Parent Television Council 

A bunch of goody two shoe arseholes who believe it's a better choice to watch after other children when instead, they should be watching their own.

They're globally known as "attention whores" and "giant cry babies"

They also believe in the fact that the world will be balanced, if there were only G - Rated shows on TV. If that was the case, teenagers would ultimately die from boredness.

The point is, PTC is nothing but a bunch of selfish adults, who believe that Television will kill the minds of ANYONE. If they read this, they would waste their valuable time tracking my ass down, and direct me to the Police because I was "cyber bullying".

This is nothing but the truth.

Educational Television

The most annoying and the most boring thing to happen to television. Parents advise their children to watch it, but they eventually can't take the trauma anymore. Appropriate for children 5 and under, but children over 5 usually watch more non-educational, but still lame and boring TV. Do you want to learn where Dora The Explorer goes next? Well lets not find out, and watch something worth while, mmkay?
My little brother is watching his favorite educational television show in the living room, he has that thing too loud and it's interfering with my video game!

Daytime Television

A bland, nauseating mix of courtroom TV, televangelists, tawdry talk shows, infomercials, moldy game shows, depressing news stories, gagworthy soap operas that lower the already low standard, televised church services, inaccurate weather forecasts, increasingly vacant programs for pre-K children, and instructional quilting/home improvement programs. The TV equivalent of cold oatmeal, or cafeteria food.

Antonyms: Primetime Television, adult swim.
"I'd rather go to work/school with a stomach virus than sit at home nibbling saltines and watching Judge Joe Brown. Daytime Television just makes me feel sicker."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
