Occupy Wall Street

The bottom 99% of people on the income bracket rightfully protesting the top 1% getting more money than they deserve.

The richest people in the world (e.g. bankers, CEOs, media moguls, so called "job creators") don't actually work. They have other people work for them. They rake in millions of dollars while the people doing the actual work have to deal with lower pay and higher taxes.

And then the rich folks spend their unearned money on politicians, essentially controlling congress (both Republicans and Democrats). As a result, congress is happy to bail out these people when their businesses start losing money with cash out of the taxpayer's pocket. Not to mention the tax cuts doled out to these billionaires (started by Bush, extended by Obama). That is exactly what OWS is protesting.

Occupy Wall Street is one of the few glimmers of hope as the USA descends further into debt.

Let's have a show of hands. Thumbs up if you support the movement.

PC Gamer

1. A British magazine that gives information, release dates, and reviews about video games

2. A person who plays video games on a computer. Prefers PCs to Xbox/Playstation for reasons like stable controls, RTS games, and more control keys.

PC gamers aren't necessarily noobs. They just prefer a highly flexible, stable platform for gaming.

Pone

How retarded people spell pwn. The word pwn is a typo of the word own, so spelling it pone is just idiotic.

Noob: We poned their team in Counter Strike

Average Person: It's spelled pwned, idiot.

Noob: No, it's spelled pone. Why would it be spelled with a "w"?

Average Person: Because it's a typo of own, and it came from Warcraft III.

Noob: Whatever

Slang

The colloquial usage of non-standard words, commonly used by "ghetto" and "hip" individuals. Slang is notorious for degrading the quality of a language, but yet also evolves it. In fact, most of the words you and I use were probably not in the first dictionary.

However, slang does not mean to sell drugs. Many think that in Dem Franchize Boyz song "White Tee", they reference drug trafficking using the word "slang" (I bang in my white tee, I slang in my white tee). Rather, slang (verb) mean to front someone by using slang words to insult them, and "bang" referring to gangbanging.

Modern language would be horrendously incomplete without slang.

Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and Romanian are all slang versions of Latin.

An abbreviation of First Poster. The person who began a thread on a forum or image board.

I think the FP on this thread is just trolling us.

Bill Clinton

Our first REAL black president, unlike that poser Obama. Born into poverty in the deep south (Arkansas), had an affair with a fat white woman (Monica Lewinsky), played jazz music (saxophone), and loved him his KFC and McDonalds.

During his campaign, Bill Clinton received much support from the African-American communities, for obvious reasons.
