not even considered human anymore but something more sad. Nerd necks are often found on fortnite, their natural habitat usually being tilted towers.
