A stupid person. 'idiot' describes someone that is stupid, but adding '-stick' denotes that the person is as dumb as a stick.

HBO

1. Home Box Office, a quality channel airing shows such as The Sopranos and Sex and the City, as well as Oz.
2. Something my manager at McDonalds used to yell out randomly. Stands for "Hang Bag Out", a technique used in the drive-thru to reduce customer wait times. Normally you'd hang the bag(s) of food out as the person pulls up to the window so they don't have to wait forever for their order.

1. "I think I'll see what's on HBO tonight"
2. "Remeber, James, HBO or else our drive-thru times are gonna be very high."

deja vu

The feeling that you are doing something that you've already done before. Literal translation "already seen" (from French, deja 'already', vu 'seen'). Apparently it's due to a blip in your brain process which gives you the illusion that you've been somewhere/done something before, and technically, you have - a fraction of a second ago.

However, a common misinterpretation of deja vu is a repeat of a certain event. For example, in an episode of Garfield and Friends (US Acres) Orson perpetually removes the same book (Deja vu: the feeling that you are doing something that you've done before) from a box of books over and over again. This is NOT deja vu; rather, it's an event that doesn't have a forseeable end: an infinite loop, if you will.

If you walk into a room and immediately get the feeling that you've been there before, then that is a case of deja vu.

When i stepped out the door and looked at the sky, i immediately felt like i'd forseen this. wow, deja vu. looks like its going to be a very interesting day...

alert the internet

There are a few situations where one could yell this phrase, but the main thing is to convey sarcasm. For example if someone you know says something that seems utterly useless in a tone where they're trying to sound like it's the news of the year (and it really isn't), then you'd say this phrase in reply. See alert the media.

(instant messenger convo)
