paywall

A virus that began in the late 1990s and has spread rapidly on the internet in the 2010s, requiring users to pay in order to view articles on news websites. They began doing this thanks to users using Adblock.

Companies like The New York Times and various other newspapers began exploiting this to their fullest extent. And if you're trying to write a paper or something, expect yourself to lose a couple dollars to these greedy dorks. You'd better be off using Incognito Mode on Chrome if you want to get around them.

Kyle: Hey, were you able to write that essay?
Chris: No, every single website I visited is locked behind a paywall and now they're making me pay for an overpriced subscription.
Kyle: Screw those guys, they have enough money!

fat mitzvah

When an overweight or obese Jewish girl has a bat mitzvah.

Well, our daughter is having her bat mitzvah tomorrow, but she's overweight meaning we'll be holding a fat mitzvah!

PC-98

A Japanese home computer that's best known for the original Touhou games. One of the main reasons why people get into that machine. Of course, the platform is also home to a bunch of dirty games that many don't play.

Kyle: Dude, did you get a PC-98?
Chris: Yeah, I bought it when I was in Japan over the summer. You want to play Touhou on it after school today?
Kyle: Yeah man.

The very first tweet written on Twitter.

Kyle: Hey, do you know what the first tweet on Twitter was?

Kyle: Okay.

short answer

Any question on an exam that isn't multiple choice or matching. This is every student's worst nightmare and is the most common reason they fail, partly because they have no idea what to write down.

I failed the exam because every question was short answer.
