gook

A racial slur for East and Southeast Asians; essentially the equivalent of the n-word. First used in the Philippine-American War, it was used as a term for enemy combatants before repeated and widespread use in Asian wars (namely the Korean and Vietnam Wars) made it a racial slur. In the USA, it is more commonly - but not exclusively - directed at the Vietnamese. Often erroneously thought to have originated in the Korean War after soldiers misheard "mi-guk" (Korean for America) as "me gook"; use of the word "gook" dates back to the late 19th or early 20th century.

White supremacist hater: "Send them niggers and gooks back to where they came!"

Oregon Trail generation

Americans born during the Generation X and Generation Y (Millennial) overlap, generally 1977-1983. They can either be viewed as tail-end Generation Xers or very early Millennials, but some members prefer to be addressed as neither. Named after The Oregon Trail, an educational computer game fondly remembered by many born during these years. Also known as Xennials or Generation Catalano.

Person 1: "Are you a Millennial or Generation Xer?"
Person born in 1981: I'm part of the Oregon Trail generation.

argumentum ad dictionarium

Using a language dictionary to argue your points, to justify your actions, and/or to claim that all uses of a given word outside of a given dictionary are incorrect. Fallacious as English dictionaries do not prescribe usage, but merely describe how words are used by society.

Person 1: Stop treating your 35 year old son like a child. He's not a child anymore.
Person 2: But the dictionary says so. *pulls out Oxford* A child is "a son or daughter of any age". My 35 year old is my son, therefore he is a child. That means my 35 year old is not ready to watch anything but G rated movies, cannot drink beer, must obey my commands at all times, isn't old enough for a job, and...
Person 1: Classic argumentum ad dictionarium.
