Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

Short definition: opposite to a newbie
long definition: Someone who grew up in a time now considered old school. An oldbie is someone who grew up in a time when facebook and smartphones didn't exist. This doesn't mean we weren't social animals, in fact, us oldbies regularly hung out and met people the good old fashioned way and had a freakin' awesome time. Back then, pills were cheap, cannabis was still class C, music wasn't as watered down and shit as it is now, but above all, people were REAL.
Facebook turned those who were Generation Y/Z into spoilt, internet tards with too much time on their hands. Generation Z now live sheltered lives with their parents and expensive gadgets. I feel sorry for you newbies, we grew up in the golden age of cartoons and did stuff the hard way. There was a time when we had free parties without interference from the law; and people had real experiences (e.g. camping) without the whole world knowing about it...

A twenty-something, MW3 gamer who holds down a fulltime job or is a student. An oldbie could smoke a joint and still come top of the leaderboard beating younger, inexperienced pre-pubescent males. This is because oldbie's have played first person shooter games for about 15-20 years - about the time wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Duke came out. Oldbie's will continue owning until the day they get married and have a mortgage... then it's game over.
