Brotherhood Wink

A knowing glance from a person you have been inadvertently thrown into a situation with - to signal that you they are on your side.

Man, I was so scared walking through Chapeltown in Leeds but then one of the gangsters gave me a brotherhood wink and I didn't feel threatened anymore. I could chill.

Roident

A student who become muscular to the point of looking completely stupid.

Typically, there is a suggestion that the use of steroids may be taking place due to the huge disparity between face and torso.

Jesus Christ! That kid's body does not suit his face at all. He has the face of a poindexter, but the body of Arnie.

Damn roidents!

That part of the brain that won't shut the f*** up!

Already Retro

The phenomenon of something instantly becoming retro once it has been released.

Those are some nice glasses. But they're already retro!

Honest Advertising

Advertising which is overtly transparent about the way in which it works.

In the past the phrase would have implied the relaying of accurate facts, figures and statements about a product as a way of convincing the customer to make a purchase; today the term has come to mean the honesty of the company about the mechanisms which it employs in order to persuade people to buy a particular product.

e.g. Morgan Spurlock's corporate expose, "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold".

Jesus! This new McDonalds ad is saying that the only reason why I eat Big Macs is because my body is physically addicted to the artificial flavour enhancers they use! As much as I think the food sucks, that is honest advertising!
