One of the most misunderstood people in the working world, from a white-collar workers point of view. Many are mechanics, electricians, and other technicians making $30-$40 an hour for jobs that most non-union employees would otherwise pay only half that much. Many union employers are those that reel you in and just let you go during the probationary period, even if you prove yourself hardworking and competent, but will keep the lazy and incompetent, just because they are friends with management or well-liked. If you have a blue-collar trade or skill, want to make a good wage, just want to put in a good 8 hours work a day, and no intention of trying to climb the corporate ladder, a union job is well-suited for you. And yes, many union workers are lazy shitbags that take numerous breaks and complain about everything, but there are many others that are honest, hardworking, and dedicated to their jobs. The union reps, with the backup of politicians and the mafia, are the ones who keep things going for the common working man. Many Republicans and conservatives dislike unions because they believe good money should be earned though merit and hard work and that anybody that does not have a college degree and works a skilled trade deserves just enough money to keep themselves fed and a roof over their head

A very dismissive and tired catchphrase only a year old used on social media with memes by the unsocial and smartphone-addicted Generation Z that have no interest in associating with or listening to old people (over 40) or how things used to be, even though today’s Boomers are all between 60 and 80 today. The phrase has been a success at offending older folks on social media wanting their voices heard and respect.
Boomer: When I was growing up, we were outside all day. We drank out of the water hose, rode our bikes all over the neighborhood, and didn’t come home until the street lights came on.
Z’er: OK Boomer!

A term many native Texans and southerners regardless of background use to describe people mostly from the upper Midwest and especially the northeast, usually Maryland and above. The western half of the United States, even far north states like Montana, Washington, and Alaska, are rarely taken into consideration because of their frontier nature and lack of accents. To Texans and southerners, Yankees are viewed as unfriendly, shrewd, indifferent, uppity, blunt, and a threat to their genial, warm, welcoming, and down home culture, which many Yankees view as intruding, a threat to privacy, and fake. Many well to do Yankees have migrated to Florida and Texas as retirement havens.

The byproduct of the late wave Baby Boomer's and early Generation X'ers that didn't beat the hell out of their boys, instill values and principals in them, and man them up. They find drama where there doesn't need to be any. Most usually have black, shaggy hair, a 28 inch waist or smaller, are Caucasian or Oriental, and listen to manufactured music that will be forgotten about in less than a year.

The most entitled, pampered, and civilized branch of the U.S. Armed Forces. Perfect branch of the military to be in for those that want to learn new job skills or have an easy paycheck. Most who've deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan just stayed at a main base working 8 hour days in air conditioned offices and only had to worry about the occasional mortar round coming into their compound. To this day, the officers are still the ones that go out to do most of the fighting.

A small town of about 15,000 located some 40 miles north of Anchorage. If you take away the surrounding snow-capped mountains, it's as if you're in a small town in the Midwestern United States. It's the cheapest place to own a home in the state, but there is a sales tax. The vibe of the town and people is rather sleazy; most of the population are blue-collar in their living conditions and mentality. Many spacious homes with potential to be nice and well-kept have appliances outside and cars propped up on concrete blocks. Drug deals and manufacturing are commonplace, especially methamphetamine. A good quarter of the population or more work on the North Slope and many others commute to Anchorage to work.
