coon 

An affectionate name for a Maine Coon cat.

I adopted what I thought was a grown, neutered cat, but when I brought him to the vet for a checkup, I found out he was a 6-month-old, unneutered kitten. Needless to say, he grew to be a 20-pound monster because he was a coon and I didn't know it.

TWA 

Trouble With Authority. Said of a chronically rebellious person.

This kid is said to have ODD, or Oppositional Defiant Disorder. That's just a fancy-schmancy way of saying the brat has TWA!

clean 

Without any tatoos or body piercings, except maybe for pierced ears.

Even though my friends have tattoos and body piercings, I choose to remain clean. I don't want to get something on my skin I may not want to keep when I get old.

grow some ovaries 

To behave more courageously and/or maturely: to behave like a grown woman as opposed to acting like a little girl. The female equivalent of grow some balls or grow a pair.

Evil right-wing bitch Ann Coulter should grow some ovaries and make amends to Democrats she slanders instead of writing libelous books accusing liberals (read: any civilized human being) of her own wrongdoings. BTA, she probably wasn't born with ovaries.

poof out 

To sneak out of the house without your fellow household members knowing where you are, and not leave your loved ones any way of contacting you.

You forever poof out on us, so I might have to file a missing persons report.

I checked the kid's room in the morning only to find out he poofed out in the middle of the night.

Election year moderate 

A politician, usually an ultraconservative, fascist Republican, but occasionally an ultraliberal, who pretends to take moderate positions on important political issues during an election year. Once elected, this politician will suddenly forget his or her campaign promises and govern from the fringes.

Election year moderates from the far right: Rick Santorum (latin for Asshole); George W. Bush; from the far left: George McGovern (1972)

Dixiecon 

A white, largely Southern, social conservative opposed to social progress, civil rights for nonwhites, and political equality. They were the old Dixiecrats who have switched to the Republican party. They're now also known as Dixiecans.
Characteristics of a Dixiecon include: overt or thinly veiled white supremacy; in-your-face sexism; an outward show of patriotism by flag waving while at the same time evading taxes and military service; religous fundamentalism; and (active or passive) allegiance with white supremacist hate groups, better known as domestic terrorist organizations.

Dixiecons have this country held hostage to their small-minded, redneck views. They're trying to pass unconstitutional voting laws requiring photo ID. They claim it will reduce voter fraud (read: large minority turnout), but in fact, it's designed to keep poor people, especially the elderly, disabled, and minorites, from voting out the Dixiecon mafia.
