President Warren G. Harding's definitions
Amalgamation of "tourist" and "terrorist," a tourerist is a person or group of persons who exhibit reprehensible behavior while visiting a foreign country.
a) I watched in horror as a fat, unwashed American wearing a confederate-flag t-shirt shouted, "Look honey, it's the moaner-lisa!" and shoved past thirty people to gaze upon the famous painting. I thought, 'what a tourerist.'
b) Bob's cousin Heinrich was visiting from Germany, and could talk about nothing but how America is repressed, and greedy, and fat, and lazy. I told Bob his cousin was a damn tourerist.
c) When you're a guest in a foreign country or culture, you should learn the customs and some of the language, just as the locals should gently correct the guests if they commit any faux pas. If the locals do not do this, the they're letting the tourerists win.

Get the tourerist mug.The irrational, slightly hilarious, and apparently very real fear of a car or other machine transforming into a giant robot. On par with coulrophobia and triskaidekaphobia.
I met this chick last week who said that the movie 'Transformers' freaked her out. That crazy broad's got cybertronaphobia.

Get the cybertronaphobia mug.The 29th president of the United States (1921-1923), widely considered to be the worst President of all time, until soundly replaced in this title by George W. Bush (2001-2009).
Harding was from humble roots in the midwest, spoke in a a simple country manner, promised government jobs to his friends, had an administration largely associated with corruption, had a vice president who didn't say much, was immensely popular when he was elected before seeing his popularity nosedive until it was almost non-existent. In short, the only differences between Harding and the junior Bush was that Bush served 8 years to Harding's 2, and Harding never sent a single American soldier overseas to die.
Harding was not, in fact, a negro (this rumor was started by his oppositon prior to the 1920 election), though he was the first President elected after the passing of the 19th Amendment (the amendment that allowed women to vote). Unlike the junior Bush, Harding actually succeeded an *un*popular President, in that Woodrow Wilson won re-election by promising not to get involved in World War I, then entered it anyway. Another departue from Bush was the sheer mediocrity of his successor, Calvin Coolidge, who was famous for spending most of his eight years at the golf course.
The G does not, in fact, stand for Gangster.

Current membership has been relatively stable since 1996, with the top portion of the WAC dominating the national college scene, with the Boise State Broncos and Hawai'i Warriors gaining national football recognition, while the Nevada Wolfpack, Utah State Aggies, and New Mexico State Aggies have been doing the same with NCAA Division I Basketball.
Nicknames for all sports teams are, respectively, the Boise State Broncos, Fresno State Bulldogs, Hawaii Warriors, Idaho Vandals, Louisiana Tech Bulldogs, Nevada Wolfpack, New Mexico State Aggies, San Jose Spartans, and Utah State Aggies.

Hillbilly Hank: Gawrsh, I'm lookin' et our football skedyool, and we play a buncha weak-ass opponents AGAIN this year afore our SEC conference games start!
Moonshine Matt: Slow your roll, Henry, my old chum. If you'll notice, we do appear to be playing Boise State next month, and I daresay they scare the bejeezus right out of my nethers. Whilst the bottom portion of the WAC scares no one, the top half is capable of toppling even the mightest of egos, nawmsayin'?

Get the WAC mug.It's like that thing, where you accidentally knock your mouse off your desk, and rather than reach down to get it, you just grab the cable and reel it back up, hand over hand.
Tony was too fat and lazy to set his laptop aside, so just grabbed the cable on the back and did some mouse fishing.

Get the mouse fishing mug.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.

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.
