A release of a product, especially a computer component, in extremely limited quantities, making it very difficult for consumers to get their hands on. The purpose of this is generally for a company to be able to say "we have the fastest chip", before they can actually produce large numbers of them.
Thus, the product isn't really "launched" to the market, it's only launched in press releases, hence "paper" launches.
"Hey man, I can't find any vendors that sell the new, ultra-fast Intel chip. Have you found it anywhere yet?"
"Nope, nobody has it. It's just another paper launch."
A japanese anime produced by GAINAX in 2007. Has achieved great fame on the internet in a short time. Thought the show itself was popular and overall very good, the sheer level of epic and manlyness caused many watchers to hype the series.
No one is exactly sure why this is, but Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is said to be the true definition of the term "epic". Viewers are advised to be cautious.
Whether or not you decide to watch the anime, it's important to note that if you try it out, you will never look at sunglasses the same way you used to.
Sunglasses, real men, half naked chicks, galaxy sized robots, epic speeches, from boy to man themes, identity problems. This is the recipe of TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN.
There is a point in the night of drinking when you have passed the point of no return, or you have launched. After you have launched are bound to black out, be an ass, or get into a fight. If it looks like your headed in that direction you might be able to refrain from that last drink that would put you over the edge and effectively abort launch.
Kellee told me to abort launch after she witnessed me double fistingtwo whiskey rocks.
Eric didn't yeld to my warnings to abort launch and ended up hitting on everyone at the bar.
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
