governerd 

A Governerd is a student of US government and democracy with a passion for non-partisan, fact-based learning. Governerds are critical thinkers who engage in open-minded and respectful discussion. They actively listen to understand, are open to diverse views, and seek deeper knowledge about legislative, executive, and judicial matters as well as the Constitution.

Governerds are looking for truth and peace in a political climate that is often fraught with lies and divisive rhetoric. A governerd is committed to facts, not feelings. Governerds are always respectful and kind as they seek to find answers to hard questions. They practice recognizing bias and how to come together to find common ground. They care deeply for fellow citizens, are dedicated to helping others, and collectively turn their pennies into miracles.

Governerds also share an appreciation of whale facts, bald eagles, poorly curated clothing subscription boxes, the Great Lakes, and procrastination chickens.

Governerds originated as students of America's Government Teacher, Sharon McMahon

1) "In Sharon McMahon's latest Government for Grownups lecture about landmark Supreme Court Cases, her fellow Governerds engaged in respectful discussion in order to listen, learn, and better understand the Court's rulings."
2) "As a Governerd, I'm committed to facts, not feelings."
3) "Any Governerd will tell you: Facts do not require your approval."

Chat blimey, get governered. 

A postmodern take on the work of the great twitterati, Jamie Vardy. It adds a uniquely British twist to a classic intimidation.

Did you hear how Archie got hit in Malia after telling the promoter you'll work for me some day?
Man was talking bare shit, chat blimey, get governered.

"To be GOVERNED is to be watched, inspected, spied upon, directed, law-driven, numbered, regulated, enrolled, indoctrinated, preached at, controlled, checked, estimated, valued, censured, commanded, by creatures who have neither the right nor the wisdom nor the virtue to do so. To be GOVERNED is to be at every operation, at every transaction noted, registered, counted, taxed, stamped, measured, numbered, assessed, licensed, authorized, admonished, prevented, forbidden, reformed, corrected, punished. It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be placed under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harrassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed, and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored. That is government; that is its justice; that is its morality."

--Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it..."

governerd 

A nerd of a particular variety: one that is well versed in politics and government. They find great joy in watching the news, hearing debates and knowing about local government leaders and foreign policies.

Angela is SUCH a governerd, she just told me "Today the new congress is getting sworn in! I am so excited!"

gover-nerds 

Students who live in Governors Dorm at the University at Buffalo. Mostly they live in Roosevelt, and are freshman. So called because it is the honors dorm and full of smart kids. Mostly they love studying, video games (Smash Brothers and Halo), reading, not partying, and they don't normally like the opposite sex. They don't party have high GPAS take honors classes and are usually thought of as "Dorks". However their are some normal kids in governors, but few and far between

gover-nerds:"No i cant, i have to study and read ancient Chinese poetry, then play halo for 6 hours."

Governer 

A term for a really fat kid who has bad facial hair and plays Yu-Gi-Oh. They are commonly seen in highschools and are known to wear really hideous clothing. Oh, and they're really loud and drive ugly ass crappy white cars. Falls in love with fat ugly chicks over the internet and calls them his girlfriend.

I wish that that Governer would shut the fuck up because he's so loud, fat and annoying.

Hey look! It's a Governer, oh my god I just puked a little in my mouth.

Oh man that Governer is so big he can't fit through the cafeteria door.
