OKC Thunder

The arbitrary name given to the NBA's Seattle Supersonics after they were stolen by a lying, dishonest, manipulative Oklahoma City businessman. So named because in a state as boring as Oklahoma, the most interesting thing anyone could think to name their only pro-team after was the weather.

The theft was so blatant and offensive that even local Oklahoma City residents expressed discomfort with acquiring a pro franchise in such a manner, having been previously rooting for the New Orleans Hornets during the temporary Katrina-related relocation of 2005-06.

Seattle residents still vent with rage over the actions of the OKC businessman and the former Sonics owner. Even renowned sports columnist The "Sports Guy" Bill Simmons refuses to call the team by their new name, referring to them in all print as the Zombie Sonics.

In short, every sports movie ever made has a villian who is threatening to move the team for no good reason. The OKC Thunder are permanent, living proof that bad guys really do win in real life.
Trent: Yo, you wanna go to the game tonight? Lakers are starting their 3-game homestand.
Kent: Eh, dunno, who are they playing?
Trent: Oh.... oh. The OKC Thunder. Never mind then, man, I don't want to support that shitty team, even on accident. Let's go watch football instead.

Petflix

1) A disc from Netflix that has been sitting in your home for over a month, meaning it is no longer just a movie but an addition to your household, and must be fed and watered.

2) Movies for your pet.
1) Al: "Hey, these DVDs have like an inch of dust on them. What's the deal?"
Bob: "Oh, I keep meaning to watch those. They've been sitting there six months, so at this point they're Petflix.

2) Cindy: "Oh honey, the dog gets so sad when we leave him here all day while we're at work."
Dan: "It's cool, baby, just put on some Petflix and that'll make him happy until quitting time."

table general

The person who directs the movement, placement, and direction of food at the dinner table, particularly at a large meal or gathering. This can be achieved by democracy, but is more typically dictated by strength of character and who has the best spatial relations... or just the most experience with food.
"We were overwhelmed by the amount of food on the table for the 12-person Christmas dinner. Luckily Grandpa was an efficient table general.

Magic Negro

A male or female of African-American heritage that appears in a movie, story, or play, often with some sort of magical, sage powers, strictly for the purpose of providing such wisdom to the white hero, for no apparent reason, but just when he or she needs it the most. They often then immediately depart from the story altogether.

The Magic Negro has no life of his or her own, but seems to see all, know all, and divine all, due to their humble roots and avoidance of the racist white power structure that our hero-of-European-heritage so nobly rebels against. Typically appearing in 19th century- or early-20th century period pieces, the Magic Negro has more recently been seen dispensing his or her powers from within the existing white establishment, as with the character of Morpheus in "The Matrix."

Not to be confused with Barack Obama, who had a lengthy career as a lawyer and state senator which was often overlooked by many American conservatives, eager to pass him off with a dismissive stereotype, despite the fact that upon assuming the Presidency in 2009, had more government and legal experience than George W. Bush did in 2001.

John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan) in "The Green Mile," Bagger Vance (Will Smith) in "The Legend of Bagger Vance," and Cash (Don Cheadle) in "The Family Man" are all textbook examples of the Magic Negro.

Frasierverse

The universe of characters centered around the fictional Dr. Frasier Crane. This character appeared on "Cheers," "Wings," and the eponymous sictom "Frasier." Any characters from these shows, and therefore any additional shows in which those characters appeared or were referenced in, are within this fictional reality.
"I know Lowell Mather (Thomas Haden Church) never actually met Sam Malone (Ted Danson), but they could have; all existed for years within the Frasierverse."

Big 8

A now-defunct collegiate football conference in the U.S.

Formed in 1907 as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the only charter members to still remain upon its dissolution in 1996 were the Tigers of the University of Missouri, the Cornhuskers of the University of Nebraska, and the Jayhawks of the University of Kansas.

Despite numerous changes in membership during its 89-year history, it kept its name (officially) throughout, and in fact still had eight members in 1996 when it dissolved, combining with remnants of the Southwest Conference to form the Big 12.

Though the Big 12 was only the Big 8 plus Baylor, University of Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech, the Big 12 did not claim the Big 8's history as its own, thus ending its existence.
