  1. Split ring + Palomar = Success
  2. All your base are belong to us: A declaration of victory or superiority. The phrase stems from a 1991 adaptation of Toaplan's "Zero Wing" shoot-'em-up arcade game for the Sega Genesis game console. A brief introduction was added to the opening screen, and it has what many consider to be the worst Japanese-to-English translation in video game history. The introduction shows the bridge of a starship in chaos as a Borg-like figure named CATS materializes and says, "How are you gentlemen!! All your base are belong to us." sic In 2001, this amusing mistranslation spread virally through the internet, bringing with it a slew of JPEGs and a movie of hacked photographs, each showing a street sign, store front, package label, etc. hacked to read "All your base are belong to us" or one of the other many supremely dopey lines from the game (such as "Somebody set us up the bomb!!!" or "What happen?"). When these phrases are used properly, the overall effect is both screamingly funny and somewhat chilling, reminiscent of the B movie "They Live". The original has been generalized to "All your X are belong to us", where X is filled in to connote a sinister takeover of some sort. Thus, "When Joe signed up for his new job at Yoyodyne, he had to sign a draconian NDA. It basically said, 'All your code are belong to us.'" Has many of the connotations of "Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated"
  3. Have you looked in the mirror lately? Picking on the elderly again?

  14. 1. A (U.S. pejorative slang) Very ugly, nearly always applied to a non-canine female. * The woman was so coyote ugly that if she wanted to hold my hand, I would chew it off at the wrist and give it to her. Folk etymology: Trappers in early America would often find a coyote foot in their traps; the coyote would be so desperate to escape they presumably chewed their own limb off. In the 1970s, a comedian may have coined the term as a method of escaping from a drunken one night stand, the morning after (without waking her up.), chewing your own arm off if she is sleeping on it so that you can make a quiet exit. An unknown source also coined the term "Double Coyote Ugly", meaning you would chew your other arm off if you heard she was around town looking for a one-armed man.
