AKA The Diplomats.

Its what happens when crack babies and ritalin children grow up.

"Mom? Can I grow up to be a rapper?"
'No, Billy, because you don't know how to rhyme.'
"Oh mom! Don't be silly! I can just be like dipset."

Usenet

A long-standing system of internet bulletin-boards divided by topic into "newsgroups". Unlike other forms of online communities, Usenet groups are usually accessed by email client or newsreader program rather than an internet provider. Although internet providers and news servers can block access to potentially illegal newsgroups and assign moderators, the Usenet environment is generally a self-controlling anarchy. Although its dated system of message posting limits file size and prevents the easy transfer of large files such as software and videos, it's an easy way to amass a gargantuan collection of pornographic pictures.

My girlfriend cheated on me, so I posted all her naked pictures on Usenet. You can find her on

Fry's Electronics

The only place where you can find oscilloscopes, motherboards, model airplanes, beef jerky, and hardcore pornography dvds all under the same roof.

Where nerds and masochists go on friday nights. Good luck dealing with customer service.

I went to Fry's Electronics yesterday and scored a new stereo for my car, a wireless router, a lego set, gummy worms, and a dvd of backdoor cowboys #17.

CPM

Acronym for "College Preperatory Mathematics." A non functional method for teaching middle and high school level math.

Instead of actual textbooks, CPM classes use cheap paperbound workbooks that have absolutely nothing useful in them. While real textbooks include instructions, tables, equations, and examples that make it possible to learn by book alone, CPM books usually have none. CPM also places emphasis on (barely) supervised groupwork in the hopes that it helps students visualize mathematical concepts. Actually, all it does is destroy a student's ability to work on his/her own.

Teachers of such classes assume that CPM workbooks actually are textbooks and so don't really bother instructing students.

I have to take remedial classes in college. Thank you, CPM!

ghost driver

see: Geister Fahrer. An individual who drives going the wrong direction on an autobahn, often with headlights turned off at night. Usually a drunk driver, but can also be a suicide attempt, thrill seeker, or horrendus driver error.

My travel agent gave me this cautionary lecture on ghost drivers in europe. Does that really happen?

numbers

A rather brutal and secretive group of prison gangs in South Africa. Number gangs have numbers instead of names, and typically have millitary-style hierarchy, extensive tattoos, strict internal laws, and require violence against prison staff for initiation. The 28 Gang also has a system for distributing sex between new recruits and established members. Recently featured on a BBC documentary.

Numbers gangs include the 26s, 27s, 28s, etc...

Soaps

A brand of sneaker with a removable slick plastic plate in the soles, under the arch of the foot. The plate enabled the wearer to grind on rails and edges without the aid of skates or a board. Style-wise, they tended to be pretty chunky looking, similar to skate shoes, but were probably not as comfortible. They were cool for only a few months in 1998-99, but were popular enough to cause concern among parents and schools. Succeeded by Heelys a couple years later, which had heel-mounted weels and were uglier and even less comfortible. Soaps is now a defunct maker.

Haha, my cousin saved up for a vintage pair of Soaps and broke his jaw the first week after he got 'em!
