This definition applies to modern post-hardcore, not the old school one.
Post-hardcore contains elements of hardcore, punk, and metal, with slightly heavy, fast-paced guitar riffs. Screaming is the main vocal feature, but there are also melodic breakdowns sung in clean vocals at other times, usually in a fairly high voice.
The lyrics are often regarded as what people believe as "emo" nowadays, but if emo really did stand for "emotional", then practically all music out there should be called emo as well, like Britney Spears. The real emo is actually very different compared to the emo that MTV brainwashed everyone with, but I won't go into depth about that because there are plenty of entries of emo that talk about the real deal.
A lot of people like to associate modern post-hardcore with emo and screamo, especially since some post-hardcore bands selected those as their genres on their Myspace, but that is because Myspace doesn't have anything near post-hardcore as a selection, so selecting emo and screamo are probably the only other closest genres that people would familiarize with post-hardcore (although the real emo and screamo aren't very similar to modern post-hardcore at all). Please don't call post-hardcore "emo" and "screamo". It's post-hardcore.
Some modern post-hardcore bands include:
Alesana
Funeral For A Friend (before Tales Don't Tell Themselves)
A Skylit Drive
Lovehatehero
Escape The Fate
Chasing Victory
Alexisonfire
Underoath
Before Their Eyes
Eyes Set To Kill
Blessthefall
Dear Whoever
I Am Ghost

Lucky, a graphic novel
by Gabrielle Bell:
"Lucky" is also a startling achievement: a coming-of-age tale -- from hipster Williamsburg, no less -- told without a whisper of irony."

A filmmaker's term, usually used to postpone a certain part of the shot, be it the lighting, composition or anything else that could be fixed in post production.
Filmmakers who are short for time will use this phrase.
Camera Operator: Hey Dan, I wiggled a little during that last shot, should we take it again?
Director: Nah don't worry, we'll fix it in post.

Much like post whore, only that it sounds like a person who prostitutes on message boards, rather than one who floods and rapes threads.
The post slut's signature had her phone number in it.

Having anal intercourse in frigid temperatures when you pull out your cock and steam rises from the shit covered shaft.
I was banging this woman last winter outside when I pulled out to finish on her back and had a smoldering post...
1. N. - A type of music, typically of the independent nature, that involves twangy, surfy, ambient, glistening guitar melodies with heavy reverb applied and non-traditional drum beats; Usually calming, relaxing, and upbeat melodies are involved as well as simplicity. A relaxed vocal entourage is usually key as well as many vocal harmonies. Although relaxing, post-surf musicians usually have many up-tempo songs in their arsenal, that are meant for dancing and swaying to. Post-Surf is notable for its "raw" recorded sound.
2. N. - A certain feeling, usually from music, that makes one feel as though they are at a beach or in the ocean, even if they are no where near a beach or ever will be.
1. Wow, Real Estate, Surfer Blood, and The Beach Fossils really capture that Post-surf sound!
2. I feel so Post-surf right now. It's almost like I'm at the beach.
