Starcraft in Korea

A term of comparison used to describe something that is normally nerdy or uncool, but in a certain place is popular and may get you laid. Derived from how the computer game Starcraft is hugely popular and televised in South Korea, and its best players are treated as celebrities.

Being a Spock lookalike is no field trip. Except in trekkie conventions. Then it's like Starcraft in Korea.

get an inbox

Derived from the expression "get a room." When couples constantly leave romantic, mushy or suggestive messages on each other's Facebook wall for everyone else to see, someone else may tell them to "get an inbox already" and carry on in private.

Sadie: I love you SO FUCKING MUCH ahhhhhhh Im gonna die from how much I love you <3 <3 <3

Ian: me too bby

Sabrina: holy shit guys, get an inbox

margarita currency

The tendency to measure the cost of something in margaritas or another drink with a fixed, easy-to-remember price.

It'll cost your five less margaritas to fly to Orlando on the 8th than on the 9th.

Think about it in margarita currency. Think about all the margaritas you could buy instead of those slut shoes.

blast processing

When video game companies use made-up, exciting terms to describe the normal and mundane features of their consoles or games. Sega used the term "blast processing" to describe their console's capabilities in the nineties.

So Heavy Rain has a "dynamic scenario system." Does it have blast processing, too?

the Wired

The constant, massive flow of data being exchanged through the internet which is a world of its own.

Josh is stuck in the Wired. He's torrenting a game, checking Reddit and Metafilter, tweeting and chatting on four different clients.

Sometimes I have trouble telling the Wired and the real world apart.

Pitchforkcore

Music (especially indie music) or bands that were popularized by the music website Pitchfork. Often used derisively.

At this point I think we can assume that any band with "Beach" in its name is Pitchforkcore.

White kids who don't listen to rap will listen to Odd Future because it's Pitchforkcore.
