A very useful tool in a front-wheel drive car. Allows the driver to slide around/drift when pulled at high enough speeds, and to keep the car in place when doing a burnout.
Dude 1: Dude, you can't drift this shit, it's FWD..
Dude 2: Yeah, but I can still e-brake around this corner!

The best hot sauce ever invented. Seriously, it tastes good on everything, even if it's most popular use is in various types of Asian cuisine. The perfect blend of intense spice, and delicious flavor. Also known as "cock sauce" by fans.
Sriracha makes everything better

All joking aside, a pony car made by Chevrolet, which debuted in 1967, and ceased production in 2002, but has been brought back for the 2010 model year. The original run of cars were closely related with the Pontiac Firebird, which, starting w/the 3rd generation, not only continued to look similar, but started using the same powerplants and drivetrains.
It is famous for it's performance to dollar ratio, especially in the straightaways, and is only made fun of by elitist snobs who prefer to bash on the car for what it isn't, instead of appreciating what it is. Hell, they had to underrate the performance specs in the LS1 cars to prevent it from making the Corvette look bad.
However, old, rusted out 3rd gen models ARE notorious for falling into the redneck stereotype :)

Camaro sighting #1: Wow, check out that '69 SS Camaro that just flew by! badass!
Camaro sighting #2: Haha, look at that rusted out '82 Camaro. You can see the guy's mullet flapping out of the t-tops!

A musical sub genre of death metal, which in turn is also a sub genre of metal as a whole. It started during the early 90's, and began to really take off by the mid 90's, when many pioneering bands of the style would release some of their best work. Many credit Carcass as the band that invented this style, and various bands from Sweden (In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates) would be credited as pioneers of the "Gothenberg sound", which came to be dominant in the genre later on.
Melodic death metal can best be described as a mixture of the melody/progression from NWOBHM and thrash metal bands, and the sheer brutality of traditional death metal. Vocals are usually growled/shrieked, but clean vocals are used as well. Lots of guitar harmonies are used, along with aggressive riffs and drumming. There is even use of acoustic guitar as well. Sheer ass-kickery at it's finest!
In the early 2000's and more recent years, this style would greatly influence many American metalcore bands. The style has continued to develop in Europe as well.

In Flames, Dark Tranquility, At the Gates, Arch Enemy, Kalmah - all great melodic death metal bands!

Extremely overpriced brand of Graphic tee-shirts. Typically known as a status symbol among chads. If it's a graphic tee you're after, there are many FAR cheaper options that not only look better, but are less likely to cause others to associate you with douchebag status. It's recommended that you avoid Affliction if you have any self respect whatsoever.
Dude 1: Dude, that's a pretty rad shirt, is that Affliction?
Dude 2: Fuck that! only a moron would spend $100 on an Affliction t-shirt. This one was 15 bucks, and it looks better!
Dude 1: Really? goddamn, I feel like a moron for wasting my money now..

Fucking awesome style of ale-fermented beer. Dark in color, and has a sweet, complex malty character to it, often with caramel like flavors. Very minimal hop character, as only enough is used to offer some balance to the beer. The style's origins lie in Scotland, but the style has become popular elsewhere in the world, and is a fairly popular style to brew among American microbreweries. Some examples of this style are fairly high in alcohol content, but you can't taste it :)
Dude 1: Dude, what are you drinking?
Dude 2: Oh, just some Coors Light. You?
Dude 1: Something too manly for you to handle - Scotch ale!
