brick

1. Any small (usually handheld) electronic device that has become outdated, and thus is much larger and heavier than modern versions. A large (bigger than handheld) such device is called a boat anchor.

2. An amplifier used for radio transmitting, especially in ham radio and particularly when intended for automobile installation (so named because such amplifiers are small, heavy, and usually shaped like a brick; just a plain metal box with a few wires sticking out).

1. I've had this cellphone for 5 years; it's a total brick.

2. Can't hear me over the static? Let me kick in the brick.

fap

In the white wolf live-action roleplay (larp) or tabletop game "Vampire: the Masquerade," FAP is an acronym for the combination of three extremely potent vampiric combat powers: Fleetness, Aegis, and Puissance. The game is designed such that most characters should never possess all three powers, but in practice many gamers/larpers who desire excessive power will find ways to acquire them all (see powergamer, and some of the definitions under twink).

"Don't go after Jimmy's character, that powergamer/twink has FAP."

brain grenade

Because of the unusual grenade-like shape of the bottle, Mickey's beer (in the "Big Mouth" bottles) are called brain grenades. Because the bottle shape is unique to Mickey's and patented, it is technically NOT correct to call any other kind of beer "brain grenades."

What kind of beer do you want?
Toss me a brain grenade.
