'Lessons'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
On the other hand, I'm unreasonably fond of "pants" as used by Fay and I think Jim (among others - definitely seems to be a UK thing).
Of course, it's pretty much the opposite of "tits", "sick", etc., as in "Are you high, man? That Yoda scene wasn't tits; it was completely pants."
As does having never heard "ownage" before.
It comes from on-line video games. If you kick someone's ass, you "owned" them. I think it's dumb and I play video games.
I've heard and used normal forms of 'own': "The reason you talk smack about that kick is because you don't own it." Works for me. I've never heard "ownage" in real life.
"Are you high, man? That Yoda scene wasn't tits; it was completely pants."
For some reason, I love this sentence madly.

Well, it pretty much sums up how I felt talking to some people about the Yoda fight scene in AotC. Not that that's why you would love it, but it's why I thought of it.
Frank totally owned that slang.
Yeah, it was wicked sick.

It doesn't hurt, that's for sure.
As the Lucasfilm logo faded away, someone in the audience did the Chewbacca...thing.
This makes me laugh.
I remember that happened when Star Wars (the first one) was re-released -- we went opening night, so the theater was packed and roiling with excitement, and as soon as the lights dimmed, someone did a truly impressive Wookie impersonation.

And that's a perfectly acceptable use of the word, IMO.
