Get the Gakking mug.Mushary - also known as bush-riding - is the act of intentionally jumping into a bush or shrubbery - preferably head-first, and typically whilst wearing a boiler suit.
This is done for the purpose of eliciting laughs or causing a scene and is widely documented and distributed on YouTube.
The word itself is a portmanteau of "Bush", "Shrubbery" and "Manchuria" - the site of a war in which soldiers were known to jump with abandon into trenches so as to escape gunfire.
Mushary is of course a much more frivolous past time.
A particularly successful act of Mushary will result in the sight of a rigid body sticking halfway out of a thick hedge, feet pointing towards the sky. The absurdity is the point.
Some enthusiasts might claim that it is a form of anti-capitalist, anti-authoritarian protest, but there is no such formal organization.

Get the Mushary mug.A Facebook group that exists mainly for the purpose of tagging it in a discussion thread as a form of meme communication.
For example, one of the earliest Tag Groups on Facebook was, 'This isn't an airport, no need to announce your departure", which was born from the phenomenon of people who found it necessary to write a post about how they were mad and leaving a group. At which point, someone in the thread who knew about the tag group would put it on the discussion, prompting a laugh.
When you tag a group like that, Facebook puts the name of the group in bold, thus emphasizing its visual impact.
Therefore, users have added thousands and thousands of hilariously specific phrases as groups to the platform, giving the user lots of options of things to say in bold characters.
The bold name of the group is also a clickable link that takes you to the group, prompting more members and thus more taggers.
As mentioned before, the tag group mainly exists as a means for creating highlighted text in a discussion thread, however, some tag groups do become places of activity themselves.
For example, with "This is not an airport...", members who join the group will use it as a tag group, but then also screenshot hilarious examples of people rage-quitting other groups, and add it to the discussion timeline in the group for other members to enjoy and laugh at.

Get the Bet The House mug.A chinger is a telephone fraud device that mimics the frequency made by a pay telephone when money was dropped into it. Putting money in the coin slot caused a DTMF or Dual Tone Multi Frequency signal to be sent out to the central switching box which registered it and when enough money had been inserted into the phone would connect the call. The chinger could mimic that sound and thus produce the equivalent effect of dropping a quarter into the pay phone.
So basically, a chinger allowed the user to make unlimited free calls from certain pay phones. They could be made using a simple pocket electronic address book sold at Radio Shack, and replacing the chip inside to alter the output sound.
They were also known as "red boxes" but the name chinger probably referred to the chiming sound it made when mimicing a quarter drop.
Most modern pay phones no longer use the DTMF tones, rendering the chinger obsolete... but it was fun while it lasted!

Get the chinger mug.The point of this entry should really be this: That the word "Cannabis" is not slang at all. Instead it is the accepted botanical Genus name for the plant we know by so many other slang and colloquial terms: Hemp, Pot, Marijuana, Ganja, Weed, etc. etc. (Cannabis sps. sativa, indica, and ruderalis.)
Let the word Cannabis remind us that this indigenous herb, which the self-destructive dominator culture feels it needs to persecute so much, is in fact one of the many gifts from the abundant Earth... as natural as the clouds, the rain, the corn in the fields and all the many fruits of our gracious intelligent, and loving planet, Gaia.
