coat rack

A pejorative term for the boring, preppy mainstream girls who come to hardcore shows and basically just hold their boyfriend's jackets while they're in the pit.

Coat racks, unlike your garden variety poseur, have no pretense of being part of the scene or the subculture. They're just there because their boyfriends drag them along to the show.

"Yeahhh, she has long straight blonde hair, all made up and dressed cute in Aberfimbie and Crotch. And she's with a dude with short hair and a long sleeved black Bane shirt..... total coatrack."

tsunami bomb

Killer NorCalian rock'n'roll band, whose singer is not only wicked hot, but can actually sing and write songs that don't suck ass.

wankish

"Wankish" has been used to describe an RPG character's alignment ("what's yer alignment?" "wankish" "as opposed to good or evil?"). But more generally, it indicates a general condition of wankery. Similar to wanky.

"Jimmy says...." "I don't give a fuck what Jimmy says, that wankish cunt can go fuck himself in the arse with a chainsaw."
