Cosworth

Esteemed engine tuner based in Northampton, UK.

Previously confused as part of Ford Racing and Ford SVT because of their excellent rally successes with the Sierra Cosworth and it's derivatives including the RS200, whose insanely high performance meant most examples were written off and directly resulting in rally cars of its type being removed from the sport.

There are several "Cosworths" out there, including Mercedes and Vauxhall. Although because of the misconception these are Fords they never badge the cars as Cosworth; only Ford did this.

Audi are the current owners of Cosworth and their skill was involed in the Audi TT.

Yes. The Escort Cosworth was really a special short wheelbase Sierra with an Escort looking shell. Real Escorts have subtely different measurments.

The RS500 was called as such because of the 500 units that had to be sold to pass homologation, it's just coincidence that you can easily tune them to 500Bhp.

Cossies, whilst not as advanced as EVO sevens and the like, have far more style and personality.

Glamorama

The name of a boutique in Los Angeles that became so infamous that it became a dictionary word, although I've yet to find it in a dictionary.

A book by Bret Easton Ellis about Victor, a delsuional youth who can't work what's going on or where he is. Essentially a made up world of glamor. The title is based around the idea of fake becoming reality, a bit like MTV. Naturally Victor's been on MTV, trouble is he doesn't seem to know when he's on it.

Awesome. Cryptic. Has been called the book of the 90s.

Violent, poetic social commentary from the writer of American Psycho.

Alienware

One of the only computer builders to make cool looking systems. Even pricier than Mac and occasionaly the same system can be built by selecting a cheaper model and adding the extra stuff as options, but still totaling less.

Stunning cases and the first builder to offer liquid cooling on desktops or replacable graphics cards in laptops. They even respray mice and keyboards to match their cases.

Oh yeah, the coolest thing; the eyes on them change color to let you know the battery status. Awesome.

He bought an Alienware laptop for the lan party and all the jealous 1337 nerds shunned him like a Mac user.

You can always buy a cheap one and put a really high-end graphics card in later.

Essex Dogs

Many Fords were made at the lovely Dagenham, Essex plant. Over the years these cars and their revolutionary levels of soft, soft body work and inconsistent panel gaps became known as Essex or Dagenham Dogs.

The Ford Fiesta 1.6S MK3 was one of the only models not made in Germany or Spain, but because of it's combination of trim and engine had to be completed in the SVT (Special Vehicles Team) department at Dagenham. Do not buy this model, it can rust it's chassis rails through in about 3 years due to a bizarre lack of rust proofing.

I would guess they just plain thought someone else had sealed that bit. Perish the thought they make Police cars and Ambulances there.

moof

Use it in the same context as moose, although with the added bonus of sounding acceptable in affection too.

Holy shit, that moof is always pissed.

Ah, poor moof... is there anything you can do without getting hurt?

monkey

Monkey's near rhyming slang for skunk: strong marijuana buds.

Good monkey has little crystals of pollen falling from it. The pollen sticks to plastic, so you shouldn't really store it in baggies.

Got any monkey for tonight? I'm plenty ready for a smoke.
