quite simply, reggae is a soulful Carribean form of rock'n'roll. Inspired by American soul, ska, calypso and other Carribean music styles, reggae is usually in a laid back arrangement, relaxed and based on guitars. Reggae was invented in Jamaica but there are other performers in other countries that perform reggae. Many bands in various other rock styles have written reggae-influenced songs. Many reggae songs have scored international success over the past 25 years or so. Reggae is usually about island life, celebrating life in spite of poverty and oppression, sunshine, peace, racial equality, sometimes "ganja" and sometimes Rastafari.
Some world-wide reggae hits:
"Tomorrow People" - Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers
"Can You Be Loved" - Bob Marleyand the Wailers
"Bad Boys (Theme from COPS)" - Inner Circle
"Red Red Wine" - UB40

A slurrish contraction of 'Is that so'? Used more commonly in the eastern US states, particularly New York and the New England region. It's a bit on the sarcastic edge.
Donny: I'm the baddest smartest and best looking superstar in this school. Chicks dig me.

a popular catch-all term first widely used by loudmouth TV show host Morton Downey Jr.. He was always popping off the chops about what he believed in and he frequently shoved his ideas on others and shouted down his rivals/opponents/adversaries/whatever by trying to have the last word on everything, name calling, interjecting put-downs, shooting his mouth off like a kid and often giving the final retort of "Zip it!". His show caused quite a stir in 1988 - 1989, it was what people in colleges and workplaces discussed a lot. The worse legacy from it all is that in the coming decade and into the 21st century a tidal wave of sensational journalism, obnoxious TV and radio dunderheads, stupid one track mind politicians and other cretins belching nerve gas, intolerant attitudes and hatred would pollute the media, government and entertainment worlds.
Most TV, radio, other forms of entertainment and political commentary is justegotistical trash. There's just a bunch of arrogant screechy foos who are rigid and not open to other ideas. They tell others to "Zip it!" or to "fuck yourself" like a certain Dick said to a Congress man all those years ago, and there is a stench of arrogant pushoverness, closed-mindedness and egos larger than the planet Jupiter (and that's HUGE, fellas! Over 1500 X larger than Earth). I wish people would zip it and listen to each other again. I wish there was respect for diverse ideas and such again. Everybody zip it. You don't have all the right answers to everything. Neither do I.

1. A juicy scented liquid women use to clean their panamas after sex, after menstruation or in the shower to clean it up and/or remove an odor.
2. The word is of French origin, it means 'shower'.
3. In Quebecois French (French dialect spoken in Canada), it's a slang word for a sexy well-oiled muscle-bound sex machine of a man.
3. An arrogant boorish obnoxious asshole who thinks they can get anything they want. The term is usually applied to males but can also be applied to females too sometimes. Also 'DOUCHEBAG'.
4. Donald Trump.

1. At the end of the day, Aimee had PMS and she felt agitated. So in the shower that evening she pumped some douche to get that stink outta her. She felt better afterward.
2. The French whore showered, using a douche bottle before hitting the streets.
3. After winning a video game gambling ticket in a Quebec City hotel, I had to go to the bar to redeem it. I did so and had a drink. me and the bartender were watching CBC and there was Douchebag TraitorTrump blubbering his juvenile obnoxious shit, being an asshole. In our conversation, we learned the French Canadian and USA definitions of 'douche'. It was a humorous talk for both of us.
4. Donnie Douche has the appellation 'il Douche', a derivative of Benito Mussolini's title 'Il Duce' (the leader). Very fitting because Diaper Don is a bonafide FASCIST pig with a violent terroristic hateful personality cult and he talks, acts, thinks like a FASCIST. Every act he's done is a crime, he thinks about nobody but himself. He thinks the whole universe revolves around him, he's grossly immature and undiplomatic and ill-mannered to the max. He even calls himself the 'Chosen One', making him an ANTICHRIST. He assaults and rapes women, took his daughter as his wife, induces violence, etc. He is a total absolute DOUCHE(BAG). A Caligula. Oh yeah, he LOOOOVES to get his ass SPANKED by a ho too. SHIT!!!!

abbreviation for the Ku Klux Klan, a terrorist organization that is legal here in the USA. They intimidate, harass, beat up, abduct and kill people that they hate: blacks, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, Hispanics, Asiatic Orientals, non-white Caucasians, Native Americans, immigrants, labor union people, "liberals", people who are involved in interracial love and sex affairs (and marriages too), socialists, communists and other so-called "undesirables". They also commit acts of arson and bombings against against specific places like homes and houses of worship. If people in government are so devoted to fighting terrorism, then how about getting rid of DOMESTIC terrorism as well?
It's unbelievable that some lawmakers were defending the burning of crosses in people's yards as a legit exercise of free speech! It's intimidating people, so that makes it an act of terrorism. What more can be said? The KKK and similar groups are violent terrorist organizations. A bunch of douche bags is a bunch of douche bags. Period. If it swims like a duck, quacks like a duck...

Simply, a cold tough woman, especially one who leads men on, have their fun and then ditch them. Also, it's the title of a 2004 hit by the band Jet, which hails from Down Under.
Ami keeps leading Keith on, they're both blitzed, but she's gonna get all she can from him and then drop him like a rock. She's a cold hard bitch.

Of course, we call know that "mofo" is a more "polite" form of the word "motherfucker", just like the abbreviation "M.F.". "Mother" is also a substitute for that nasty word. "Mofo" is also the title of a song from the album "Pop", released by the band U2 in 1997. The song refers to Bono's mother, who died of cancer when Bono (Paul Hewson) was a teenager (Paul McCartney grew up with losing his mom in the same way). In the song Bono asks his dead mom "Mother, am I still your son?", and he asks her if she sees him on stage tonight and if she is proud of him. He does not sing the words "mofo", "motherfucker" or any related word in the lyrics. Maybe in a case of Irish humor, the song got its name as a parody of all the songs that feature the word "motherfucker" that saturated the market at the time, going on today.
1. That porno mag publisher is one sicko mofo, and he knows it, and he relishes that fact. He is proud to be an SMF.
2. When I saw U2 in concert in the spring of 1997, the 1979 classic by M called "Pop Music" was played, then came "Mofo", followed by "I Will Follow", then by several other U2 hits. Major kick ass.
