Dictionary of Playground Slang (Online)

Enormous, huge. From massive, mega.

A test of one's machismo conducted by rubbing at the forearm with an eraser until the skin is rubbed raw. Called a "macho test" it was really more a test of one's stupidity in grade school (where my classmates were conducting it). What basically happened was one would take those basic pink school erasers, or the eraser from a pencil, and rub the forearm vigorously until multiple layers of skin and forearm hair were removed, leaving the area bald, shiny, and very very very raw.

The fact that one could do this to themselves and endure it was supposed to be a testament to their machismo.

Word used to emphasise effect. Can be used as 'really'. Used as "That test was MAD hard", i.e. 'That test was really hard".
