n. Juan Domingo Perón was an Argentine military officer and politician. After serving in several government positions, including those of Minister of Labour and Vice President of the Republic, he was three times elected as President of Argentina, serving from June 1946 to September 1955, when he was overthrown by a coup d'état, and from October 1973 to July 1974. During his first presidential term (1946-1952), Perón was supported by his second wife, Eva Duarte ("Evita"), and the two were immensely popular among many Argentines. Eva died in 1952, and Perón was elected to a second term, serving from 1952 until 1955. Juan and Evita Perón are still considered icons by the Peronists. The Peróns' followers praised their efforts to eliminate poverty and to dignify labor, while their detractors considered them demagogues and dictators.
Juan and Eva Peron gave their name to the political movement known as Peronism, which in present-day Argentina is represented mainly by the Justicialist Party. The current (as of 2013) President of Argentina, Cristina Elisabet Fernández de Kirchner, is a Justicialist. Critics of Kirchner's administration charged it with corruption, crony capitalism, falsification of public statistics, harassment of Argentina's independent media, and use of the tax agency as a censorship tool, all of which should sound very familiar to observers of the Obama Administration.

Get the Peronmug. n. In Baltimoron, this refers to the road that runs through Baltimore, connecting it to the town of Bel Air, MD. The road is US Route 1, and within the city limits north of North Avenue, it is named "Belair Road." As there is no space between "Bel" and Air, Baltimorons pronounce it "B'lair Roed."

Get the B'lair Roedmug. 1. n. A mixed drink. Numerous recipes exist for an orgasm and its variants. Nearly all recipes involve mixing Bailey's Irish Cream with some other liqueur. Recipes also vary names: multiple orgasm, screaming orgasm, screaming multiple orgasm, mutual orgasm, chocolate orgasm, tropical orgasm, bleeding orgasm, orgasmic fantasy, black orgasm, dirty orgasm, kinky orgasm, more orgasms, screaming white orgasm, and of course the screaming multiple orgasm on the beach. Here's my favorite recipe:
Screaming Orgasm:
1 shot Bailey's Irish Cream
1 shot Malibu coconut rum
Pour liqueurs into cocktail shaker. Stir with cube ice. Strain liqueurs into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a marchino cherry. Can be additionally garnished with a condom if you're sufficiently tacky and disgusting.
All orgasm recipes are very tasty!

Get the Orgasmmug. Looks like there's a need something better for SOA....
n. In computing, a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a flexible set of design principles used during the phases of systems development and integration. A deployed SOA-based architecture will provide a loosely-integrated suite of services that can be used within multiple business domains.
SOA also generally provides a way for consumers of services, such as web-based applications, to be aware of available SOA-based services. For example, several disparate departments within a company may develop and deploy SOA services in different implementation languages; their respective clients will benefit from a well understood, well defined interface to access them. XML is commonly used for interfacing with SOA services, though this is not required.
Service-orientation requires loose coupling of services with operating systems, and other technologies that underlie applications. SOA separates functions into distinct units, or services, which developers make accessible over a network in order to allow users to combine and reuse them in the production of applications. These services and their corresponding consumers communicate with each other by passing data in a well-defined, shared format, or by coordinating an activity between two or more services.

SOA developers associate individual SOA objects by using orchestration. In the process of orchestration the developer associates software functionality (the services) in a non-hierarchical arrangement using a software tool that contains a complete list of all available services, their characteristics, and the means to build an application utilizing these sources.

Get the SOAmug. n. A mixed drink, similar in taste to a mudslide, but with remarkable marchino cherry tones, even though it has no marchino cherries. Very tasty! Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
2 shots Bailey's Irish Cream
1 shot Amaretto
1/2 cup Half-and-half
6 Ice cubes
Mixing instructions:
Add above ingrediants in a blender. Blend on high until the ice is crushed. Serve in a cocktail glass. No garnish.
A variation of the drink is called the Spunky Monkey. For those who don't like cherry at all, but do like coffee, replace the Bailey's Irish Cream with Kahlua. Also very tasty!

Get the Spunky Orangutanmug. n. Crony capitalism is a colloquial term describing a "market economy" in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism to connected businesses in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, and so forth. This favoritism is rewarded by campaign contributions or outright kickbacks to politicians or their supporters. As such, it creates an oxymoron of sorts, in that success of a business in a free market (capitalism) does not depend on free-market forces. It is also a obvious source of corruption of both business and government.
In the United States, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are examples of Crony Capitalism. Government backing let Fannie and Freddie dominate mortgage underwriting. The politicians created the mortgage giants, which then returned some of the profits to the politicians - sometimes directly, as campaign funds; sometimes as "contributions" to favored constituents.

Get the Crony Capitalismmug. 1. n. Vile, evil ruler of China from the end of WWII to the early 1970's. Killed millions of his own people with forced collectivization of agriculture, the "Great Leap Forward," and most of all with the power-restoration maneuver resulting from the famine created by Great Leap Forward known as the "Cultural Revolution." Faclitated a transfer of power to a group of even more evil people called the Gang of Four that included his wife. The tyrant can be considered on equal footing with the next definition.
2. n. The excrement of Microtus pennsylvanicus. You guessed it, its "mousie dung."
