Civil protection, a.k.a. metro police, are the worst a-holes in the half life universe. They kick down your door, they beat the crap out of you, and are generally unpleasant. IS WHAT I WOULD HAVE SAID IF I WAS A STUPID, NO-BRAIN REBEL!!!
The metro police are the nicest in city 17, they'll always be right beside you, always protecting you, always saving you from stupid headcrabs trying to bite your head off!! They're the best!!!
Guy 1: Hey, you think civil protection are good?
Guy 2: Heck yeah i do!
Guy 1: You ain't wrong, man!
A term first coined by UFO researcher, Richard Dolan, back in 2010. The term is his description of a particularly wealthy and powerful sub-set of the human race whom he believes have been secretly amassing for themselves exotic and highly advanced technology. Via this hoarding of high tech for themselves (and by keeping it from the rest of the world) these highly-placed elites actually live secret, hidden lives of extreme opulence and leisure. He has even postulated that via this advanced tech, they have built separate cities for themselves, located ether in remote places (such as underground, or on the ocean floor, or within the mountains of Antarctica, etc), or even off world.
The 2013 Matt Damon movie "Elysium" had a similar premise involving a massive, self-sustaining city that orbited the Earth and was the exclusive domain of the very wealthy. The only difference here is that in the movie "Elysium," the titular orbital city was not a secret, but rather its existence was fully known about by all peoples of Earth who could clearly see it orbiting overhead. The city was merely inaccessible to anyone who was not a wealthy elite.
The wealthy elites of the world have built for themselves a breakaway civilization, separate from the rest of the unwashed masse, where they enjoy technology far advanced from what we currently have.
Originally defined as "civil" due to its separation from the military. In the past it denoted all types of engineering including electrical, mechanical, mining, etc. Today it includes bridges, canals, docks, foundations, harbors, off-shore construction, railways, river basin management, sewerage, soil mechanics, structural design, construction, traffic engineering, water supply, etc. The field so large that no engineer can easily specialize in more than two areas.
In other words, civil engineering deals with civilization building and maintenance.
They also like to drink beer, crack lewd jokes, and are generally above average in both looks and intelligence thus guaranteeing that they can attract members of the opposite sex and fill the world with more civil engineers.
Woman 1: Is that a civil engineer over there?
Woman 2: He is devastatingly handsome isn't he?

To behave in a civilised manner, to act with civility. When one is not currently keeping it "real", the best you can hope is that they keep it "civil".
This is also a good way of pissing off people who you don't like.
This can be used as a derogatory term.
"Take it easy man"
Fist to Fist
"Keep it civil"

The ability of any game of the Civilization series to produce an addiction sufficient to warp spacetime around the player. Results in being tardy or accidently pulling a video game all-nighter.
Gamer Dude #1: "Well, I was playing Civilization 4 in the afternoon, and then, suddenly, it was the next morning!"
Gamer Dude #2: "Sounds like the Civilization affect, alright."
