Roosterteeth

True veterans of the machinima field, Roosterteeth are the creative geniuses who created the fularious web-series Red VS Blue (based off the Halo series), as well as Strangerhood (based off the Sims). Unlike many fan-based creations, Roosterteeth haven't shown any signs of slowing down over the years; to this day, they continue to roll out hilarious comedy that gives them their well-deserved reputation for being comedy geniuses. They're also credited for producing the brief P.A.N.I.C.S series ("People Acting Normal in Crazyass Situations"), for the F.E.A.R game; and while PANICS was only brief, it did deliver a good laugh. However, Roosterteeth have forever remained most famous for their work in Red VS Blue, which continues to be widely regarded as one of the funniest things on the Internet.

Church (Red VS Blue): "Tucker, there's a very fine line between not listening and not caring. I like to think I walk that line everyday of my life."

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)

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?

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."

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.

huppelkut

Dutch slang that very loosely means "trendy little bitch". Term is usually used to term girls who're ditzy, fashionable preps that're slaves to mainstream culture (compare with valley girl). Huppelkut is generally considered a derogatory term, spoken as a disparaging insult for any girl that lives an overly social and 'trendy' lifestyle and obsesses over fashion statements and other prep-related ideals.

Two huppelkutten in a library:
Girl: "Yeah, my boyfriend and I are gonna go shoppin' today... gonna look for a new dress for me to wear when I go out with my girlfriends tonight. *giggle* Everybody's telling me my clothes are getting outta date... I need to spend some time shopping at the gap... maybe hang up wiv my friends there... You coming?"
Girl #2: "Oh sure, I was only gonna stay home and watch Slipknot videos..."
Girl: "Like, eeww... you listen to Slipknot? Aren't they, like, gothic, like?"
Girl #2: "I think so... sorry, I'll come and buy some clothes with you guys."
Guy nearby: *thinks* "I wish those two huppelkuts would STFU; I'm trying to do work but all they ever do is jabber about clothes and boys."

Enigma's Garden

Relating to Vahevia: A subterranean labyrinth epitomising the worst of roleplaying/strategic challenges, to secretly conceal a fallen god's quarantine that would poison the fabric of reality.

Renowned for the almost impossible combative, problem-solving, ethical, and psychological challenges it presents RPGers.

"Compared with the depths of Enigma's Garden, anything else is sanity" - Oshari
