GaaraoftheDamned's definitions
A person, often an adult in their 40s or 50s, who resides in any suburb of a major city and holds the firm belief everything they and their family need is in their suburb and others surrounding it and rarely, if ever, venture into the core city, either out of fear of being a victim of a crime (even if they live near a city with low crime rates) or out of contempt for the cities mostly liberal/open-minded view points that clash with their staunch conservative ideas.
Militant suburbanites are not very common in communities within 15 miles of the core city and make up less than half a metro area's population, but they are not common to spot, as they feel the need to conform to whatever their neighbors and/or coworkers are doing. Militant Suburbanites that do venture into the city usually tend to stick to the most crowded areas of the city and will avoid any form of public transportation.

Militant Suburbanites that do venture into the city usually tend to stick to the most crowded areas of the city and will avoid any form of public transportation.
There are three levels of Militant Suburbanite:
Level 1-most willing to venture into a core city, though only do so for certain occasions, usually being sporting events, some concerts and conventions/trade shows/conferences, travel (driving through in a car, heading to the airport, etc.) and work, if their job is in the city. All other entertainment and shopping they feel can be done in the suburbs.
Level 2-will venture into the core city from time to time, but usually only for work and travel
Level 3-rarest of all. Is absolutely not willing to venture into the core city at all. They will go out of their way to not find a job there and will even refuse to drive through there on the highway.

Character from the video game Portal 2. Helps you through the first part of the game to the point where you remove Glados from power. At that point he betrays you and sends you to the abandoned part of Apeture Science, forcing you to form a partnership with Glados to stop him.

Get the Wheatley mug.Chicago's Alternative. Created 1992, 101.1 on the dial. Played some great music. In the later years it did have a problem with overplaying certain songs, but always knew when to surprise listeners with great songs they hardly play.
In June 2011, Randy Michaels, former CEO of Chicago-based Tribune Co. purchased the station (along with another Chicago based station 97.9 The Loop) and announced plans to turn the format into a News-Talk station on August 1st. However, all normal programming stopped on July 14, with former DJs returning and many older songs rarely played anymore being played. The final show ended just after midnight, with music being played without DJs until July 18.

Q101 was a fantastic station. Fuck Randy Michaels for killing it for something stupid like a talk station.

Get the Q101 mug.College term for a class that gets cancelled for a semester due to insufficient enrollment by the semester's start date.
This does not mean the college has removed the class altogether. They still plan to offer it in the future starting the next semester (assuming they meet the minimum required enrollment by the specified date).

Greg: So how's music theory going?
Tom: It became a withdrawn course after only five students signed up for it. I'll just try again next semester.

Get the withdrawn course mug.1. Cast member of the god-awful TV show Jersey Shore. Known for being a slut who tans too much, thinks she's Italian when she's really Chilean, and bases her political opinions on people's views on tanning and not real issues. Also hideously ugly.
2. A real boner killer
3. A person carrying every STD known to man (and possibly a few others that haven't been discovered yet).

1. Oh god Jersey Shore is on again. Unless Snooki announces she has skin cancer and six months to live I shy away from the TV whenever it's on.
2. I was getting ready to have sex with this really hot chick from the Iron Maiden show when a Snooki popped into my head for a second and now I'm struggling with erectile dysfunction.
4. Mark and Kim are perfect for each other. They're both Snookis so they can't catch anything new from each other.

Get the Snooki mug.Town/mini-city in Illinois, connected to the northwest side of Chicago. Noted for it's close proximity to O'hare Airport as well as featuring the Allstate Arena (where minor league teams such as the Chicago Wolves American Hockey League team play, as well as hold concerts), Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, and the Rosemont Theater (also a good concert venue).

Get the Rosemont mug.1. When an LGBT person is prevented from coming out, largely due to pressures from family, religion, or any other outside source that may look down on anything other than heterosexuality.
2. A 33-chapter hip hopera by R. Kelly about an infidelity that quickly spirals out of control
3. Perhaps South Park's most controversial episode, which sees Scientologists praising Stan as the reincarnation of L. Ron Hubbard (the title is a parody of R. Kelly's above mentioned hip hopera). While acclaimed by fans and critics (even being nominated for an Emmy), the episode remains controversial in the eyes of scientologists and is believed to have caused Isaac Hayes to leave the show.
