Definition

Most often,gamersuse GotY when discussing a video game that has been chosen as the Game of the Year by a gaming website, awards show, or magazine. The GotY is (at least theoretically) the best game released in a given year. However, gaming publications don't always agree on which of a year's games is the best, so multiple games released within the same year may receive the GotY title from different sources.

This variety being one who can capably function in the "fields" of the culture of black folk, per se, while somehow also managing the "house" of an adverse greater society at large. A sort of human buffer-state; a conduit. Tool shed serving as metaphor for common ground, as he/she is often used, regarded -or taken advantage of- equally by opposing sides. Tool-shed negroes are rare and generational. They usually have polarizing personalities and are of the intellectual/creative/free-spirited type (a lá James Baldwin, Michelle Obama, Kanye West et al.)

dictionary polluter

The scourge of Urban Dictionary: teenagers who clog the site with weirdly specific entries about classmates nobody else knows or cares about. These digital graffiti artists think immortalizing "Sarah from Algebra" or confessing love via crowdsourced definitions is peak creativity.
