The term given to the core of young British players that played for Liverpool FC in the 1990s. Coined mainly as a derogatory term, it mocked the players' underachievement in winning trophies compared to the team of the previous decade, seen as a byproduct of their laddish behaviour and laissez-faire attitude to the game, such as the occasion they paraded the pitch before the 1996 FA Cup Final in Armani cream suits, and subsequently lost to rivals Manchester United. Since then, the term has also become a general slang term for garishly metrosexual young men, though it has largely slipped out of the common vernacular with 'fuckboys' being a more common modern alterntive.
If The Spice Boys had spent less time snorting lines and shagging strippers and more time training they might have actually won a league title.
Acronym for Weapon of Ass Destruction, a phrase parodying the title 'Weapon of Mass Destruction,' sometimes used in jest by fuckboy types in reference to their penis so as to imply it to be so large when erect as to make anal intercourse a potentially dangerous proposition.
My opening line on Tinder was that my dick was a WAD. She never replied. Can't imagine why.
Kazakh singer and musician. Dimash Kudaibergen has been active as a performer for a number of years, but reached wider recognition in Asia after appearing on the Chinese television show The Singer in 2017, and has gradually become more popular in the Western world, notably since appearing on American talent show 'The World's Best' in 2019. Dimash is known for combining elements of his classical training with both traditional Kazakh music and Eastern and Western popular music, and for his wide vocal range and theatrical performing style.
Dimash is the personification of that stereotype that no matter how good you are at something, some kid in Asia can do it better.

YouTuber, guitarist/musician who initially rose to minor fame on the Internet through a series of spoof videos, and later parody songs, depicting 'tropes' in music mainly found in modern sub-genres of heavy metal including deathcore and post-hardcore, and now makes general heavy metal related YouTube content.
1. Man I miss when SteveTerreberry made those parody vids instead of just reacting to lists and Buzzfeed vids.

A vague term of praise bestowed upon sports teams or players when a commentator or pundit wants to praise them, but cannot highlight anything about their performance that was particularly good. Especially popularised by former Liverpool and Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, the term 'great character' is good as it is ambiguous enough that a team or athlete does not have to show any particular attribute to qualify for it, but nevertheless vaguely implies some kind of tenacity or strength of personality on their part.
"The boys showed great character out there today to get that win."
Romantic love meant to be of a purer and more intellectual nature in which a male, typically a knight, pursues a noble female in a chivalrous manner and accomplishes great deeds to woo her; the concept was often represented in medieval Western European art and literature. Not to be confused with Courtney Love, former lead vocalist of American rock band Hole and widow of Kurt Cobain.
The hangover of courtly love's idealisation of women has been both a help and a hindrance to feminism in the modern world.
