(n.) One brand of Social Justice Warrior, who has chosen dogs (or, "furbabies" as they call them) as the subject of their mission.
You will often find furmoms on social media and Nextdoor railing at other dog owners about how you "should" take care of dogs.
Their main motto is "Adopt don't Shop", implying that nobody should ever buy a dog from a breeder, but should rescue dogs from shelters instead. As such, they are fully against pure breeds, and typically refer to breeders as"greeders."
But their main pastime is spending time on Facebook, admonishing other dog owners about how they're doing it. Whether it's shaming owners for walking without a leash, buying a pure bred dog, using tools such as choke chains or bark collars, or any other behavior that in any way recognizes that dogs are animals, not people.
Furmoms are also fervent Pit Bull advocates and will freak out if you so much as imply that Pit Bulls (which they like to call "Pibbles") tend to be more aggressive and prone to biting than other breeds. Their main tool in this mission is to post photos of their very well-loved Pit Bull sleeping peacefully in their home and giving the photo some passive aggressive captions such as, "look at this terrifying killer."
Basically, Furmoms have nothing else going on in their life other than their dog and will always be there to give you their unsolicited opinions.

Some new-age bullshit interpretation of the Mayan calendar by a nit-wit named Jose Arguellas who thinks he's an incarnation of an ancient Mayan prophet or some shit. Basically he has a bunch of ignorant hippies thinking that the Mayans were cosmic alien galactic travelers and that the end of the world is coming in 2012. *sigh* When will people learn?
Hippie #1) What is your Dreamspell galactic signature?
Hippie #2) Blue Magnetic Eagle
Skeptic #1) Hey you air heads - you realize the Mayans never used that new age mumbo-jumbo terminology right?

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!

(v.) To leave. But more specifically, to leave abruptly in a childish huff - often accompanied by a self-indulgent speech about how everyone around the "leaber" made them do it.
