tough all over, bud

Originated on Taste of Chaos 2007 in tour catering, it has since spread to Warped Tour and Family Values; it's also been popularized among high school students in Shanghai, China by an American grad student teaching English/History classes there.

Initially used to describe life on the road (hard work, constant annoyances, temperature extremes), it also checkmates complainers by referencing the universal toughness of life (and says, "I don't care".)

Can also be said to oneself after failing / not getting what you want / getting in trouble.

"So this stagehand came back to the kitchen and said he didn't get enough to eat"
"What'd you do?"
"I said, LOOK BUD, it's tough all over"
______________

(whiner droning on about work nonsense during cartoon time on the bus):
"such a bad day, im so pissed off at this guy cause..."
"yeah it's tough all over, bud...now shut the fuck up...Aqua Teen"
______________

"did you hear what happened to Fleetwood?"
"what happened to Fleetwood?"
"he got pulled over and the cops found 30 ecstasy tabs"
"Fuckin' ouch! Tough all over bud!"
"Fuckin' tough all around"

ABG

An acronym for an "aznbbygirl" meaning an asian female gangster. ABG's like to hang with gangsters and wear thin (slutty) clothing. They like to jump other girls who talk shit and make out with their boyfriends 24/7 (maybe even have sex.) Usually own side kicks who also like to text frequently. ABG'S also normally have a "ride or die" homie, someone who is always down for them, or die trying. ABG's are also known for dying their hair alot. From blonde to black. They have many piercings: multiple on the ears, and stomach/lip. They probably have teased hair, bangs, and have had extensions at one point or another. Could also have painted nails and tatoos. ABG's are super hot, but you would probably get jumped if you tried to hit on them. They also loiter and hang out past curfew.

"Oh shit look at those hotties at that boba house.."
"Watch out, see those gangsters next to them? Their obviously ABG's."
"Damn..still hot."

Side Quest

Any period of time where you and your friends go out without initial purpose or expectations. Usually in the early hours of the morning or late at night, side quests last as long as everyone is still out away from their home, dorm, or common meeting space. Side quests usually happen after a "main quest," scheduled hang out or party and usually feature less people than the original main quest.

"I'm bored but idk what to do... wanna just go out?"
"Hell yeah man let's go on a side quest!"

Collective 600 pound gorilla

A group of people that rolls 600 pounds deep, which is really no different than if one person acted like the 600 pound gorilla all by themself, it's just bullying spread around a group to fuck with somebody. Just like each person has an asshole, and to some degree is an asshole, a collective 600 pound gorilla has a collective asshole so that no one person has to take responsibility for being the asshole or the one who said this or that.

The collective 600 pound gorilla was punching its chest, showing who the alphas were.
