Google golf

A game consisting of trying various search terms in the hopes of finding one with the least (but still nonzero) number of results.

My best Google golf score is one. I typed in my name, and got my homepage, and nothing else. Apparently I'm a nobody. But at least I got an unbeatable score!

Tetrising

The art of fitting multiple large objects into a small space, or maneuvering a single object around a tight corner or through a narrow doorway. Can also be applied to numbers that have to total to less than some limit.

My dad is a master of Tetrising. No matter how many frozen goods he buys at the grocery store, he can always find a way to fit them all into the freezer.

Help! I need to fit this 38 inch couch through my 30 inch apartment doorway! Anyone good at Tetrising?

OK, so I have $1500 and I need to pay all these bills totaling $2000... No amount of Tetrising is going to help me here!

So if I can keep my character's encumbrance under 35%, I get a mana regeneration boost... Let's see, I'm at 32% now, if I drop the helm of intelligence, I could equip the bracers of defense against cold... That would put me at 34%, so I should be good... Gah! All this Tetrising of stats is driving me crazy! Why can't they implement a sliding scale for this silly bonus so I don't have to worry about hard limits?!

the jigglies

The sexual reward one receives for winning a match of Super Smash Bros. That is, your controller vibrates. You know what to do.

Yeah! I just beat Pikachu with Samus' screw attack! I got the jigglies!

rockroll

To stealthily link someone to the theme song for the Megaman cartoon by Ruby Spears, or the intro from Megaman 2, or any other totally awesome Megaman music. Derived from rickroll.

Super fighting robot! Megaman! Can't stop singing that since I got rockrolled!

mullet lawn

A lawn which is well cared for on the front side of the house, but in disarray on the back, much like a mullet - "business in the front, party in the back".

The Hendersons have such a mullet lawn. It's just like their marriage - they're always putting on their best face for the neighborhood, but deep down, they have issues...

lead bubble

Something (such as a character or vehicle in a video game) that can take a certain amount of damage without any degradation of performance, until the point at which it runs out of hitpoints and suffers spontaneous existence failure.

The idea is that it's like a bubble in the sense that when it's destroyed, it just suddenly "pops" out of existence, but it's made of lead, so it's stronger than an actual bubble.

The name comes from Megaman 2, where one of the weapons Megaman could get was called the "Bubble Lead". Which was probably a reference to how it "leads" you and finds hidden pits, but a lot of people started pronouncing it like the metal lead...

I put so many shield generators on my ship that it's practically a lead bubble now. 1,000 HP worth of shields, and 150 HP worth of internal components... one hit from a wave motion gun once the shields are down and it's toast!

square hole

A hole into which everything goes.

This is the square. Do you know which hole it goes into? That's right, it goes into the square hole!

This is the rectangle. Which hole does it go into? That's right, it goes into the square hole too!

*5 minutes later*

This is the truncated dodecahedron. Do you know which hole it goes into?

(pause)

That's right! It goes into the square hole too!
