(n) Appellation many Puerto Ricans prefer as a matter of ethnic pride. “Boricua” was the name Puerto Rico’s indigenous Indians, the Taino, gave to their island. The term means “valiant people.” (The Puerto Rican national anthem is "La Borinqueña." Other spellings are: Boriquén, Borinquen, or Borinquén).
Boricua College is a non-traditional four year institution started in New York in 1973. The college has 1200 mostly low income students on its campuses in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

sound bite

(n) A short, catchy statement meeting the short attention requirements of TV news. Sound bites have the annoying habit of being play again and again ad nauseum. In fact, newscasts are increasingly built around sound bites instead of hard news and analysis. And public relations firms earn huge bucks cooking up sound bites for political spin and damage control.
One memorable sound bite (1984 Debate) from Vice Presidential candidate Lloyd Bensten countering Dan Quayle's comparision of himself to President John Kennedy.

Bensten: "I knew Jack Kennedy. He was a friend of mine. You are no Jack Kennedy."

gerbilling 

(vb) An imagined act, (obviously homophobic in origin) in which people (presumably gay men) engage in sexual thrills by inserting a live de-clawed gerbil into the anus of the other person (by the means of a tube). Urban legend asserts the frantic movement of the poor furry creature trying to escape causes sexual stimulation. Although the rumors of this practice have been around since the early 1980s, with thousands of Google references to this, not one documented case of the practice exists. Reference to "gerbilling" is nearly always done with knowledge that the tale is false; it is simply a malicious and hostile disparagement of gay people.
Out of all the internet references swearing to the veracity of gerbilling, it is telling that in almost instances, purveyors of the rumors are

>>>anonymous<<<

Anonoynmous peddling of trashy rumors meant to disparage is really chickenshit. It is about the lowest thing a person can do. (This entry is NOT ANONYNOMOUS -- if you have a problem with it, please feel free to contact me.)
