Steam-Clavined

The phenomenon of playing a game on Steam and either getting killed or missing vital information due to Steam blocking out the bottom-right corner of the game to tell you that a friend has logged into a different game. Named for mailman Cliff Clavin from the TV show "Cheers," who often spouted useless, wrong, and/or unwanted trivia to the annoyance of the people around him.
"FUCK, I'm dead! I would've SEEN that landmine if I weren't being Steam-Clavined just then!"

Dartmouth

A small town in Southeastern Massachusetts known for....nothing. Most anybody worth a damn leaves afer high school, although sometimes they visit to see how all the dumbass football players are doing in they crappy minimum-wage jobs.

That said, there is some excellent fishing in the area, so some cool people stay in town for that reason.
Man, Dartmouth sucks. I can't wait to get out of this town.

Steve: Hey Dave I haven't seen you since high school, man. what's up?
Dave: Fuck off Steve. I'm just in Dartmouth to see my mom and the two cool people who stayed here after graduation. If you weren't such a prick in high school, I might feel bad about laughing at you for still living in this crappy town. HAHAHAHA...enjoy working at Old Navy for the rest of your miserable life, sucker! HAHAHAHAHA!

States' Rights

1) A reference to the 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

2) A code word that politicians use to signal to racists that they too, are racist. Used in the past to signal that you support segregation and Jim Crow laws.
When Strom Thurmond said he believed in State's Rights, he really meant that he wanted to keep segregation legal in the South.

If you believe in States' Rights but want to pass the Constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, you are a hypocrite.

Lincoln Lover

Dixie will rise again and we'll teach those Lincoln Lovers! Next time, we'll have shoes!

Damn those Lincoln Lovers! It's all their fault I have to sit next to black people at the lunch counter.

commonwealther

A person from, or resident of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Origins:

Massachusetts does not lend itself well to the typical suffixes (-ian, -er, etc.) attached to the name of a place to refer to someone who is from that place (perhaps because the name is not of English origin.) Thus, commonwealther is used as a reference to the fact that Massachusetts is officially designated as a Commonwealth instead of a State (although there is no legal distinction between a “state” and a “commonwealth” in the United States.).

There are three other "states" in the US that designate themselves as Commonwealths (Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Virginia.) However, the usual suffixes are applied to them (Kentuckian, Pennsylvanian and Virginian) without issue, and so a new word is not needed to describe a resident of one of those states.
Bill's not a New Yorker, he's a Commonwealther.
