"Happy Holidays!" is not a politically correct way of waging War on Christmas. Absolutely not. It's an abbreviation. A time-saver. In the words of John Stewart, "Now I suppose you could say have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, but you probably have SHIT TO DO."
"Oh, hey! Gotta' run or I'll miss my bus. Happy holidays!"

Stands for "Hills, Stairs, and Umbrellas." Definitely not "Humboldt State University," which is wrong.
The northernmost California State University, friendly people, great weather (if you like rain), gigantic redwoods ON CAMPUS, great hiking ON CAMPUS, we walk and bike everywhere... we're kind of a bubble here.
"I went to HSU because it's the farthest from LA without out-of-state tuition."

That stadium chant song you always hear is Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation!
A cover version of a cover version. When song C is clearly an uninspired version of song B which may or may not be an unspired version of song A.
In some people's book, a sin.
A: "Dude, your playlist is entirely made up of lame ass cover-covers of that old Tears for Fears song. Are you trying for emo kid of the year or what?"
B: "What are you talking about?!? Donnie Darko is awesome!"

Synonymous with electronic ink displays used in e-readers like the Kindle or Nook but easier to pronounce.
I'm happy to hear that pixel paper is getting cheaper! Maybe I can afford an e-reader!
