Akka Dakka

The Australian way of referring to AC/DC, our country's greatest rock band and the pioneers of hard rock. "Akka Dakka" sounds so fucking Australian, and like many of our culture's lingo, was derived from a longer, more syllable-heavy word to form a shorter, quicker variation that reflects the enthusiastic "Let's get to it" attitude of the Australian people.

Driver: "Hey, turn that bloody shit off an' let's switch on some Akka Dakka, eh cobber?"
Passenger: "Fuckin' oath, mate. Dirty Deeds, done cheap? Bloody hell, I love this one."

Nightwish

A heavy metal band from Finland, and easily one of the goddamned best to have graced the music world. Combining talent, awesome lyrics and kick-ass music into one mind-blowing whole, nobody can play gothic metal like Nightwish can. They don't posturate their music in an over-the-top, "we're evil goths and we love it" attitude that many other metal bands seem to (*cough* Marilyn Manson *cough*), and the Heavy Metal world just wouldn't be complete without them.

Nightwish... Underrated personifications of Melodic metal. It's difficult to praise 'em too much... they flat out kick ass. What's Metallica doing at the top of the charts, anyway?

Rage Comic

A way for people to graphically communicate thoughts and everyday experiences, while often having no graphical ability of their own.

Typically assumes the form of a 4-pane comic with badly drawn MS-paint characters to represent one's own response.

Commonly distributed through Reddit, Tumblr, 4chan and similar mediums.

Typical rage comic illustrating an everyday inconvenience:
1. Clueless face depicting stick figure with iPod, listening to music
2. Panic face as cable is caught on random object
3. Annoyed face as headphones come lose
4. Cliché "FUCK YOU!" (a.k.a, "FUUUU") face, one of the most popular and easily recognised expressions in rage comics; and presumably the origin of the name.

avro

Ironic mispelling of arvo, an Australian abbreviation of "afternoon".

"Yeah, I'll do it this arvo."

(Apologies extend to everybody who opened this entry without knowing "avro" was actually a typo)

English Language

Something people of the younger generation have an inexplicable difficulty in expressing. Most notably the use of "American English", a degredation of the traditional language where "peepz speek lik diz, yo!!". Critique is erronously directed towards anybody with half a brain and the sense to realize that using "traditional English" is NOT "old-fashioned" or "geeky".

Conversely, English has already been the most bastardized language over the centuries, having taken many words from multiple languages and confusing the hell out of non-native speakers. But people of today's generation do NOT need to go intentionally out of their way to bastardize this already-confusing language further.

"Hipster": 'Eya homes, whaddup yo?! Layin' th'cuts straight ballinz, fo shizzle?!"
Person who speaks proper English: "Learn some basic English, fucker. I've got no idea what the hell you're saying."

Neverwinter Nights

1) Neverwinter Nights; Developed by BioWare in 2002 as an implementation for 3rd edition D&D rules, although the focus of game design was clearly upon graphics technology and multiplayer capability. In short, they left out much of the role-playing potential, particularly storyline and in-depth character development.

2) Game by the same title and same developers, although released many years ago in 1987. Was responsible for supplementing many inspirations of online gaming at the time.
