| 1. | Dr. Phil session | ||
|
A serious conversation, usually between male friends, where life problems are discussed and sometimes resolved. A conversation about feelings, very similar to a heart-to-heart conversation, where one person takes the lead in offering advice and attempts to help the other person or people through their problems, sometimes resulting in an emotional breakthrough. A cheaper alternative to celebrity psychologist/t.v. host Dr. Phil McGraw.
Note: It is much easier for men to have a Dr. Phil session, rather than a heart-to-heart conversation, with each other because it is widely seen as being more masculine, and therefore more socially acceptable. Tom: Did Larry tell you about all the problems he's having with his girlfriend? Dave: Yeah, we totally had a Dr. Phil session the other night. |

When someone does not quite "get it" or lacks crucial grey matter inside the cranium, they are a didittada. 1) "That didittada thought Chicken of the Sea really was chicken."
2) "I got a tech support call from a didittada who complained that the internet was broken." |

| 5. | Gobshite | ||
|
Not necessarily a bad thing. A Gobshite, for better or worse, talks incessantly without provocation or purpose and most often without principle. The term Gobshite is Irish in origin, from the old Irish gob, or mouth, and shite, or shit. Shite of the Gob is the primary foundation of the word. It first appeared in print in the “manuscript glossary of US Navy terms” as a word for enlisted men, comparing them to tobacco spit. TheGobshite.com uses the word to capture a wide range of characters. In their first “Gobshite of the Month” they awarded Gary Busey with “Most Amusing” while also awarding Dr. Phil McGraw with “Most Annoying”. They also refer to their staff as Gobshites. Rightly so, a Gobshite for all their yammer can be quite entertaining, and therefore the term may be used as one of endearment. (From TheGobshite.com) … TheGobshite.com’s first ever “Gobshite of the Month” award for “Most Amusing” goes to Gary Busey... If Gobshite was a type of stone than Busey was carved from it. He goes off on unprovoked rants, promotes unfounded (if at all preconceived) conspiracy theories, and gives “advice” in the form of acronyms for virtually every concept entered into the dictionary.

"Your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash," is something TV Dr. Phil McGraw's father said to him as a boy when he would voice wild plans or notions. It means that talk is cheap relative to performance, or that promising something and delivering on it are two different things. A phrase similar in meaning is "Money talks, bullshit walks." . "I'm going to get a job selling fuzzy dice door-to-door. I'll be rich!"
"Boy, your mouth is writing checks your ass can't cash." . |

| 7. | Stuart Snyder | ||
|
President of Cartoon Network from 2007 onward, CEO of Turner from the time of writing. Once worked for Cinar (now called Cookie Jar) animation company, situated in Monteal, Canada, known for a very successful run at children's animation. He has tried to promote anti-bullying campaigns to the point where Dr. Phil McGraw and Anderson Cooper have taken interest in his projects. Snyder's background eventually led Cartoon Network to strike a deal with him after former president, Tim Samples, left due to the infamous Boston Bomb Scare (currently head of HGTV). Snyder seemed right for the position, but others firmly disagree... CONTROVERSY: Snyder's name often acts as a punching bag for older viewers of the network. Snyder's programming once caused disastrous collapse of viewers at Cartoon Network. It is believed he often short-changes any and all ideas brought forth to the channel, has a savage obsession with ratings, and a penchant for live-action exploits. This could stem from the fact he has tried to create a Disney/Nickelodeon level ratings premise. While there is no true confirmation on Snyder's actions in the executive chair, when it comes television shows, he treats them like racehorses. Should they become unable to win the race anymore, he pulls out his shotgun. Toonami, the front-runner for CN, went off the air for good about a year after Snyder came to the network, biting out roughly 25% of viewers. more...
He was highly supportive of Out of Jimmy's Head, the first live action show of CN... Result: Stuart Snyder's phenomenally disastrous concept of CN Real shredded the ratings of CN. Even then, many of the worst programs of the network still remain kicking at the expense of good ones. Lauren Faust, Craig McCracken (husband of Faust), and Genndy Tartakovsky have all left CN after their ideas were shot down. Dozens of other relatively excellent cartoons have not made it out alive after he came to blows with the creators. YouTube users Gohan6425, CommanderThunderush, and Ma221s, seem to hold particular interests toward CN. The first has actively posted videos ranting the network incessantly, the second is strategically building up channel popularity to post a thorough rant for all to see, and the third has posted this video, "WTF Happened to Cartoon Network?!?!," the most popular in terms of the overall attitude by the viewers toward CN. Adult Swim has also lampshaded the network's own actions. Given his background at Cinar, Stuart has occasionally been accussed of trying to remold CN into its mirror image to avoid looking incompetent- he had limited experie... |
