TranslateGate

A mysterious glitch on Google Translate, whereupon you set the "translate from" language to Somali, and type in 2-3 character sets of words. The resulting text seems to be pulled from sites like Disqus, StumbleUpon, dating sites, and other random websites, and isn't always in English, even if you set the "translate to" language to English. For example, sometimes it will come out in Thai or Japanese. Other times, it will sound like you're conversing with an AI bot, though this has been disputed.
Have you seen the TranslateGate mystery? I typed in "ick ick ick ick ick," and the translation came from a Thai dating site. WTF?

transbliterate 

To translate from one language to another with little to no regard for the original meaning, only using (false) cognates, puns, and whatever other ideas the word or sound makes the transbliterator think of.
I would transbliterate "Canto a Stalingrado" as "I would but for stalled grace." Canto->I sing->I can't -> I would. Stalingrado-> stalin grado -> stalled grace.

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!"
