Get the Honor mug.Born of the typical male concept that the size of one's male sexual organ detirmines one's attractiveness, intelligence, strength, prowess, social status, and overall value in life, the size of one's "internet penis" is a handy, unified measure of one's cumulative internet je ne sais quoi... how large one looms on the vast virtual landscape of the interwebs.
Internet Penis size can be effected by the uberness of one's computer, skills/skillz, general knowledge and the ability to bring it to bear in forums and chat rooms, or any other quality that causes those around you to react along the lines of "woah. pwnage."
Synonymous with e-penis
+5 if used in jest, -15 if used seriously.

You're the only one in the forum who knew how to get the unix server back online, how to make Dreamweaver sort my stylesheets correctly, where to get the latest photoshop plug-ins, -and- how to get past level 66 in "Legend of Binkly". Your internet penis is -huge-.

Get the internet penis mug.A Proxy is the authority to represent another person or entity... Especially in the capacity of voting issues, such as on a board of directors.
This authority can be granted willingly, (as in the case of someone who cannot attend a meeting sending another to vote in her place) or unwillingly (such as in the case of a parent's authority over the affairs of a child. It can be granted with or without limitation ("Go to the meeting and vote yes on the takeover, for all my shares." or "The Executor is granted any and all reasonable powers necesary to manage and maintain the estate of Jonh, while he is in his coma.")
A parent, for instance, holds an automatic right of proxy in certain interests of her child. The child need not and cannot make decisions not granted her by her parent, because the parent has the legal authority to make those decisions for the child.
When something is done or decided by proxy, it means the actual effort of action, and sometimes the decision, was made by someone else.

Jennifer will hold my proxy for all voting issues that arise during the course of this series of meetings... Because I'm going to Aruba!

An "activist judge" is a judge who petulantly refuses make everyone else live under the rules of -your- religion.

How dare those Activist Judges suggest that homosexuals are people, too!?! The constitution clearly says that it protects all people -except- people who are different from me... Wait a second. Where's my pencil...?
The constitution says "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Note that it doesn't say "heterosexual, white, christian person". There are no 'activist judges'.

These are all street names for the benzodiazepine (ben-zo-die-AZ-ah-peen) drug flunitrazepam (flue-nih-TRAHS-ih-pam), taken from the brand-name Rohypnol...
"Administered" in this capacity, the drug has an incapacitating effect similar to but stronger, more fast acting, and more durable than alcohol... Thus allowing the attacker to make whatever use of the victim's body they wish.

See... We'll cut medicare, medicaid, food stamps, student loans, pell grants, welfare, social security, and grants for the arts... And we'll apply those savings to a tax break for the wealthiest 1/2% of Americans... Ta-da! Reverse Robin Hood!
