top loader

Term used to refer to the late-model NES. Games are inserted into the top and stick out from it, similar to a SNES or Genesis. Contrast this with the original side loader model, where the games did not stick out and were covered by an opening/closing flap. Also adopted a different controller style from the side-loading NES, the shape of which earned it the nickname "dog bone"; this controller is widely considered inferior to the previous square controller. Top loaders can be easily found on eBay at somewhat exorbitant prices.

Top loaders are fine and all, but nothing says "Nintendo" like that chunky old side loader.

Nintendo

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.

populist

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.

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.
