Magic: The Gathering

The original collectable card game (CCG), where players purchase packs of randomized cards and assemble decks used to compete against others. Created by the Washington-based company Wizards of the Coast, Magic: The Gathering achieved great popularity in the early-to-mid 1990s, and paved the way for other CCGs such as Legend of the Five Rings and Pokemon. Magic: The Gathering still remains popular to this day, although not to the same level as it used to.

The player's Magic: The Gathering collection contained over a thousand cards.

katana

A slightly-curved, single-edged sword carried by the samurai in fuedal Japan. Contrary to popular belief, the katana was not the primary weapon used by samurai, and was mostly used only for dueling or ceremonial purposes. Over the last few decades, movies and anime have exaggerated the sharpness and durability of the weapon to a point where many people now believe katanas to be some kind of indestructable super-sword.

"Following World War II, many American GIs brought home katanas looted from Japanese officers."

dungeons and dragons

The world's most popular pen & paper Role Playing Game (RPG). Created in 1974 by E. Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) combines role-playing with turn-based tactical combat. In a D&D game, one player is the "dungeon master" (DM) and the rest of the players are "player characters" (PCs). The PCs assume the role of adventurers (using fantasy archaetypes such as elves, wizards, halflings, barbarians, etc) while the DM creates challenges for the PCs to overcome (such as monsters and traps).

Over the years, the D&D game has been revised and published in multiple editions. The rights to Dungeons & Dragons are currently owned by Wizards of the Coast (creators of Magic: The Gathering) and Hasbro.

"We played Dungeons & Dragons for three hours. Then I was slain by an elf."

ALF

Animal Liberation Front. Basically an even more extremist version of PETA, the ALF places the lives of animals on or above the same level as human life. They routinely commit criminal acts such as arson, breaking and entering, and vandalism for their cause.

The ALF extremists relased a batch of infected monkeys into the city, causing an epidemic among the local population.

nonconformist

A person who refuses to be a "conformist sheep", but usually just ends up conforming to a different standard than most people. In the 1950s, the "nonconformists" were the beakniks, in the 1960s there were hippies, in the 1970s freakers came along, in the 1980s punks and goths emerged as the new standard of nonconformity, etc.

STAN: "How do I become a nonconformist?"

GOTH KID: "You have to dress the same way we do, and listen to the same kind of music we like."

Hot-Carl

A hot carl is when you are taking a shit and getting off while your girl gives you head (preferably while on the toilet).
(It is NOT taking a shit on someone's face, whether or not there's plastic wrap!!!)

I insisted on being given a Hot-Carl, but my girlfriend thought it was too disgusting.

japanophile

A non-Japanese person who has a near-indescrimate love of all things from Japan. Japanophiles watch anime religiously, import overpriced novelty items from Japan, collect samurai swords, play untranslated Japanese video games, eat large amounts of Japanese food, rave about how Japanese culture is superior to every other culture on the planet, etc.

See also wapanese, egg, and otaku.

The japanophile believed that a samurai sword could cut through solid steel like a blowtorch through butter.
