Rating system implemented in the 2003 season to rate MLB umpires' performances. One of the worst ideas in baseball history.
QuesTech may have been a bad idea, but it couldn't possibly have been as bad an idea as making the All-Star Game winner have home field advantage in the World Series.

Get the questechmug. RB: If you guys are all about individuality, why do you all have the same artificially-black hair, black nails, bobby-pinned clothes, and plaid pants?
Punk: Dude, you're such a frekin' hypocrite!

Get the Hypocritemug. There is a difference between geeks and nerds.
Nerds are smart, people who lack much of a social life. They often have very few friends. Nerds don't talk much, and don't expect others to talk much to them. They are usually nice people, but don't have the social skills to go out and meet new friends.
Geeks are different from nerds in the fact that they have social lives. However, these social lives are often spent pursuing some passion that the geek is obsessed with (i.e. Yu-Gi-Oh!). They spend all their time thinking about their one obsession, and play it in all of their free time. Geeks are usually only friends with other geeks, and attempts to converse with geeks is futile, unless, of course, you want to talk about Star Trek or whatever the certain geek is obsessed with.
Examples of geek obsessions are Star Trek, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic the Gathering, StarCraft, and basically any other RPG.

Nerds are often very shy, while geeks are more outgoing.
Nerds spend most of their free time studying, while geeks make free time so they can play Dungeons and Dragons.
Nerds care what others think of them, but geeks are almost oblivious to the existence of those outside of their geek clan.
Based on all this, I would have to conclude that it is easier to befriend a nerd than a geek, but a geek would probably be a more interesting person.

Get the Geek/Nerd Debatemug. Australia. Appropriate nickname because of its location (below Asia) and the extreme differences between Australia and other continents/countries.
Animals: Koalas, Kangaroos, Echidnas, Platypi (Platypusses?), and Tasmanian Devils are creatures that only inhabit Australia in the wild.
Seasons: Australian summer is most other countries' winter, and vice versa.
Land: Mostly desert and open plains. Probably contains the highest percent of desert of any continent (Antarctica is tundra, not desert).
This would also be a good nickname for Antarctica, which is literally under every continent.

I'm not sure if the Land Down Under has any urban slang, unless you consider "Blimey!" and "mate" to be UrbanSpeak.

Get the Land Down Undermug. Extra-Sensory-Perception. Often referred to as "The sixth Sense". Often used in conversation when one makes a lucky guess as to what someone is about to say.
M.C. Hammer: I want to-
Patrick Surtain: SLEEP!
M.C. Hammer: Hey! I was just going to say that!
Patrick Surtain: I must have ESP!
