anal crap
What is known by English teachers as an oxymoron, i.e. a word which is qualified by a second word, an adjective, which is completely redundant (adds nothing new to the meaning of the first word). Crap is by definition anal, unless it comes from the mouth-crapping aliens on the planet XAARFQTYSHAJK!LP.
Nevertheless, saying two swear words is always better than saying one for releasing tension, so "anal crap" is perfectly legitimate, whatever those fucking english teachers say.

Dearing Report
An entirely fictional account written by a senile drunk old man bribed by the government to write this bullshit about higher education. As made-up as Harry Potter but less fun.
Includes absurd claims such as that charging students over the moon to study will encourage more people to go to university, that the threat of being millions of pounds in debt doesn't stop poor people studying, and that students in ten years time will ride to university on the backs of flying pigs.

John Rawls
Political theorist who believes that it is so important to live in a peaceful, tolerant society that all the people who don't agree with his theory of society should be shot.
Somebody who thinks that stringing together the same six phrases made up of different combinations of the same eight words, in a number of different combinations, constitutes a coherent argument.
Inventor of the phrase, "be reasonable, do it my way".

Who killed Farhad Usmanov?
This strangely unqualified question has appeared in sticker, placard and graffiti form all over the place, prompting many to wonder.
The correct answer is Islam Karimov, president of Uzbekistan. Farhad Usmanov is a human rights cause celebre in Uzbekistan because his is the most blatant and the most widely protested of many cases of murder of political opponents by the Uzbek regime.
The stickers etc. seem to be the handiwork of the Muslim fundamentalist group Hizb-ut Tahrir, an insidious organisation committed to human rights violations of other kinds (against Jews, gays, women, etc.), but who object to attacks on fellow Islamists and who therefore have a lot of gripes with the Uzbek government. This government is particularly keen on killing Islamists because they happen to be the main opposition force in the country. Farhad was the son of a cleric.

Autobot
Heroic TransFormer, a member of the original good faction in TransFormers Generation 1 and several subsequent series. (Known as Seibertons or Cybertrons in Japan, and renamed as Maximals for Beast Wars).
Most Autobots transform into cars and land-based vehicles. Diverse in personality, they are usually given "human" traits in their various depictions (fallible, open to error, with personality differences, etc.). Their political economy is based on generosity and on protecting others, especially the weak. As an army, they seem to have been set up solely to fight the Decepticons, who pre-existed them as a fighting force.
The Autobot insignia is a red head, which looks quite like the head of the Autobot Jazz. In the cartoons, Autobots always fire red laser bolts, distinguishable from the Decepticons' purple bolts.
The Autobots nearly always win, usually because of the Decepticons' arrogance and stupidity, despite their usual inferior starting position (itself pretty strange since Autobot toys and named characters have always outnumbered their Decepticon counterparts). This gives a "moral" dimension to TransFormers stories.
Initially led by Optimus Prime, a strong-willed and steadfast yet also self-questioning and insecure Autobot who transformed into a lorry cab. Later led by a number of characters including Rodimus Prime, Ultra Magnus and Fortress Maximus.
Eventually won the war on Earth (where both sides had crashed), apparently due to their cooperation with humans. Were attempting to re-take Cybertron (long a Decepticon preserve) when Unicron struck in Transformers: The Movie. Later took over and rejuvenated Cybertron in series 3 (and after, in Japan) of the cartoon, although in the comics, the war on Cybertron continues indefinitely. (One obscure comic strip in an annual depicts the Autobots eventually winning the war, only to start fighting one another over who was to rule the spoils... hardly in character for the Autobots, probably written by a Hobbesian).
