Literally, French for "greater force" and in older contracts, an "act of God"- an event beyond human control, such as weather, hurricanes, earthquakes, etc. In insurance and travel contracts, this is the "weasel phrase" meaning "shit happens", or at greater length, "it's out of our hands, so we don't have to do anything for you" - if your flight is cancelled because of weather, it is considered to be cancelled because of force majeure and in most cases you are SOL for lodging, meals etc. until they can arrange to get you out on another flight, perhaps days later.
From one airline's "Conditions of Carriage":
FORCE MAJEURE EVENTS
American (Airlines) may, in the event of a force majeure event, without notice, cancel, terminate, divert, postpone or delay any flight or the right of carriage or reservation of traffic accommodations without liability except to issue an involuntary refund. The involuntary refund will be made in the original form of payment in accordance with involuntary refund rules for any unused portion of the ticket. American will also reserve the right to determine if any departure or landing should be made without any liability except the afore mentioned involuntary refund.
Force Majeure Event Means:
Any condition beyond American's control including, but without limitation, meteorological conditions, acts of God, riots, civil commotion, embargoes, wars, hostilities, disturbances or unsettled international conditions - actual threatened or reported. Also, because of any delay, demand, circumstances or requirement due, directly or indirectly to such conditions, or
Any strike, work stoppage, slowdown, lockout or any other labor related dispute involving or affecting American's service, or
Any government regulation, demand or requirement, or
Any shortage of labor, fuel or facilities of American or others, or
Any fact not reasonably foreseen, anticipated or predicted by American.

Eastside gang. They throw up three fingers (like the number 3) to represent the "E". If you are part of E-Force, you know that you are THE SHIT and you don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks. They don't start problems, but you wouldn't want to fuck with them.
Wherever a member goes, they are respected and everyone knows that they are THE SHIT
Yo E-Force represent, no frontin straight stuntin.

The most effective, capable, and rational branch of the military; most effective force via General Patton, USA,"You don't win wars by dying for your country. You win wars by making the other poor bastard die for his country!"
This definition must have been written by someone in the Air Force, It's all spelled correctly!

A unit of US to Iraqi measurement conversion, whereby one US Special Forces Soldier is equal to 100 times his own weight in Iraqi insurgents.
"I'm one Special Forces officer, and I bet I can take on a thousand of you Iraqi bastards."
"Don't do it, it's a trick! He's got a friend!"

The first shout, word of power, or thu'm you learn in the game Skyrim. Is often used by Skyrim nerds and is commonly used as a way to yeet a troll off a cliff. This shout pushes objects and mobs in game away from the player. There are three words of power; Fus (meaning force), Ro (meaning balance), and Dah(meaning push). The shouts in skyrim are actually phrases in the ancient Draconic language. A battle between two dragons in game is actually a lethal conversion.
Peep 1: I'm what's the name of the shout that you can use to push a troll off a cliff?
Peep 2: Unrelenting force. The three words of power are Fus, Ro, and Dah. Remember, you screamed them at me like two minutes ago?
Peep 1: oooohhh yeeeeaaaahhh
Peep2: it's also the first word you learn, stupid.
Peep 1: FUS RO DAH
Peep 2: *Blatantly irritated* really?
When a guy is forced to say "I love you" to shut up a nagging woman. Like a gun to the head in a relationship.
Jeremy got hit with a forced confession to stop his woman from nagging him to death.
Basically when someone is tryng too hard to make a joke.
John: (bc idk what else for names)
