President Warren G. Harding's definitions
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.

Get the Big 8mug. 1) The act of erotically dancing for someone or someones, perhaps with removal of clothing articles, so as to distract said person or persons before using a taser on them.
2) Typo of "strip tease."
3) Best not to confuse the two.

Get the Yahooablemug. 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.

Get the OKC Thundermug. An NCAA collegiate conference formed in 1995, located in mostly the southeastern portion of the United States.
Initially a merger between two smaller conferences which did not sponsor football at the time, C-USA added its 12th member in 1996 to even out the membership.
Though members have left in the ensuing years, most notably to the expansion of the Big East prior to the 2005 season, Conference USA responded admirably by extending invitations to schools from the mid-major WAC and MAC conferences. As of 2010, C-USA has 12 universities in its fold, is recognized nationally in athletics as well as academics, and has more football bowl tie-ins than any other mid-major conference.
C-USA East:
University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Blazers
University of Central Florida (UCF) Golden Knights
East Carolina University (ECU) Pirates
Marshall University Thundering Herd
Memphis Tigers
Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles
C-USA West:
University of Houston Cougars
Rice University Owls
Southern Methodist University (SMU) Mustangs
University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) Miners
Tulane Green Wave
Tulsa Golden Hurricane

(1) Guido: Hey, my team's playing Tulsa this weekend. Why we gotta schedule such weak-ass Sun Belt competition?
Fredo: Dude, Tulsa plays in Conference USA. They're not exactly the Big 12, but they have six automatic bowl tie-ins and super-high attendance. Don't be hatin'.
Guido: My bad, dawg.
(2) Tara: Like, OMG, my boyfriend loves the SEC but I can't stand their crazed, screaming fans all year long. What should I do?
Kara: You should pick a Conference USA school. It's, like, totally the same geographic region, n' junk? Except it's way more fun, a lot less redneck, and you can still go to a bowl game or NCAA basketball tournament that kicks ass!
Tara: That is SO cool! I'll look into that! For serious!

Get the buysexualmug. 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."
