vanity fair

A place characterized by frivolity, excessive display of how fancy this place is, and pretentious.

It comes from the the book Pilgrim's Progress, where there was a fair in a town called Vanity. Later on, there was a book called Vanity Fair, and that's when it became a common term.
I got invited to a party at my friend Martha's house. You know, the rich girl who's related to the queen? Anyway, the party was a vanity fair.

What movie should we see? I'm thinking of seeing Vanity Fair. It's based on a novel I had to read in high school.

spring break

A small vacation where you don't have school for a week in Spring, usually in March or April.

Spring Break is famouse because high schoolers and people in college often use this time to go to someplace warm (such as Florida or Cancun) and go wild and crazy, with lots of sex and beer.
Marie was greatful for a break from college. She went to the beach for Spring Break, and ended up getting drunk and having sex.

Robby was greatful from a break from 6th grade. He went to his house for Spring Break and ended up playing playing video games the entire week.

cartoon network

A channel on TV devoted to showing animated shows. During the day these shows are aimed at children. Later on you get a slightly older crowd and a lot of anime. Starting at 11 each night (except Fridays) you have adult swim, which is a block of programming devoted to animated shows targeted at the 14+ category.
Cartoon Network is a pretty good channel. It is better than Nickelodean (though I still think Nick's good) and adult swim is the best.

like

1.A word that is inserted randomly into a sentence. Most people use it just because they're used to it, even some English teachers, and they won't use it when writing but will say it without meaning to. It used to be what you said instead of "um" but not people are so used to it they say,"Like, um..."

2."so I was all like" means "I said"
1.So I went to the mall and there was this, like, really cute shirt. And I, like, asked how much it cost.

2.So the guy was all like,"You should use proper english and say 'I said'," and I was like,"Don't, like, tell me how to talk..."

Mad Mod

Character on Teen Titans TV show. All episodes concerning him were written when the writers were extremely high. Bizarre, but amusing. Probably insulting to British people.

Iron Giant

A movie directed by Brad Bird about a very tall alien from space made out of iron who befriends a young boy during the Cold War. I believe it is set around 1957ish.
Iron Giant didn't do well in the box office, but it was praised by many critics.
