Diet pills

Diet pills are pills, taken like Advil or Tylenol, that supposedly increase your metabolism and burn more calories. Some diet pills get over people's psychological block that is holding them back from losing weight but the ones that really do work on your metabolism have been proven to be dangerous. Countless investigations by government agencies and high-ranking officials to private investigators have looked into the world of diet pills resulting in lawsuits, damage reports and in some cases the pressing of criminal charges.

A famous example of a diet pill and a famous model for it would be TrimSpa and Anna Nicole Smith respectively. Smith appeared in several advertisements for the diet pill ranging from television commercials, radio commercials and other forms of marketing. Her death was not related to consumption of TrimSpa.
Kim's taking diet pills? Wow, that's about the most desperate thing she's ever done.

White Screen of Death

The White Screen of Death is any screen with a white background that appears on an iPod when it is broken beyond repair. These screens are usually accompanied by a face with red X's for eyes and a frowny face and says something like "Please go to apple.com/support for assistance".

A white screen of death is almost guarenteed after dropping an iPod (along with a cracked screen), dropping the iPod in water, someone steps on the iPod or the stars align in such a way that your iPod just suddenly doesn't work for no apparent reason. This is linked to the Blue Screen of Death in old Windows computers and also the Red Ring of Death in XBox 360's.

Ace of Spades

#1: The highest card in a standard playing card deck.

#2: A song by Motörhead featured on video games such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Guitar Hero and The Bigs. One of the biggest kick-ass songs of all time and respect the authority of the mole or "cocoa puff" as Beavis called it.
#1: In a game of Bullshit (aka BS) the Ace of Spades is always played first face up

#2: To not like Ace of Spades is like for a girl to not like chocolate.

Pixy Stix

More or less pure sugar thats somewhat flavored and sold in a plastic tube. Add a yard-long thing of this stuff to a Monster and get the fuck outta the way!!!

Also, do not mistake as coke, very very painful and can cause severe bleeding. Don't be "cool" and try it cause it ain't fun when your buddies are so high that they can't remember how to dial 9-1-FUCKING-1.
What will happen if you consume a yard-long Pixy Stix too fast:

"I am cornholio!!"

Rape bait

Rape bait is any kind of super sparkily or glittery dress or blouse worn by girls with either a very short dress or skirt of any kind. The shiny aspect is like a shiny fish lure and instead of worm or squid for bait the girl wearing the outfit is the bait. Wearing heals (especially anything over 3.5") or hoop earnings makes the girl more susceptible just like adding bright colors and feathers to a fish lure make the bait more enticing.
Look at that rape bait across the street. I'm surpising she's made it this far coming all the way from that BU party.

USAMRIID

USAMRIID (pronounced you-sam-rid) stands for the United States Army Medical Research Institute for Infectious Diseases.

Based at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland, the facilities of USAMRIID are used primarily for research on counter measurements for biological warfare. Along with the next-door National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) and the nearby United States Army Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense (USAMRICD) they handle many of the biological threats that come up in regards to national defense. When a new infectious agent or biological threat comes up they are on the case to have the data on file regarding any incident that, again, may eventually pertain to national biological defense.

USAMRIID was featured in Richard Preston's best-selling book "The Hot Zone" which described the outbreak of the then-undiscovered Ebola Reston (which was discovered in Reston, Virginia but was not discovered by Preston since people say if you take off the P in Preston you have "reston" left). The book describes the events of decontamination of medical research facilities used to store imported monkeys from the Philippines. It was then discovered that Ebola Reston can't be caught by humans but the same virus has a 90% fatality rate in primates.
I had never heard of USAMRIID before until I read Richard Preston's "The Hot Zone".
