Jason L.'s definitions
An animation company, which began in France, before opening up shop in the USA. At the end of some of their shows, a kid has pronounced it as "dick" before, but now, it is pronounced "deek," for obvious reasons (and the not-so-obvious reason of its French origin.)
Known for cartoons such as "Sonic the Hedgehog," "Inspector Gadget," and "Sabrina: The Animated Series."
Many people did not know this (or just assumed it meant the obvious double entendre`,) but DIC has been confirmed to stand for <b>"Dissemination, Information et Communication."</b>
The company thrives today, and an updated logo which says "The Incredible World of DIC" is their trade dress. Hmm, do I see an innuendo here? ;-)

Get the DIC mug.The result of a man taking a piss.
Derived from "bong water", the water used in a bong (obviously); and "Dog Water", one of the phony advertisements on "The Ren and Stimpy Show."

After a long night of drinking Rolling Rocks and playing video games nonstop, the Angry Nintendo Nerd had to reach for the pause button -- he desperately needed to let off a couple quarts of "dong water"...

Get the dong water mug.The "Capacitance Electronic Disc" system, invented by RCA; also known as 'SelectaVision' and 'video records.'
RCA was trying to edge out the pre-existing VHS and LaserDisc formats, but ultimately failed in the long run. The format lasted from 1981 until 1986, and about 1700 titles were released on CED.
Movies came in large plastic caddies, which you inserted, as a whole, into a CED player, which disengaged the disc from the caddy when you pulled it back out (so you wouldn't touch the disc with your bare hands, which could cause disc damage.) A stylus picked up the audio/video data from the disc, which spun at 450 RPM.
To remove the videodisc, you simply push the caddy back into the player, and the disc re-engages itself in the caddy.
Like a CLV laserdisc, CEDs have one hour of content on each side... but you must remove and re-insert the disc upside-down, to continue playing (like with the early laserdisc players.)
If a film ran over two hours by a significant amount of time, it was released on a set of two CEDs. Otherwise, time compression was used to fit the movie onto one disc.
The estimated life of a CED videodisc is 500 playings. Not too bad.

Get the CED mug.1. A Russian penal institute. Stands for "G"lavnoe "u"pravlenie ispravitel'no-trudovykh "lag"erei (chief administration of corrective labor camps.)
2. Any mental institute in the USA. People get sent to those hellholes for expressing themselves, reporting abuse (or any wrongs done to them), writing poetry, speaking out against government policies, when their parents dislike them, and for various other HARMLESS "violations" of the so-called "social contract." Essentially, these people are punished for things they MIGHT do, based on someone's "artificial fear".
Inside the gulags of America, the "artificial fear" cycle is perpetuated. People who are less threatening than a person in a wheelchair, are treated worse than violent felons.
They are usually strapped down and jacked up with dangerous psychotropic drugs 24 hours a day, and they are given less rights than the most dangerous correctional institute inmates -- they are prevented from communicating with the outside world in ANY way, they are denied the right to an attorney or physician, and they are denied medical treatments for their injuries, cancer, and acute illnesses...... all in the name of $cientology.
Patients even get MURDERED by the staff... and these staffers never see a day in jail, because all the murders are covered up.

"Stop protesting and carrying signs outside government buildings, you fool, or the secret police will haul you off to the gulag!"

Get the gulag mug."Popo" and "Nana", from the early NES game "Ice Climber." Until they appeared in the Gamecube game "Super Smash Bros. Melee", no one knew who they were.
The NESkimos got their asses kicked off the mountain again... Dammit! *takes out the cartridge and chucks it across the room*

Get the NESkimos mug.The money that the government wastes on NASduh, could be used to solve many problems here on the earth.

Get the NASA mug.The equipment used to perform mammograms. Some women have likened it to a tire running over their boobs, and having them squeezed into a box-shape thingy...
