Extremely annoying late spring to early summer (and sometimes all summer long) weather phenomenon in coastal Southern California that causes relentless, damp, dreary, miserable weather with drizzle and fog for weeks without end at the beaches. It sometimes spreads into the mountains. This shocks tourists who come to 'sunny Southern California' to instead find themselves in Alaska. It spoils beach days a'plenty and for most locals is the most dreaded time of the year. Number 1 cause for Seasonal Affective Disorder in Southern California. A.k.a. May Gray.
Tourist from East Coast: We're going to sunny Southern California to celebrate Memorial Day and the start of summer.
(Tourist arrives in San Diego)
Tourist: What's up with this stupid weather. Where is the sun?
Local: This is our June Gloom. We've just entered into winter in San Diego. You'll be very lucky if you see the sun at all the next month.

Get the June Gloommug. English inproficient people, most of who are from China and India, that you must call when you are experiencing errors that make a software product unusable. If you can get a person that can speak some slight resemblance of the English language, consider yourself very lucky. Even then 99% percent of the time they will not be of any help whatsoever, and cause further confusion and even more errors.

Get the tech suckportmug. A device which insecure people waste money on because they are afraid their sacred, shiny cars will be stolen. Since about 99.9% of car alarms are false alarms, however, the owners eventually forget why they got the alarm in the first place, and get used to their cars crying wolf after a few occurrences.
Occasionally this will encourage angry neighbors to do whatever they can to put themselves and these useless devices out of their misery. This may include vandalizing the offending cars until they can disarm the screeching, honking, blaring whiners. Therefore, car alarms actually lead to more damage than good, and are one of the most foolish inventions in the history of mankind.

Therefore, car alarms actually lead to more damage than good, and are one of the most foolish inventions in the history of mankind.
For the fiftieth time in two weeks, the car alarm went off triggered by a bird who perched itself on the trunk, which caused a neighbor to get a baton and whack the offending automobile until he was able to get to the alarm and break it in two. Five minutes later, as the commercial break arrived during the action thriller movie, the car owner came out. Suddenly he realized that the alarm he had originally came to stop was no longer blaring away. He then saw the damage to his precious luxury and fainted.

Get the sucking streakmug. USSA stands for Union of Socialist States of America. It's what the United States will become if the progressives take full control of all 3 branches of the government.
Progressive: I hate America. I hate capitalism. We need to become like the USSR.
Republican: No we cannot let that happen, we cannot become socialist. We cannot become the USSA. Most of the people will suffer. Look at Venezuela.
Progressive: You racist bigot. You climate change denier. You need to be locked up for your beliefs. Equality for everyone, even if it means giving up your hard earned money to people who don't want to work. It's USSA or we all die from global warming.

Get the USSAmug. A hypocritical Democrat or liberal. They became quite noticeable after their dear, sweet scandal-plagued Hillary lost the 2016 Presidential election to Donald Trump. Despite their claims to be tolerant of all people, they hate Trump with a passion and will never accept him as President. Some of them also hate all conservatives. They are blind to their own faults as well as those of Obama and Hillary. They believe Hillary is entitled to be President just because she is a woman.
Example 1
Hillary: (To Trump) If I win and you refuse to accept the election results, that is an unprecedented threat to Democracy.
Democrite: I fully agree with her statement.
(After Hillary loses)
Democrite: (E-Mail to red state Electoral College member) Hillary won the popular vote. You better vote for Hillary or I will kill you.
Example 2
Democrite: Hillary was treated unfairly by the media before the election.
Republican: Are you kidding me? The pro Clinton media made Trump the devil and dismissed nearly every bad thing about Hillary. She was a horrible candidate.
Democrite: That is not true. Russian hacking cost her the election.
Example 3
Democrite: How could you vote for Trump, you racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic bigot?
Republican: I am not a bigot. Hillary committed crimes which the media would not mention.
Democrite: That's a lie. She loves all kinds of people. Love Trumps hate.
Repubilican: She also supports the murder of unborn babies.
Democrite: An unborn baby is not a person, stupid.
Republican: You wouldn't be here today if your mother aborted you.
Hillary: (To Trump) If I win and you refuse to accept the election results, that is an unprecedented threat to Democracy.

Get the Democritemug. A process in which arrogant recruiters deny themselves the benefits of many talented, capable, candidates due to an unfair screening process that in absolutely no way reflects the everyday job situation or assesses the skills required to succeed.
A talented person who had produced major growth in his previous company and had 5 years of experience in C# got a rejection after a job interview in which the recruiter said he was not skilled enough to do the job. This was because they asked questions on language concepts that are rarely used in C# and gave a brainteaser algorithm to code up in a 15 minute time limit without a compiler or computer.
