whatever

Uttered in a derisive and dismissive tone, in response to a confrontation or accusation which has been judged to be unimpressive, obnoxious, or disingenuous. Often used to dismiss someone when it is clear that rational discussion would be a waste of time and energy.

Don't tell me you believe in that "evolution" stuff! The Bible clearly states that the Earth is 6,000 years old!

Whatever, dude. Can you go bother someone else now please?

S.N.A.F.U.

Acronym for "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up" (or, more politely, "Situation Normal, All Fouled Up"). Most often used as a noun, referring to an unfortunate and possibly urgent situation.

Originated among American G.I.s during World War II. See also FUBAR.

It's going to take some quick thinking to get ourselves out of this SNAFU.

rewind

In the drum and bass scene, the DJ's practice of replaying a record that has been enthusiastically received by the audience. Spectators "call for a rewind" by holding cigarette lighters in the air; if there is enough demand, the DJ will spin the record backward and play it from the beginning.

The crowd loved that track so much that I had to do three rewinds.

lola

From: Shapeshifters 'Lola's Theme', the smash hit music single of 2004.

1. A clubber that only listens to "handbag house," which is a particularly cheesy form of dance music.

2. A clubber who, when choosing which club to go to for the night, is more concerned with their appearance and "being seen" at a particular location than the actual music being played.

"I am so sick of going to gigs these days and finding the place full of lolas, the dance scene is just not how it used to be."

whitebread

Belonging to the class of bland, clean-cut, middle-of-the-road suburbanite breeders. The Cleavers from the old TV show "Leave It To Beaver" are a familiar archetype of whitebread culture. Compare to yuppie.

The term implies profound cultural naïvete, blind consumerism, and an unquestioning "follower" mindset. Common trappings of the whitebread lifestyle include golf, Kenny G and Enya CDs, SUVs, an irrational fixation on lawn care, Golden Retrievers, nominally Christian religious beliefs, Old Navy clothing, moderate to conservative political views, bad Chardonnay, equally bad espresso, cookie-cutter houses, Bath & Body Works hygiene products, and very white-collar employment.

Though whitebread individuals are usually white, the term is not necessarily racial in meaning - the implication lies more with the blandness, predictability, and banality of plain white bread. Accordingly, "wonderbread" is often used as a synonym.

I'll bet the amount of money that whitebread neighborhood spends on lawn fertilizer could feed a small African nation.
