wavedashing

A technique performed by skilled players of Super Smash Bros. Melee. To execute a wavedash, one must make a very short jump into the air, and then move diagonally downward while dodging in midair with the L button. One wavedash by itself is not particularly useful; it is when the move is repeated rapidly that it becomes both impressive and practical.

Wavedashing is most useful for quickly escaping from close combat with an opponent. Also, it can get you from one end of a stage to the other faster than running or jumping. In some instances, it can also be used as a type of taunt, a means of rubbing your skill in an opponent's face.

Any time you are fighting against an opponent who knows how to do the wavedash, chances are good that that person possesses above-average Smash skills.

Ben couldn't land a single hit on Josh because Josh was wavedashing all over the stage.

swamp crotch

A condition endured by fat people who do not clean properly between their thighs and their pelvic area. The condition is exacerbated by hygienic neglect, heavy walking, and sloppy masturbating. Swamp crotch produces one of the worst smells known to mankind - maybe even the worst. Worse than burnt popcorn, Mexican food-induced flatulence, and a recently run-over skunk combined.

Shawn should wash between his legs in the shower more often. He's got a hellacious case of swamp crotch.

George Feeny

The mercurial teacher/principal/professor, mentor, and next-door neighbor of Cory and Eric Matthews on the erstwhile TGIF sitcom Boy Meets World. Although an endless fount of sound advice, Feeny was careful never to solve the kids' problems for them outright, allowing them to come to the proper conclusion on their own. Played by William Daniels, who provided the voice of K.I.T.T., the talking car on Knight Rider.

George Feeny didn't just teach Cory Matthews about life. He taught me too.

populist

Larry the Cable Guy's brand of populist humor brought the house down at my family reunion.

surface indie

Refers to indie bands or artists that are only obscure in that they have no Top 40 plays or chart hits, but are otherwise at least moderately well-known among music fans. The name comes from the fact that these bands are among the first that people discover when they are getting into indie music, as they are just scratching the surface. Surface indie bands often penetrate the mainstream consciousness from time to time, usually by appearing on TV show or movie soundtracks, or by signing to a major label. Examples include Sufjan Stevens, Belle and Sebastian, and The Decemberists. Smug hipsters will often deride surface indie bands by saying the quality of the music suffers as a result of their increasing popularity (and are especially prone to claiming those bands have sold out), but this is just pointless douchebaggery.

Don't listen to that hipster douchebag who says it gets so much better than Of Montreal. If you enjoy surface indie, then listen to it.

verbal tipping

Acknowledging a waiter/waitress by telling them what a good job they did serving your table. Often used by old people and usually unaccompanied by a monetary tip.

I wish I could have told those old people off for the verbal tipping they gave me, but they were just so nice I didn't have the heart.

Nintendo

A catch-all term used by parents to refer to any video game console, including those not manufactured by Nintendo.

Parent: When I was your age, I played outside! I didn't have my face glued to a Nintendo all day!
