Debate

Organized, formal, arguement, usually held between two or more people to make their beliefs known and convince an audience to support their beliefs. More effective than one-sided discussions because both strengths and weaknesses of the ideologies in question are revealed.

Did you listen to yesterday's debate? I wonder who won.

Navy

United States Navy (usually, but can be any nation's fleet). The Navy is the sea-based branch of the military, but through the use of aircraft carriers they have taken over much of what the Air Force used to do. Because of this they are possibly the most prominent and widely-used of all the branches of the U.S. military (same goes for most other nations too). Tactically, their primary focus is blue-water operations such as fleet and subarmine warfare, but since the Cold War this role has been de-emphasized as most countries with any respectable naval forces arent dumb enough to piss off the USA.

Their role in combat operations will likely only continue to increase as everyone loves a "clean" air war. However, because they do not have a true ground force anymore they are not self-sufficient and must work very closely with the Army/Marines during combat operations.

The Army and Marines move in to take over territory after the Navy and Air Force have turned it into a big smoking crater.

bananafish

an imaginary fish from JD Salinger's short story called "A Perfect Day For Bananafish" which is found in the book 9 stories by Salinger. According to the main character of the story banana-fish are fish the swim into coral reef and holes in rocks to eat the bananas growing there but then eat too many and cannot swim back out and then die because of this.

The story about bananafish is rather sad.

California merge

When entering a highway or freeway, when you don't merge from the entrance ramp to the road itself until the entrance lane ends, and just expect that Moses will part the traffic for you so you don't end up smashed between a semi and one of those fat-ass Hummers. So named because the sheeple in California, too oblivious to reality to actually take the initiative and merge when there's an opening *before* the lane ends, are particuarly fond of this traffic maneuver.

"Look at me, I'm following the solid white line onto the highway because I suck at life."

Hasik's law

Hasik's Law states that, of the people you know only over the Internet, you are connected to at least one of them by no more than two degrees of separation (i.e. friend of a friend).

It can be very amusing and philosophical thinking about who that person (or persons) might be.

alfred486: hey dude, whats up?
bernieX: not much, im just going out with my pal mike for a pizza tonight
alfred486: cool, i know a guy named mike who loves pizza
bernieX: not mike johnson, is it? short fat italian dude?
alfred486: actually, yeah it is...
bernieX: HOLY SHIT! WE BOTH KNOW MIKE!


Thus, Hasik's law holds true again.

California

Often stereotyped, California is a case study of why real-world liberalism screws you in the end. The state is nearly bankrupt from 30 years of mismanagement by a legislature more interested in appeasing special-interest groups than actually running the damn state, and makred by high taxes, insane cost of living, and a political system slightly more pleasing than a bucket of manure. The complete cluelessness of the general public ensures that the process will continue ad nauseum, until all the people with any sense (and money) leave and California becomes known as the one state poorer and more ridiculed than Alabama.

Also a good example of the sheer stupidity of many corporations because they actually voluntarily choose to move out here.

"I don't mind living in a double-wide that costs $300K, paying 50% taxes, obscene utility bills, or $3.00 per gallon gas thanks to the incompetent legislature *I* elected because the weather is sooooo nice out here."
