Randy Michaels

A fat disgusting pig of a human who hates music and enjoys destroying great music stations for his own financial gain. Current CEO of Merlin Media and former CEO of Chicago-based Tribune Co. Michaels became public enemy number one in Chicago in June 2011 after it was announced he had purchased alternative radio station Q101 and planned to turn it into a news/talk station. The station's staff was let go on July 14th and the station became a news station later that month.

"My favorite radio format has always been spoken radio"

"As music moves to the ipod, it's time for news radio to move to FM"
-both quotes from Randy Michaels, who is one of the most hated men in Chicago

Bureau of Morality

A fictional organization from the alternate reality game to the Nine Inch Nails Album Year Zero. The purpose of the Bureau is to keep citizens in line and make sure they aren't doing anything they consider "un-american" such as expressing dissapointment with the government. Extreme punishments are handed down to people who do break their laws and use their voice.

Our schoolboard's really become the Bureau of Morality, it sucks!

Tea Party Movement

A political action movement started by right-wing nutcases like Sarah Palin filled with greed and a refusal to share, treat others the way one would want to be treated, or follow any of that stuff people are supposed to learn in kindergarten.

Democrat: Look I'm sure we can find a way to work out financial differences here.

Tea party movement supporter: NO! I DON'T WANT TO WORK OUT ANYTHING!! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT! MINE! MINE! MINE! MINE!

Democrat: Maybe all you need is a pair of pants you didn't piss in I guess.

Channel Drifting

When a TV channel starts airing programs that are different from what the name of the channel suggests or programming the channel has shown in the past. Channels that exhibit channel drifting tend to shift away from past programming, often acting like it never even existed.

Examples include MTV, Cartoon Network, and TLC.

Channel drifting is often very unpopular with a network's longtime viewers. Of all the people who watched Cartoon Network 10-15 years ago, how many of those people do you think still watch it?

withdrawn course

College term for a class that gets cancelled for a semester due to insufficient enrollment by the semester's start date.

This does not mean the college has removed the class altogether. They still plan to offer it in the future starting the next semester (assuming they meet the minimum required enrollment by the specified date).

Greg: So how's music theory going?

Tom: It became a withdrawn course after only five students signed up for it. I'll just try again next semester.

Wheatley

Note: It's only fair to point out this article may contain spoilers.

Character from the video game Portal 2. Helps you through the first part of the game to the point where you remove Glados from power. At that point he betrays you and sends you to the abandoned part of Apeture Science, forcing you to form a partnership with Glados to stop him.

Wheatley nearly kills Chell and Glados so many times it's not even funny.
