republican

A person of American origin who obstensibly votes for a certain political party called Republicans. There are in fact three distinctive types of Republicans:
1) those who call themselves fiscal conservatives and focus primarily on promoting free enterprise, lowering of federal and state taxes, and cutting government regulations to allow the market more leeway; 2) those who call themselves social conservatives, who focus on promoting religious orthodoxy in both a social and political environs, the curtailing of 'permissive' acts of sexuality, and generally promoting the vague standard of 'family values'; and 3) serious evil f-cks who take both aspects of 1) and 2) to extreme levels, who have no tolerance for others of dissenting opinions, who declare everyone and their parents 'traitors' at the slightest provocation, and are more than enjoying themselves with the thought of dragging the entire planet into Hell.
On no account should you allow a Type-3 Republican to read 'Weekly Standard' to you. Not because anything he says will convince you but because he'll start foaming at the mouth and you'll have to clean up the mess.
Well, yes, I'm a repubican but I'm from the wing of the party that actually tries to be nice to people.

saddam

Cartoon character on South Park who keeps wanting to take over Canada. Responsible for killing Kenny, the bastard!
Character is rumored to be based on a real person, but is actually a composite of various people including Donald Rumsfeld, Pat Buchanan (where the Canada-taking hostility comes from), and whoever it was that created that whole Riverdance fad years ago.
Canada is free! Hooray! The Americans caught Saddam!

pt cruiser

A car model by Chrysler shaped like an old-style 50s roadster, but with better curves. Not entirely an SUV (it's lower to the ground, has better gas mileage and doesn't look like a shoe box on wheels), not entirely a sports car (too functional, not angular enough in the driver/passenger areas), it has a shape and style instantly recognizable. Enthusiasts have also taken to adding effects such as chrome, decals, spoilers, and more chrome to give each car a distinctive flavor/identity. The only argument against the car is its 4-cylinder engine which weakens its acceleration ability. Otherwise, it's a great car.
That PT Cruiser over there has a chrome grille, a scoop hood, rear wing spoiler, and flag decals all over the doors. And dice, it's gotta have fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror!

flcl

abbreviation for wordfooly cooly which is an Americanized translation of wordfuri kuri. Title of an anime mini-series of six half-hour episodes about a boy hitting puberty only to find puberty hitting back...either with a Vespa scooter or a chainsaw-powered guitar. The boy Naota has to deal with an absentee older brother (baseball player in the US) whom he worships, a dad obsessed with manga/anime whom he despises, the 17-yr-old ex-girlfriend of his brother's that flirts with him a little tooooo eagerly, and a possible alien female who moves in as a housemaid but really works constantly to knock battle robots out of Naota's head. Add a robot called Canti that has to eat Naota in order to gain superpowers to battle evil robots, a factory without workers overshadowing the town that's shaped like a steam iron, a secret government force led by a man with the worst fake eyebrows in the history of animation, and a kick-ass pop-rock song "Ride On Shooting Star" by the Pillows and you've got a ready-made cult classic.
flcl? What the f-ck? I've watched it twice and I just barely understand the theological implications of Canti being a angelic Christ figure, but still...what's with the spicy curry?

deep throat

1) to perform fellatio (dick-sucking) to where the penis is sticking in the performer's throat (usually causing a gag reflex);
2) title of a movie that referred to the act of deep throating;
3) name given to an informant figure who spoke to Woodward and Bernstein during the Washington Post's investigation of the Watergate break-in. His identity has essentially been kept a secret and has been the focus of a parlor guessing game in DC.
Some believe Deep Throat was either fake, a literary creation to sell the book 'All the President's Men,' but too much surrounding evidence does suggest there was at least one deep source providing clues. The more likely scenario is that Deep Throat is indeed a merging of a handful of sources (despite Woodward's assertions it's only one person) in order to both protect their identities as well as create a mesmerizing character in the book written about the investigation.
If Deep Throat is indeed one person, the most likely suspects are with the FBI, who were being pressured by the CIA (acting on Nixon's orders, according to his own tape recordings) to cover up the whole mess, and who were fighting back as best they could against a White House that was threatening their relative independence within the government (during Hoover's lifetime, the FBI became a separate power unto itself, and with Hoover's death at the time of the break-in, that was being threatened).
1) Deep throating has got to hurt. Especially if she bites down.
2) Deep Throat was a top person with the FBI, a guy named M. Felt. His initials are MF, the same as the 'My Friend' that Woodward tried calling his source at the beginning of the investigation. Nice clue, ya?

moderate

1) a sane person;
2) someone with a political belief that sits between the two extremes of liberal and conservative, usually combining aspects of both (example: liberal on social issues yet conservative on economic issues);
3) someone who seeks compromise on political issues and as such gets insulted by the two extremes who just don't get the idea that this form of government survives by compromise;
4) someone whose political beliefs seem quiet and mild, and as such always ignored by the media, which seeks out people from the screechy Left and shrill Right because they make for better sound bites.
Moderates rule. Turn off FOX News and CNN and turn on Cartoon Network!
