freshman

The now politically-incorrect term for a first year student.

My college refers to freshmen as "first year students" but still uses sophomore, junior and senior. One of my professors listed it as "freshperson" on a survey. I have also seen "freshman/woman" used as well.

1. When a country does something on its own that affects the entire world with no help or support from any other country, such as go to war.

2. When America does something on its own that affects the entire world with the help and support of Afghanistan, Albania, Australia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Colombia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, El Salvador, Eritrea, Estonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, Uzbekistan, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Honduras, Kuwait, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Mongolia, Palau, Portugal, Rwanda, Singapore, Solomon Islands, and Uganda, such as go to war.

Does that look very unilateral to you? If it does, then you might be brainwashed.

I've fallen and I can't get up

A really annoying catchphrase from the late 80's/early 90's that originated from a commercial for a paramedical emergency radio for the elderly. During the commercial, and old lady falls off her walker and in the most pathetic tone of voice possible, utters this phrase into the advertised device.

Before everyone and their mom was screaming "I'm Rick James, bitch" they were screaming "I've fallen and I can't get up" in a sad attempt to be funny and witty.

gmail

A service from Google that is NOT a joke. In fact, yahoo! just increased their e-mail services to store 100 megs on each account just to compete.

I g-mailed an entire album to myself and still had 300 megs of space remaining.

socialist

A selfish, lazy and uneducated individual who believes the governmemt should help them at the expense of ambitious and sucessful people. Usually will claim to want to help all the poor, downtrodden people, but is in reality only interested in his/her self-interest, just like absolutely all people.

If someone you know claims to be a socialist, then do the right thing and help them enroll in a basic macro-economics course.
