What happens when a bunch of quacks call other quacks quacks. The noise that results from a bunch of charlatans, delusionals, new agers or alt.medicine folks labelling others of the same ilk frauds and confidence tricksters, unlike themselves because they are the genuine and guaranteed real thing. "Should see the quackophony that's online about liquid zeolite 'miracle' cancer cures."

| 58. | McCutchan | ||
|
A term used in consideration when labelling someone as being sleazy, slutty, whore-ish. The term applies to the male only. God, that guy has hit on everyone tonight, what a McCutchan.
Urgh, get your hands off me, what are you? A McCutchan?! He dumped me, and is now going out with my best friend and he cheated on her while we were together, he's the biggest McCutchan! |

Prehistoric rocker.
Before depression, drainpipes and emo, there was light-heartedness, baggy jeans and moshers. These were people who listened to a wide variety of rock music, but weren't particularly interested in fashion. Playing guitar out of genuine interest and skateboarding among teenage moshers was very common, unlike today, where many are too self-conscious to attempt any sport activity. Attire can include anything from casual everyday wear, to So-Cal statements such as dickies shorts and high socks a-la Blink 182, to baggy hoodies and jeans, often with chains attached. Skinny jeans had not yet been invented. Genuinely want to have a good time whilst moshing and headbanging in the 'mosh pit', hence where the word 'mosher' originated. Generally open-minded, fun, and nice people, always up for a party, often have many 'mosher' friends. Are indifferent to dirt and greasiness. Hate labelling or stereotypes. Only known enemies are jerks, chavs, neds and council estate working class pyromaniacs. Most popular from the early-mid 1990's to early 2000's. Extinct by about 2002. Chav: 'See that mosher, mate! F*ckin' goth freak, like! Oi, turn around before I break you're f*ckin' jaw with me kappas, like!'

NIMBY is the natural phenomenon of being TERRITORIAL. Short for 'not in my backyard', Nimby is used to describe residents who oppose property development near where they live. A popular tactical tool, the word NIMBY is often used by property developers, supporters of same and pro development government decision makers in an attempt to destroy public support for residents, labelling those who oppose new developments within their own residential locality as selfish and subculture. However, NIMBY, the art of being territoral has been practiced by most living creatures big or small since nature created them to present day. NIMBY

| 62. | Indie Guys Style | ||
|
This is thrown around alot and to be fair indie style isnt really something that you can clearly define. Indie guys generally wear clothing that wouldn't have been out of place in your grandads wardrobe. The whole idea about being indie is that you dont try to look trendy. Indie guys are normaly 21+ and pretty much reminisce of the old days of blur and the longpigs however they are always on the look out for new bands and will be the ones hanging out watching unsigned bands and new talent. Think mumford and sons and where's strutter for new indie talent. Its easy to pick out the wannabees and "followers" of indie they will be the ones wearing cardigans and wearing converse using the NME to scout for new music. Indie has changed direction in an effort to hit back at the mainstream labelling and copying of the style by pretty much anyone who wanted to seem cool. Indie guys generally do not like to see people wearing the same sorts of clothing as them but a few common items in a indie guys wardrobe are as follows Pumps that cost less than a fiver Jeans (skinnies and straight leg are still a favorite) Checked shirts (Mainly long sleeved) Leather Jacket or "Kasabian style military jacket" Also the indie scene has taken to wearing flat caps more than the trilby now. The indie guys style is evident in bands such as mumford and sons (they are blue grass but the indie scene does have a tendancy to be able to cross barriers... hence it being called indie (indipendant thinking) ) and kasabian.

When a douche attempts to offend another person by labelling them a douche (typically over the internet), yet fails miserably in spelling their attack correctly. Cool person: Your mom was pretty fucking good last night.
Douche: Shut uppppp, your such a douceh :( |
