Alhadis's definitions

Cobber

Australian colloquialism meaning "mate" or "friend", but not necessarily in the literal term. Can be used to address a stranger in leiu of "Hey, you there!" or "Hey, kid!" in a more friendly manner. As the word's been used since the earliest Colonial settlements of Australia, many Aussies mistakenly believe the word is archaic and no-longer used. In actuality, it's simply slightly less understood then more generic forms of greeting (such as "mate").

"G'day, cobber."
"G'day, mate. How're ye doin'?"
"Aw, been flat out like a lizard drinkin'. Hear the Sydney Swans hammered Collingwood on Saturday?"
"Ripper."

Rage Comic

A way for people to graphically communicate thoughts and everyday experiences, while often having no graphical ability of their own.

Typically assumes the form of a 4-pane comic with badly drawn MS-paint characters to represent one's own response.

Commonly distributed through Reddit, Tumblr, 4chan and similar mediums.

Typical rage comic illustrating an everyday inconvenience:
1. Clueless face depicting stick figure with iPod, listening to music
2. Panic face as cable is caught on random object
3. Annoyed face as headphones come lose
4. Cliché "FUCK YOU!" (a.k.a, "FUUUU") face, one of the most popular and easily recognised expressions in rage comics; and presumably the origin of the name.

Morning Star

While "Morning Star" can refer to Satan, it's also the name of a type of spiked mace derived from the Medieval period (and vastly used in RPGs and MMORPGs today). A morning star's like a mace, except that maces only have a blunt, crushing head; while morning stars are the variants that have a sharp cluster of metal spikes to add to the smashing power. Many people confuse these to be maces, whereas maces are only ever *blunt*.

Another common understanding of maces is with regards to the "ball-and-chain", where a morning star's spiked head (sometimes left blunt) is swung around on a chain or rope. These are actually called "flails", not maces.

"Nice mace."
"No, this isn't a mace. It's a Morning Star."

Feuer Frei

One of Rammstein's most popular and well-known songs, first released in 2001 on their album Mutter and having gained mainstream recognition due to an appearance on the movie xXx. The song's title basically means "Fire freely!" in German (used in the sense of "fire at will" by German soldiers during combat). Live performances of this song highlight the band's unmitigated passion for flames and burning eruptions, which further cements the mainstream's misinterpretation of this song as being directly associated with fire. But the far worse twist of n00bism is any idiot that refers to the song as "BANG BANG!" (which just happens to be the following line in the song's chorus, after "Feuer Frei!"). There aren't many ways for Rammstein to be degraded even further by the sheer, undeniable ignorance of the mainstream masses, but calling them "Rob Zombie clones" is certainly one of them. Any real fan of Rammstein's music would recognize that the depth, musical talent and plain kick-ass rhythms of these w00t Germans would (and should) be insulted by comparing them to Rob Zombie, so please disregard the last definition written for this entry.

"Geadelt ist wer Schmerzen kennt,
vom Feuer das in Lust verbrennt,
Ein Funkenstoß,
in ihren Schoß,
Ein heißer Schrei,
FEUER FREI!"
