Literature

Literature is the all-inclusive term used to describe instructions or other small-typed text found in various products in small booklets or otherwise. A classic example of "fine American literature" would be Johnson & Johnson's literature on their rectal thermometers (see below).

Pixy Stix

More or less pure sugar thats somewhat flavored and sold in a plastic tube. Add a yard-long thing of this stuff to a Monster and get the fuck outta the way!!!

Also, do not mistake as coke, very very painful and can cause severe bleeding. Don't be "cool" and try it cause it ain't fun when your buddies are so high that they can't remember how to dial 9-1-FUCKING-1.
What will happen if you consume a yard-long Pixy Stix too fast:

"I am cornholio!!"

White Screen of Death

The White Screen of Death is any screen with a white background that appears on an iPod when it is broken beyond repair. These screens are usually accompanied by a face with red X's for eyes and a frowny face and says something like "Please go to apple.com/support for assistance".

A white screen of death is almost guarenteed after dropping an iPod (along with a cracked screen), dropping the iPod in water, someone steps on the iPod or the stars align in such a way that your iPod just suddenly doesn't work for no apparent reason. This is linked to the Blue Screen of Death in old Windows computers and also the Red Ring of Death in XBox 360's.

Diet pills

Diet pills are pills, taken like Advil or Tylenol, that supposedly increase your metabolism and burn more calories. Some diet pills get over people's psychological block that is holding them back from losing weight but the ones that really do work on your metabolism have been proven to be dangerous. Countless investigations by government agencies and high-ranking officials to private investigators have looked into the world of diet pills resulting in lawsuits, damage reports and in some cases the pressing of criminal charges.

A famous example of a diet pill and a famous model for it would be TrimSpa and Anna Nicole Smith respectively. Smith appeared in several advertisements for the diet pill ranging from television commercials, radio commercials and other forms of marketing. Her death was not related to consumption of TrimSpa.
Kim's taking diet pills? Wow, that's about the most desperate thing she's ever done.

Ace of Spades

#1: The highest card in a standard playing card deck.

#2: A song by Motörhead featured on video games such as Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Guitar Hero and The Bigs. One of the biggest kick-ass songs of all time and respect the authority of the mole or "cocoa puff" as Beavis called it.
#1: In a game of Bullshit (aka BS) the Ace of Spades is always played first face up

#2: To not like Ace of Spades is like for a girl to not like chocolate.

Alice's Restaurant

Alice's Restaurant is a song by folk artist Arlo Guthrie which is second only to turkey and football when it comes to "Thanksgivin'".

The song serves not only as a satircal look on the judiciary branch of the US government but it also demotes the armed services for a good portion of the song. As the song was based on real events Guthrie really did get out of the draft by faking mental insanity at his evaluation.
Every single year it's eat a drumstick of the turkey, play football 'til you can't move your arms and listen to Alice's Restaurant after fiddling with the radio all day until you find a station playing it.
