The only green day song that i can't stand because: a) it's overplayed b) green day didn't even fucking write it, so it can't be that good c) a lot of times it's the only green day song that people know, which is a problem because if one song exemplifies green day, it's probably something more like longview than this sappy piece of crap Urban Dictionary

A term coined by Mark Moritz in "Cooper's Corner"--December 1990. It is sometimes abbreviated as "GRF." It is the momentary feeling of euphoria that accompanies the news that one low life has terminated another low life with a gun. In a broader sense though, the end result is the same regardless of the weapon used: the world temporarily becomes a better place, and it was not done at taxpayer expense. It's a win-win for normal citizens, but the ACLU (a lobby for criminals) loses another prospective client. Examples include (but are not limited to): -- A drug buyer gets greedy and kills the drug dealer for his drugs. -- A pussy gangbanger (aren't they ALL?) pops a cap into another pussy gangbanger in a turf war. -- A child rapist gets shanked in prison by his fellow inmates. -- A Longshoreman's Union thug kills a Teamster's Union thug with a garrote. -- A Shi'ite Muslim terrorist blows up a Wahabbi Muslim terrorist. -- A Chinese mobster gives his local Communist official acute lead poisoning with an AK-47. Urban Dictionary

A great acoustic song from Californian Pop-Punk/Alternative Rock band Green Day. Released on their fifth album, Nimrod, it has also been included on the albums International Superhits! and Bullet In A Bible. Alternate titles for it include Good Riddance, Time of Your Life, and Time of Your Life (Good Riddance). Billie Joe Armstrong said about the song: "At the time I wrote Good Riddance, I was breaking up with a girl that was moving to Ecuador, and I was trying to be as understanding about it as I could. I wrote the song as kind of a bon voyage. I was trying not to be bitter, but I think it came out a little bit bitter anyway... I thought that calling the song "Time of Your Life" was just a little too level-headed for me, so I had to come up with something different." At the beginning of the album version, Billie Joe Armstrong messes up, tries again, makes the same mistake, then says "fuck." In between the tries, you can hear the faint sound of a digital metronome. The song has been covered many times, and has also appeared in various other media. It has also been used many times as a graduation song. Urban Dictionary

The equivalent to hiccups, what "bless you" is to sneezing. Urban Dictionary

An expression of sorrow to see someone or something good departing. Urban Dictionary

Robert [Sherrill] is a liberal anti-gun reporter from New York. He wrote a book called "[Saturday Night Special]," mainly about how bad guns are. In it, however, he raised an interesting point, one that is a dirty secret, something which decent people are not supposed to mention publically: Of the people killed with guns every year, how many are true "tragedies," and how many are we frankly better off without? When drug dealer A kills drug dealer B, Handgun Control, Inc., marks it down as a [terrible loss] to society. In fact, drug dealer B may have been a boil on the butt of society, and will not be missed at all. When Blood A kills Crip B, Sarah Brady [wails] "See, you are more likely to kill an acquaintance than a stranger." When a women kills the man who has been beating her and the kids for years, the anti-gunners say, "If there had been [no gun] around they would have turned into Ward and June Cleaver and lived happily ever after." I say GOOD RIDDANCE. One less drug dealer, one less wife abuser, one less psychopathic [social parasite] suits me just fine. Certainly some good, innocent people die from gunshot wounds every year, but I wonder how many? Nobody keeps statistics on decent folks vs. dirtbags. So often when I read about a shooting in the newspapers, it seems to occur in the parking lot behind a bar at 3:00 a.m., and the victim has a tattoo of Satan on his arm and a rap sheet like a roll of [Brawny] paper towels. Pardon me if I'm not heartbroken about society's terrible loss. Whenever you hear somebody talking about the number of tragic gun deaths, remember to adjust the statistics to take into account the estimated Good Riddance Factor. ❋ (I Am) John Doe (2009)

Lyrics to [Good Riddance] (Time Of Your Life): Another turning point, a [fork stuck in the road] Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go So make the best of this test and don't ask why It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life So take the photographs and still frames in your mind Hang them on a shelf in good health and good time Tattoos and memories and dead skin on trial [For what it's worth], it was worth all the while It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right I hope you had the time of your life ❋ Lucio Soph (2010)
