Valyrebonics 

Valyrebonics — linguistic variant of Valyrian spoken by the Black members of the Targaryen family. Black Targaryens had no dragons; because of this, built their own wealth and power base through maritime power.

Their mother tongue was influenced and modified through contact with other cultures through trade. Already a linguistically rich, language, Valyrian acquired additional “flava” through cultural diffusion.

The Valyrebonics idiom “flava” is an example of the acquired richness. Of the language. “Flava” is a metaphorical commemoration of the spice trade facilitated by the Black Targaryens. As spices make foods richer; cultural diffusion makes languages richer.

Beautiful and provocative poetry was written in Valyrebonics and it would become a major cultural influenced for the music, dance, and styles of succeeding centuries. Prophetic books were which foretold the coming of Black King Barrak Hussien; a stylish Black Warrior named Mace; a Brown hero named Morales who had the human proportional strength and agility of a spider; a dusky storyteller who would revolutionize visual storytelling; and a beautiful queen that could only be owned if you could put a ring on her finger — a beautiful image in Valyrebonics, the word for word literal English translation would be “ice her finger”.

These prophecies were all considered very controversial by speakers of “classical” Valyreian.

As Valyrebonics evolved into its on sophisticated and widely spoken language of commerce, it could be more easily spoken by non-Targaryens. And yet, it was difficult for speakers of “Classical Targaryens” to understand because of its use of colorful linguistic imagery that was figurative and not literal; and because of many loan words that entered the language from other cultures.

The classic example sited is the phrase “ice her finger” which in Valyrebonics means: “to offer an expensive jeweled ring;”; and, NOT “a temperature treatment designed to slow the spread of Gray Scale in its early stages” as would be implied by the same phrase in Classical Valyrian.

Value Vampire 

Value Vampire - A person who when present, sucks all of the value out of a room.

Owen, Tom and Jordan are together having a great time and are all adding value to each others mood. James arrives on the scene and unbalances the harmony by not adding any value at all and in fact sucking some of the value out of the situation and everyones mood.

When James leave's Owen might say to Tom and Jordan: "I'm Glad James is gone, he is such a value vampire". The mood would then improve as value is replenished.

Face value 

Taking something at face value means to not look any deeper into what is being said. If the listener tries to read into it, the wrong conclusion will be reached.

No ulterior motive. Just read/hear what is presented and do not read into it.

Take this at face value, but you look really hot today. Where did you get that shirt? (If the listener didn't take it at face value, he/she might wonder if the speaker is interested, romantically or otherwise)

Take this at face value, but you had mentioned the cost of getting a nose job yesterday and how much you wanted one. I saw the prices. They're really not as bad as you thought. (If the face value clause were not said, the listener might be offended. It could be construed the speaker is implying the listener should get a nose job because it looks bad or whatever)

Tesco Value Vodka 

Oh sweet aqua vitae!

Britain's cheapest vodka brand, only available in Tesco stores.

It has become the staple alcoholic beverage of students and tramps across the United Kingdom, usually mixed with equally low budget soft drinks.

When exposed to freshers this beverage, above all others, has been proven to result in events of great hilarity and/or death.

Many theories surrounding the actual ingredients of this mythical elixir exist, it is most probably fermented primarily from the alcohol soaked clothing of dead Irish men - giving it that slight after taste of Guinness... and corpse.

Adam: "Have you seen Xander recently?"

Ben: "Aye, last night, he'll be out of it for a while though - he downed a bottle of Tesco Value Vodka"

Adam: "Oh S###! What happened?"

Ben: "He got naked and spent the entire evening singing Burlington Burtie then tried to burn down Kings"

replay value 

In video games, how well a game beckons you to play it again after beating it. Games with good replay value cause you to willingly play the game several times through instead of just one or two times.
It should not be confused with artificial replay value, which basically "forces" you to play again.

"Oblivion has great replay value! I like to start new files over and over to play different roles and character specs!"

Jokes Value

1. Phrase

In essence, the phrase "jokes value" is used as incentive for performing and/or taking part in an activity that may appear trivial, useless and possibly offensive at first glance, but in truth is intended for humorous purposes, and humorous purposes only.

It is unlikely, but not impossible for a person that is participating in a "jokes value" activity to derive any utility from the activity itself other than that which is gained from the humour.

2. Noun

A qualitative attribute directed towards an act or activity that an individual or group of individuals perform or an occurrence that yields humour.

Phrase Example:

Dave: Man, what the hell is wrong with you.. why aren't you wearing any pants? It's like -10 degrees outside.

JMarc: It's for jokes value..

MV: Ah man you hit her? She's so nasty why did you do that?
