Nippon Ichi

Basically the Japanese version of Electronic Arts (or EA). They were a once great company who started turning to crap in the 2010s. This all started when they would localize licensed games based on anime, manga, and doujin franchises, only to degrade them. Things started getting bushier when they began licensing anime titles with no dubs.

Konata: Hey, did you get Touhou Gensou Rondo?
Susumu: No, that's a crappy Nippon Ichi game. I heard they pulled an LJN on it when localizing it for North America. Basically a long tutorial, bad backgrounds, and nobody online. I'm gonna get the AVGN to review this.

speech therapy

Another stupid class that special ed kids are often forced into. You can end up with this if the teacher or parents think you can't speak right and may need therapy, usually due to a mental disorder or learning disability. It usually takes place once every one to two weeks and often takes place during one of your other classes or free time.

I was in speech therapy for every grade I was in during my elementary and junior high years. It sucked all because my parents and teachers thought I couldn't speak right.

a speaker has not been elected

What Kevin McCarthy heard way too many times when he tried to secure the speaker's gavel...

More and more Republicans are voting to not elect Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House, leading to the House Clerk declaring that a speaker has not been elected.

church parents

Parents who ruin your life on a weekly basis by signing you up for or taking you to crap you don't want. This includes them buying tickets to events you don't care about and they force you into them, ruining your life in every way possible when you can normally be enjoying your own leisure.

If you have a break from school (such as summer or winter), your parents are almost guaranteed to screw it up. This includes planning a vacation over your entire break, essentially making it wasted by the time your break is over.

Kyle: Dude, my spring break was wasted because my stupid church parents planned a vacation on it, taking me to stuff I had no interest in.
Chris: Aww, that sucks crap. Next break, do you want to spend it all with me and play Smash all the way?
Kyle: Why, yes.

Bilibili Comics

A manga, manhua, and manhwa website and app that spams my Twitter timeline every day. The app includes a share feature that offers rewards to users who post links to the site on Twitter, usually in random unrelated hashtags.

I follow one account that retweets tweets from a specific hashtag, and every day half of my timeline is filled with links to Bilibili Comics content thanks to that hashtag being botted by Bilibili Comics users.

Bourbank

The act of inviting a bunch of guys to a Burbank, California bar or pub and drinking a bunch of bourbon.

Kyle: Hey, you want to go to the Yard House in Burbank? We're going to have a Bourbank!
Chris: No, I don't want to get drunk and risk getting a DUI.

grandma grunt
