n. Derogatory nick-name for the Maryland State Correctional System Work Release Program, also known as the Baltimore Ravens. The name can also be in reference to the puerile, quick-tempered, and monumentally mean-and-nasty fans of the above. Ratbirds fans don't really like the Ravens; they just hate the rest of the NFL, and are nototious bandwagon fans.
That Ratbird fan just stole my little girl's terrible towel and wiped his butt with it! And to think they accuse Stillers fans of being rude. Ratbirds fans are a real piece-of-work!

n. Literally, "the rule of thugs." While brutality is a key element of any tyranny, a trauponcracy not only is run with brutality, but incompetence and demagoguery as well. I can also include plundering wealth to bribe the masses.
There is a thin line between trauponcracy and incompetocracy.

n. Nickname of Hall of Fame Middle Linebacker Jack Lambert of the Pittsburgh Steelers of the 70's and 80's. Due to a basketball (or weightlifting) accident (reports differ), his upper incisors were knocked out, so his upper canines appeared to be very large, not unlike Count Dracula's. At first, he wore dentures while playing. Eventually, he realized his visage without dentures (downright monstrous) matched his play, and added to his abilities in intimidating opposing offenses. His intensity and intimidation are a bit of contrast to the cerebral play of team-mate and fellow HOFer Jack Ham, aka "Dobre Shunka."

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.

Jeez-o-man! The Stillers dom'nated, but lost, n'at! Barkeep, I need to get drownded in an Imp 'n' Ahn!
Translation: Golly! (or other expression of exasperation). The Pittsburgh Steelers lost another game like they did when they played Houston, limited them to 45 yards of total offense, and lost! Bartender, I need to drown my sorrows in a Iron City Beer & Imperial Whiskey Depth Charge.
