Jeep

A 4-wheel drive vehicle that says "Jeep" on it because the manufacturer had the right to put the word "Jeep" on it.

Bumper stickers that say "My other car is..." don't count.
If it says Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Suzuki, or (snigger) Subaru on it, it is not a Jeep! Stop calling it what it isn't.

Social Security

A duh-weebish Administration within the U.S. government that is so incoherently ran that if NASA operated the way they do, ALL their shuttles would explode.
NASA may kill off 7 people now and then, but the Social Security Administration probably kills off 7 people every day.
