Noun.
Someone who eats quickly or defensively in public.
Northern Irish slang. It was used frequently in 1980/90s schoolyards to meme pretty much anybody eating without offering around. It called up the context that the individual must get starved at home.
It could be used as an equally metered chant to playfully shame someone eating during an inappropriate gathering, or someone whose stomach grumbled loudly during a silence.
"I bought you a whole bag of crisps last week and you won't even spare me a single jelly baby? You're such a starvo, mate."
"Your gut sounds like a dying porpoise, starvo!"
From VRChat. A recent (2017-18) bowdlerization of the Japanese word Suteki. The expression is used almost exclusively by the loli army, and in response to loli's. The phrase should be articulated in a highly excited and twee fashion.
It literally means 'oh how lovely!' or 'wonderful!'
The phrase probably became popular after Netflix started screening the anime Kill la Kill, due to it's usage therein.
Loli: Oh look! He's giving me his apple! Sticky sticky!

From neurolinguistics. It describes any phrase which can be used to demonstrate how the brain selectively re-interprets nonsensical language when delivered with a false context. The original social experiment involved walking up to a stranger and initiating a conversation. Then once they were on verbal auto-pilot, delivering the statement as the first half of a conjunctive pair along with a misleading cue.
eg;
You: Excuse me, do you know the way to the library?
Stranger: Yes it's just up that street there.
You: Is it far? I have to meet my Sister at two o'clock.
Stranger: Umm, no. About half a mile.
You: (glancing at bare wrist) Arcing jet of semen? It's just I don't have a watch.
Stranger: Yes, it's just after one-thirty.
It's possible to use this technique to drop practically anything into a conversation without it being consciously registered by the other party. The etymology nods to British comedian Stephen Fry who often used it as an inside joke for his friends.
John pulled a Fry drop on his boss yesterday. He asked him to poke his taint with a feather.
