y/a is "Your age". I have been trying to search it but no one defined it 😅. Usually, a writer of fanfiction sometimes includes the reader in the story, making it second-person POV. Here's some examples:
Person 1: Hey y/n, you're y/a years old right?
Y/N (Y/N stand for "Your Name", also is usually used by a writer of fanfiction): Yes!
M.I.A.'s response to Y.O.L.O., based on her Eastern cultural heritage. In Hinduism it is believed that people are continuously reincarnated, so it's acceptable to do something more than once.
Also a title of a song on her 2013 album Matangi.
"Why does everyone keep saying Y.O.L.O. and then doing the same stupid stuff? It's such a waste."
"Yeah, back where I come from we say Y.A.L.A. before we do stupid stuff cuz we know we're not wasting any time in this life. But then they invented karma to make us feel bad."
If you want to tell a friend to watch a video or listen to a song via 'youtube', then instead of asking them to do it A.S.A.P or go-and-watch-that-video-now, you simply say Y.A.S.A.P (youtube that A.S.A.P).
John: Have you heard that Kendrick Lamar song 'Ignorance is bliss'?
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
