Tegu

A Tegu is a large, quite clever kind of lizard related to monitors. They are not poisonous and only ever become aggressive when provoked or hungry, so they make good pets if you're willing to put up with their constant escape attempts.
Did you hear? Jake's Tegu tried to escape its terrarium again!
Really? He must be really attached to it if he's willing to put up with that every other week.

Tinfoil Hatter

Tinfoil Hatter is a normally derogatory nickname for a conspiracy theory buff, as the stereotypical image of one usually includes a tinfoil hat worn on the head to block out the mind control waves or chemtrails.

Sweet summer child

This saying originates from Game of Thrones, where some seasons last for years on end, as a term for those who have not tasted the hardships of winter. Generally used to refer to someone who is inexperienced or does not know the full extent of something, while they thinking they do.

Polybius

Polybius is one of gaming's most well known myths. Polybius was an unmarked Arcade machine spotted in an unnamed arcade in a quiet suburb of Portland, Oregon, in 1981. The game was described as strange and abstract, but "strangely addicting." Many recreations liken it to Tempest, another arcade game. Strange enough, but then there were the side effects, such as nausea, vertigo, and even night terrors. Stranger still, men in black, supposedly government agents, often visited the machines, giving rise to rumors of a government mind control program. A month later after the machine was first spotted, it vanished, along with any evidence of its existence. The only consistency in the story is the name, Polybius.

Wild story, but it actually has some basis in fact. Around the same time and place the myth was set, incidents of teens blacking out or experiencing similar side effects to the described symptoms after marathons of games such as Asteroids or Tempest, began to crop up. Also, back during that time, Arcades were often the haunts of drug dealers and other participants in illicit activities, resulting in common sightings of Narcotics officers during hours of operation. Finally, the name springs from one of the codenames of Tempest while it was in its beta stages, Polybius.
Polybius is an interesting urban legend that came to be from a mix of very real incidents and stories.

Scout

The Scout is a playable class in TF2. His main draw is that he has the fastest run speed in the game, can double jump, and counts as two of any other class while capping a point or pushing the cart.

Scout doesn't do very much damage at close range and has very low hp, however, so Scout players usually use his mobility to utilize hit and run tactics, dodge people's attacks, and generally get in people's faces and be an annoying little piece of trash.
Scouts who wear the fast learner/use lime paint/use lennybinds/or use the Force-a-Nature are known as scunts because they are even more annoying than normal scout.

However, if there's a speedy boi running around annoying you and your team, swapping to heavy and equipping the Natascha is an easy way to shut them down.

2012

The year everything began to go to the shit.
Some say that the Mayan calendar prophecy stating that the world would end on December 21, 2012 actually meant the start of a decline.
