Get the Vet the Veepmug. Strongly emphasizing the "whiteness" or European (Anglo) characteristics of something, usually villains in movies.
Movies are replete with white villains, but sometimes producers hyperanglicize them by placing strong emphasis on characteristics strongly associated with canonical white culture. For example, British accents in villains are abundant even when the movie takes place in the US. Actors who play villains may already have anglo features such blue eyes or blond hair, but producers want to be sure these features do not go unnoticed and so are hyperanglicized by making them extra-blue (e.g., the colonel in Avatar) or extra-blonde (e.g., Gary Busey in Lethal Weapon).

Get the Hyperanglicizemug. An absolutely horrible, despicable, racist thing to call an individual. Unless, of course, you're black and then it's simply harmless slang for a woman with oily, unkempt hair.
Don Imus will be perpetually referred to as the guy who uttered a "racial slur" against the Rutgers women's bball team when he called them "nappy headed ho"s. Puzzlingly enough, none of the words in this phrase have anything to do with race. But, hey, since when did minor details like that get in the way of the media's campaign to constantly aggravate racial tensions in the name of selling news?

Get the nappy headed homug. A name given to really fat black women, usually approaching 300 lbs (~135 KG) because once they begin getting really massive they all begin to look alike. Their facial features get scrunched, their bellies are the first thing to enter a room and their butts the last thing to leave it.
Bobeeshas are typically very lazy, too, but this is partly understandable - if you had an extra 175 pounds strapped to you, you wouldn't want to move much more than you had to. But never get between a Bobeesha and her food or you will be sorry. Bobeeshas are also usually very irritable, have a bad attitude and love to play the blame game. Because of their difficulty in attracting mates, if they have kids, they will usually all be from different sperm donors.

I desperately needed some painkillers after my surgery, but I had a big ol' Bobeesha for a nurse who wouldn't get or do anything for me. Whenever I asked for painkillers, food, water or whatever, Bobeesha would try to convince me I didn't really need or want them (e.g., "What do you want a drink fo'? It's just gonna make you pee and you don't want to have to walk around with all those bandages, now do you?"). If I persisted, she would then ask with obvious irritation some other nurse to get these things. Eventually, they got angry and complained that she wasn't doing her job, but then she suddenly found the energy to beat them down with a racism stick.

Get the Bobeeshamug. Noun. A coveted status sought after by liberals. Victimhood implies that one or more victims are due some form of compensation from one or more offenders. The sought-after compensation is typically economic such as money, jobs, promotions, awards or opportunities such as college admissions. Intangible compensation is often a secondary consideration and usually not directly related to the offense in question, such as the displacement of blame for general achievement failures.

Get the victimhoodmug. A strategy used to conceal ignorance in a debate when unable to answer a question by deferring to a Google search as "proof" that a good answer exists.
Google Punting is an intellectually lazy way out of an argument. In essence, it is an admission of defeat by saying "I don't know, and I'm unable to put together an intelligent argument, but someone else probably could. Plus, this is great because I'm forcing you to do all the work, while implying that you're the lazy one (not me) because you couldn't look it up yourself. And, if you're stupid enough to do it, it's even better because if you find something that disproves my point I can counter with 'hey, I didn't say that', or 'you're just cherry-picking' *and* send you back searching for the 'real' answer".

Get the Google Puntingmug. A recent example of how race and victimhood are so integral to Black America's interpretation of the world around them, trumping even high levels of education, wealth and success by replacing them with pride, paranoia and blame.
White officer: "Sir, we had a report of a break in. Is this your house?"
Henry Gates Jr: "RACIST! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS TO BLACK MEN IN AMERICA, DAMMIT! YOU THINK A BLACK MAN LIKE ME COULD NEVER LIVE IN A NICE HOME LIKE THIS?"

HGJ: "WHAT? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM, PUBIC SERVANT? YOU PROBABLY MAKE LESS THAN 1% OF WHAT I DO AND IT BOTHERS YOU BECAUSE I'M BLACK, DOESN'T IT?!?"

Officer: "Fine, here's the same ID I showed you after I first knocked. Sir, if someone were breaking into your house and pretending to be you, I'm sure you would want me to verify their identity rather than take their word for it and let them loot your house, right?"
HGJ: "YOU DARE THINK THAT YOU CAN USE LOGIC ON ME? I AM A POWERFUL MAN AT HARVARD. H-A-R-V-A-R-D, DAMMIT! WHERE DID YOU GO TO SCHOOL? OH, HA, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU PROBABLY DIDN'T!
