a nation that had people of many ethnic groups, languages, religions, alphabets and other catagories live together under one flag and one ruler. It was formed after World War I as a kingdom. The name "Yugoslavia" technically means the "Land of the South Slavs". It was later ruled in a dictatorial manner and during World War II the country was torn apart partially due to actions by the Axis powers. One example of this calamity is that the Utashe, a Croatian fascist group established a Croatian puppet state and waged a campaign of extermination against the Serb ethnic group. A Croatian Communist, Josef "Tito" Broz, managed to reunite Yugoslavia at the war's end and he ruled the entire land under his version of Communism (independent of the influence of the Soviet leaders) until his death in 1980. The communist glue lost its hold on the country by the end of the decade, opening the way for fascists like Slobodan Milosevic and nationalists like Franjo Tudjman and others to stir up ethnic tensions. The Communist government resigned and voted itself out of existance in early 1990 and elections were soon held. Milosevic the son-of-a-bitch wanted control of the land for himself and his policies led to several years of secession, wars and "ethnic cleansing" and a new Holocaust. The nation fell apart in a raging cauldron of violence and now Yugoslavia is no more. There are now several ethnically-based countries, although Bosnia is a mixed bag republic consisting of people in the Croat, Serb and Muslim ethnic groups. "Yugoslavia" is now a word that refers to a country torn apart by hatred and violence between ethnic groups.
1. Rwanda and the Sudan (Darfur region) have experienced ethnic genocide just like Yugoslavia.
2. Some ignorant bigots with their attitudes concerning a certain black Presidential candidate and racist mythology about immigrants (legal and not) and post-9/11 fears stemming from terrorist actions are talking of "America for the Americans" and "RAHOWA". They use these issues to justify their hate. They want to turn this great nation into another Yugoslavia. That way is NOT the answer.

Get the Yugoslavia mug.This phrase is a notorious slogan found on stickers and T-shirts, used by people who oppose the policies of George W. Bush. The sticker also features a picture of W. The slogan is an anthem of resistance and refusal to accept Bush as America's legitimate President. It became more commonplace after the Iraq war started.
At the parking lot of a Media Play store I saw a purple car with a Not My President sticker on the rear.

Get the Not My President mug.OK, we all know that USMC stands for the honorable "United States Marine Corps" and some people refer to them as "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children". However, in early 1987 there was a big scandal where one or two security guards at the U.S. embassy in Moscow, U.S.S.R. were caught being involved in an espionage ring and security breach, and one or more of the guards (who were United States Marines) were in a sexual relationship with a Russian female agent. They were court-martialed and for a while "USMC" was an abbreviation for "Under Seduction of Moscow's Cunt". This occured even while Reagan and Gorbechev were in a state of friendly dialog and Cold War tensions were lessening.
This USMC/embassy mess did not stop the talks between the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. from continuing. The Cold War ended peacefully a few years later and the incident was largely forgotten.

Get the USMC mug.Fascism has appeared in many nations over the past 80-odd years. Look up the histories of Germany, Italy, Japan, Brazil, Spain, Zaire, South Africa, Greece and other countries that have had fascist governments or do today.

Get the fascism mug.1. a situation where a man (a client?) has a sexual quickie. Maybe it's during a break period.
2. a euphenism for just plain ordinary non-kinky sex. No oral or anal or role-playing or S & M jive, just slide it in. Sometimes referred to as simply "wham, bam!".
3. What rock'n'roll chameleon David Bowie interjects after the last verse and before the grand blowout of his classic hit "Suffragette City". It's on the legendary protopunk album "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders of Mars".

1. James and Mary had a hot time in the storage room this afternoon. It was so brief but so electric and so intense it was a case of "Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!".
2. Jojo was walking around the streets of Salt Lake City when he saw some college students unpacking a Volkswagon. They told Jojo that they were going to do some kinky sex acts, threesomes, an orgy and such and invited him to join them. Jojo declined. They asked him what kind of sex he liked doing. He just deadpanned "Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!".
3. On the CD version of the "Fire And Gasoline" album by Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols there is a cover of "Suffragette City". Steve Jones substitutes the " Wham, bam, thank you ma'am!" line with "Wham, bam, load it baby!".
4. Ahhhhhhh, wham, bam, thank you ma'am!

Get the hurting unit mug.1. a stone
2. a piece of crack cocaine that is smoked
3. AKA "rock'n'roll". It's the ultimate form of musical expression. It's roots are in American, British and Irish folk, country and western (the classic stuff - NOT that poofy crap of today), jazz, blues, bluegrass and other sources. Pioneered by Ike Turner, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, King Elvis, Bill Haley + the Comets, the Beach Boys and many more. Expanded, further defined and influenced even more by British bands like the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Kinks and German bands like Kraftwerk. Now rock music is listened to any performed by people in every nation. It's an American cultural phenominae that has shaped the world.
4. to be cool. To rule, to be bad.
5. In the U.S. Navy this word is jargon for flunking an academic test.

1. Billy threw a rock at a glass house. Next came the sound of glass shattering.
2. When the cops came in the apartment to make their dope bust Mikey put his crack pipe (with a rock in it) in the toilet bowl bottom hole. The police found it anyway and arrested Mikey.
3. Just gimme some of that rock'n'roll music. Any old way ya choose it.
4. The Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame is located in Cleveland, Ohio supposedly because the music got its name from a Cleveland slang term for sex.
5. Rise up! Gather round! Rock this place to the ground.
6. at a Rush concert someone behind me yelled, "GEDDY LEE, YEWWWW RAWHKK!". Because of the distance to the stage and the volume Geddy Lee and his Rush-mates Neil and Alex couldn't hear that, but they've been rocking for many years - they know.
7. Seaman Vincent: how did you do on the first Propulsion Engineering Basics test?
Seaman James: I aced it.
Seaman Vincent: Did you hear how Seaman Steve did? He ROCKED it!
8. that manufactured Britney/Xtina/NSYNC/teen pop garbage is NOT rock, it's a CROCK.
