I had a very challenging childhood. My parents pushed me through school and out into the real world without giving me an ounce of real love.

The Challenge is the 40 day period of Lent when a man cannot masturbate. The Challenge is a long and gruesome waiting period. Not many men can hold out.
"hey man, how far did you get in the challenge last year?"

"30 seconds, what about you?"

Corporate euphemism for issue, problem, malfunction, or disaster. Used by corporate managers as a lame attempt to appear positive in the midst of major problems.

Something that you say out loud when someone is bullshitting you, or when you simply don't believe what the fuck they're talking about. Beware, for the bullshitter (aka challenge-artist) may be sneaky about it by slightly tweaking the story/comment to increase their cool-meter. You may also throw out a red flag (like in the NFL) if you have one handy, at the moment that the bullshit is dropped on you. You will find that the same people are constantly "challenged", because they like to live lies, and they feel better about themselves by making up stories about something 'cool' that they did, or something 'cool' that happened to them.

One of the original four space shuttles built by NASA in the early 1980s, which also included Columbia, Atlantis, and Discovery.

Broke apart 73 seconds after liftoff on January 28, 1986, killing all seven crewpeople aboard, including schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe.
Everyone born prior to the Reagan Administration knows where they were when they heard the Challenger has exploded. It was the most tragic disaster related to space exploration the world had ever seen.

(Challenger II) One of the Best Army Tanks in the world, utilised by the British armed forces. It is the size of a large garage, weighs over 60 tonnes and carries enough of an armoury to wipe out a far greater number of T55 Soviet tanks as was proved in Iraq.
I'd much rather be in a Challenger II than one of the 14 odd T55's that got destroyed
