wic

literally meaning wicked, a casual way of saying "good"

originates from the same "surfer" style of slang which reduces many frequently used words to single syllables, such as "za" for pizza.

yeah, i heard the new b-boys album at a bud's house last night, dunno if i'm gonna buy it myself, but it was pretty wic.

testosterone poisoning

When a man dies as a result of doing something that is both stupid, and something one would normally associate with steretypical "dumb guy" activity.

"The actions of the nominees are so shortsighted, so counter to common sense, that they can only be explained by the apparent need to strut superior risk-taking capacity."
- from The Darwin Awards (first book)

A Houston man earned a succinct lesson in gun safety when he played Russian roulette with a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol. Rashaad, nineteen, was visiting friends when he announced his intention to play the deadly game. He apparantly did not realize that a semiautomatic pistol, unlike a revolver, actually inserts a cartridge into the firing chamber when the gun is cocked. His chance of winning a round of Russian Roulette was zero, as he quickly discovered.
