The Real Driller's definitions

sportsbook

A place at a casino where you can bet on sports events other than horse racing. A large majority of sportsbooks are online (DraftKings, FanDuel, and BetMGM are examples), and take up nearly every single ad slot on social media.

Kyle: Hey, did you know that I recently won $2 million through DraftKings Sportsbook?
Chris: That's amazing, but I've only won $45 so far. I place my bets through BetMGM which calls itself the king of sportsbooks. You want to go down to the one in Las Vegas during the Super Bowl?
Kyle: Sure man. I hope I can win another $2 million through there!

short answer

Any question on an exam that isn't multiple choice or matching. This is every student's worst nightmare and is the most common reason they fail, partly because they have no idea what to write down.

I failed the exam because every question was short answer.

Pepco

Terribad power company in Washington DC. If you lose electricity, it takes days for them to restore it because their electricians are slow as heck.

I had to stay in a hotel in DC for five days because I lost electricity and Pepco's electricians took too long because all they do is procrastinate.

Tracer AI

Crappy AI-powered DRM developed by the CCP that acts more like spyware. Can absolutely decimate any social media channel you own.

Kyle: OMG, why did his YouTube channel get terminated?
Chris: The content he used was protected by Tracer AI and its automated system filed claims on its creator's behalf.

study guide

Pointless sheets of paper that contain information that you obviously know won't be on a quiz or test.

Kyle: Dude, are you going to go to Florida this spring break?
Chris: No, I can't. The teacher that nobody likes assigned me a six-page study guide to complete over spring break. It's awful.

Hanna-Barbera

A virus who began in the late 1950s in the animation industry. Their light side was they created top-notch shows such as The Flintstones, Wacky Races, and Scooby-Doo. But there's one downfall: these nerds possess a huge library of sound effects with the sole purpose of tissing off gamers. The virus began spreading in the 1960s when Warner Brothers Animation, Nickelodeon, and DiC Entertainment exploited these to their full extent. They infected the anime industry when Wacky Races was a smash hit in Japan. They also infected the gaming industry in the 1980s when almost every show in the 80s and 90s made minor use of these. It started with Dragon's Lair and Time Gal, but it really didn't take off until the 1990s, when Crash Bandicoot was the first to be hit. Rareware got infected with games such as Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 exploiting these. Nintendo also got infected too, Paper Mario was the first, but it wasn't until Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga where the usage of HB sounds started getting worse. Almost every Mario game nowadays uses these.

Scenario 1:
Gamer: I wanted to play Super Mario Galaxy, but I can't because Nintendo put in those stupid HB sounds in! Screw you Hanna-Barbera!

Scenario 2:
Teacher: Okay students, we are going to watch Magic School Bus!
Student: OH GOD! The sound effects there are awful, and a large majority of sound effects used are from Hanna-Barbera! Ren and Stimpy also exploit these too! I'm outta here! (leaves classroom)

school handbook

Basically the Terms of Service for a school or university. Just like the regular terms, nobody obviously reads it but they still break a few of its rules.

Before you attend your first year here, you better read our school handbook!
