deja vu

The feeling that you are doing something that you've already done before. Literal translation "already seen" (from French, deja 'already', vu 'seen'). Apparently it's due to a blip in your brain process which gives you the illusion that you've been somewhere/done something before, and technically, you have - a fraction of a second ago.

However, a common misinterpretation of deja vu is a repeat of a certain event. For example, in an episode of Garfield and Friends (US Acres) Orson perpetually removes the same book (Deja vu: the feeling that you are doing something that you've done before) from a box of books over and over again. This is NOT deja vu; rather, it's an event that doesn't have a forseeable end: an infinite loop, if you will.

If you walk into a room and immediately get the feeling that you've been there before, then that is a case of deja vu.

When i stepped out the door and looked at the sky, i immediately felt like i'd forseen this. wow, deja vu. looks like its going to be a very interesting day...

brainiac

sarcastic. used when denoting someone's lack of intelligence, i.e. they try an idea and it fails miserably.

"Nice Job, brainiac." emphasis must be put on 'brainiac' or else it loses its effectiveness.

go-hart

someone who goes the extra mile; i.e. an over-achiever. can also be spelt go-heart. stems from the term 'go-hard' which essentially means the same thing, but this is the mutated form of that word.

he's a real go-hart, he got like 99% on his test and was so pissed off

X

1) The future form of Mega Man, created by Dr. Light as his last project before he died. X fights alongside his pal Zero to stop the Evil Sigma and his army of Mavericks.
2) slang term for the rave drug known as Ecstasy. When induced the user's sense of touch is enhanced, and is also made slightly horny.

1) X decided to wimp out in the 7th episode of the Megaman X series, citing that the fighting needed to stop.
2)'Yo dawg, you got any X?'

chalice

French Canadian curse word, roughly equivalent to 'dammit!' or 'shit!'

Pronunciation: ka'-lehce

Follows tabernac. French Canadian swear words are modeled after the Roman Catholic Church, as opposed to other curse words that are modeled after sexual acts or bodily functions/parts.

Don't say this around a French Canadian priest or an older person.

"ce n'est pas assez? chalice!!!"
(it's not enough? SHIT!)
