" rivalries "

 [ "Rivalry" ]

1: When you remember that one kid you had a crush on from the Garrison and told your gay dad all about, so instead of getting rejected or making it awkward, you pretend you hate him. It backfires when you have a bonding moment and he pretends he doesn’t remember it.

  * e.g.,  ... It’s a rivalry. You know? Lance and Keith, neck and neck. 

 [ "Rivalry" ]

1: Michigan vs. Ohio State Plain and simple

  * e.g.,  ... Dude let's go watch the rivalry! 

 [ "Rock Rivalry" ]

1: A competion in East Rockaway High School that takes place between the months of January and March, involving students in grades 9 through 1 Rock Rivalry consists of many competitive and creative events, such as a sports night, arranging/directing a short musical production, and creating both a stand and mural to reflect the theme of each respective performance. Nassau Community College studies have found that the competition causes a great deal of inter-class and intra-class tensions. In addition, the only award for winning said event is a silver cup that the class can only keep for 2 days, usually resulting in copious amounts of alcohol consumption for both winners and losers alike. For about 2 months, this is all the high school will be talking about. East Rockaway High School has had this tradition every year since 1936

  * e.g.,  ... Josh: I think we are going to beat the juniors this year in Rock Rivalry Tom: Yea maybe but also watch out for the freshman and sophomores! 

 [ "Retard Rivalry" ]

1: An argument or fight between two or more stupid people. Especially immaturely and in front of a group of people.

  * e.g.,  ... Those two dumbasses, Ben and Jared, both liked the same girl, so they formed a retard rivalry and began yelling at each other like fucking five-year olds. The retard rivalry between the homosexual HSM fanboy and the emotard went over the edge and eventually the two began viciously attacking each other. 

 [ "friendly rivalry" ]

1: A connection shared between people who can't stand each other's guts but don't dislike each other either. Typically amongst Pokémon trainers, die hard melee fans, and cucumbers.

  * e.g.,  ... Red and Gary have a healthy friendly rivalry. 

 [ "sibling rivalry" ]

1: The thing that my dumbass half-brother lincoln is obsessed with, the only thing competing with sonic.

  * e.g.,  ... Fuck you lincoln, sibling rivalry is the only thing that can compete with your obsession over sonic 

 [ "sibling rivalry" ]

1: the worst cinema motion picture release of all time, released in 1990. The storyline and plot are badly written, the acting is crummy to the hilt, the comedic elements and jokes are a bit on the sadistic nature - hell, even the obligitory sex scene is so phony you won't believe the directors and producers put it in like they did. It stars Kirstie Alley who was then starring in the cool TV series Cheers.

  * e.g.,  ... Don't waste your time with seeing Sibling Rivalry. It's absolutely depressing that this shit was actually promoted and advertised as a comedy. 

 [ "Sibling Rivalry" ]

1: Sibling rivalry is when you travel to Europe and visit culturally significant sites; so as to only be able to boast about random trivia in front of your older sibling. Also referred to as the bourgeoisie way of smack talk.

  * e.g.,  ... M's sibling rivalry resulted in her taking an unnecessarily expensive trip to the Acropolis museum in Greece. 

 [ "one-way rivalry" ]

1: A one-way rivalry is a rivalry where one of the participants is much more emotionally invested in the conflict. This state could arise if one of the parties (A) to the rivalry objectively outmatches the other (B) in significant way. The inferior party (B) will continue to value the prospect of winning, while (A) will shift focus toward other competitors that provide more of a challenge. Alternatively, (A) may simply have lost interest in the rivalry. (B) may perceive their opponent (A) to be elitist or condescending if the one-way status of rivalry becomes clear. Conversely, (A) may consider (B) to be desperate or insecure.

  * e.g.,  ...  In sports, the Mets-Yankees rivalry is a great example of a one-way rivalry. By virtue of their geographic proximity, some conflict between the teams is inevitable. However, the Yankees are widely acknowledged to be the more powerful of the two and find the Red Sox to be a more worthy opponent (though the Sox-Yankees has had elements of a one-way rivalry in the past). Perhaps the most significant example in US society is the South's antagonism for the North. Many Southerners still bear great ill will toward the North for their victory in the Civil War and subsequent control during Reconstruction, some even believing that the North may be actively attempting to "keep them down". Actual antagonism from Northerners toward the South is generally limited to jokes about the Southern accent and the like. 

 [ "Red River Rivalry" ]

1: When a man has a threesome with two menstruating women who are vying for his love and affection.

  * e.g.,  ... There's a real Red River Rivalry going on between Tom, Sue, and Sally.
