  • Awkward Turtle - A hand gesture and internet meme popularly used to diffuse awkward social situations. There are now a number of groups, businesses and websites named after or based on the concept.

  • "You People" is an expression very often used in American movies: someone says it, then someone else, usually black, repeats, like "You "People"?!?" it and everyone seems shocked, then the first one apologizes. It is in almost every second US movie that I've seen recently. This expression is not found in dictionaries or other encyclopedias, and for a foreigner such as myself it would be interesting to understand what exactly is the meaning, eventually its' origin and history. I believe it is notable. Thanks! (P.S. You people redirects to You but no explanation is found in that article.) --5ko 00:03, 18 March 2007
