While we're here:

Tetsuo (tet' soo oh) v. To run head-on into an obstacle, usually on a
motorcycle or in an aircraft or automobile, and explode violently.

(As someone mentioned after this definition appeared in the UF3 glossary, this
makes Tetsuo somewhat analogous to a Ford Pinto.)

Robotech (ro' bo tek) v. 1. To take various bits of plotline which are not at
all connected and jam them together until they almost fit into one continous
story. 2. In missiles, to scatter in a random direction after launch, then
converge from several directions on the target. (Thought to confuse/defeat
anti-missile systems.)

Just my little additions...

Here's a few more, some anime related, some not (some mine, and some
written originally by David Gerrold in Starlog):

KIRK (v): To break or severely test the Prime Directive, as in,
"This used to be a great planet 'til they kirked it."

SEIYA(v): To absorb tremendous punishment and keep on going, fixated
on a single goal: "Rocky Balboa did a Seiya and won the heavyweight title."
Also, to fall off a cliff and climb up it repeatedly.

KAOS(n): A deus-ex-machina, often in the form of a wizard who COULD
do everything that all the heroes do, but can't seem to be bothered.
See also DOSH(ko).

DOSH, Doshko(n): A wise man who knows all the answers but can't
be bothered to tell them to you -- you have to find out yourself. As
a verb, to behave as a Dosh: "Ben Kenobi really doshed Luke."

SAGAN (n): An uncountable number: billions and billions and
billions: "Captain, we're sagan kilometers from our previous position!"
"Impossible! The universe isn't that big!"

Oh, which reminds me, I forgot one:

Scott Bernard (skot' ber nard') v. To fire all one's available missiles at a
single or small number of targets, esp. from an Alpha or Legioss mecha, when
the target is at best worthy of one to three of them. Note that it is possible
to Scott Bernard other missile-rich mecha as well, including various Destroids,
mobile missile platforms, and the SDF-1. (Remember Force of Arms? :-)

Enjoy...

In the same vein.......

Kyosuke (Kee Yous Kay): (v) (1) To end up with exactly what you -didn't- want,
due to inaction or merely fate. (2) To end up in a ridiculous situation
which, you are sure, could only happen to -you-.
eg(1).: Darrell kyosuke'd himself when he proved unable to decide what
classes to take until they were all already full.

and

Akane (Ah Kahn Ay): (v) To protect someone from an imagined evil, which the
person being protected does not perceive.
eg.: Reagan akaned the US from the "Evil Empire" of the Warsaw Pact.

(This is Akane from the KOR OVA, -not- the Ranma 1/2 character.)

Good definition, lousy example. (Especially since Reagan's policies
caused the USSR to collapse.)

Should read, "To reveal." After all, Madoka is probably aware of her
inate abilities. It is just that no one else knows until the moment of truth.

Being a whacko pinko hippie lacking-in-family-values subversive (and also the
person who posted the original definition), I happen to think it's a damn fine
example.

However, I have absolutely no interest in debating this. Take it to
talk.politics or whatever if you've got a problem with it, and maybe you can
find someone who's willing to argue the point. I have better things to do.
