A song by DragonForce that epitomizes everything that is wrong with rock music at this time. Because of its presence in Guitar Hero III (and its unprecedented complexity), some have construed it as a good song. This effect has also made genuine rock classics (Sunshine of Your Love, Smoke on the Water, Paranoid) seem inferior, when they are actually just more pleasing to listen to.
Person 1: I can beat Through the Fire and Flames on Expert! I rule!
Person 2: Congratulations, you can use a guitar-shaped video game controller to hit a lot of buttons and as a result, crappy music comes from the TV. What an accomplishment!

A team that has won one World Series, but due to the massive inferiority complex of the fans towards the St. Louis Cardinals, this fact is mentioned more than the ten Cardinals World Series wins (including 2006) combined.
Cardinal fan: So I see that the Kansas City Royals are in last place again. I hear that so-and-so from USC would be a good number one pick for you guys, though.
Royal fan: Remember '85.
Cardinal fan: No, I do not remember 1985, seeing as I wasn't born, and you were not born either.
Royal fan: Remember '85.
Cardinal fan: Okay, fine, take 1985. The Cardinals have won ten championships. Nine more than you guys have.

A use phrased by countless politicians, celebrities, and television/radio hosts to justify any stupid thing they ever say. While occasionally something is taken out of context, it is mostly ridiculous.
Critic: "How could you possibly claim that you want to rape and murder every single minority in the country?"
Douchebag: "I did say that, but it was taken out of context."

Slang for one whose own accomplishments are exaggerated as a result of a strong supporting cast. Originates from Ringo Starr, an above average drummer who is more famous than most of the greatest drummers in history because he worked in a band with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and George Harrison.
Person #1: John Salley was sure a great NBA player. Look at how many championships he won!
Person #2: But he wasn't that big of a contributer. He was a Ringo Starr.

3. Women scored in a lifetime (really, is anybody going to dispute that one?)

Illinois Senator/Presidential candidate Barack Obama. Usually, the "Hussein" is added by critics (conservative politicians, Fox News, the people of West Virginia) to draw parallels with Saddam Hussein.
Barack is actually named after his father, Barack Hussein Obama Sr., who was born before the Iraqi leader. Hussein is actually a very popular Arabic name which means good or handsome. The Hussein is often used to fuel the omnipresent "Secret Muslim" rumors, which is ironic since Saddam was a secular leader.

"Did you know that his full name is Barack Hussein Obama?"--Steve Doocy, multiple times.
"I don't like the Hussein. I've had enough of Hussein!"--some West Virginia voter that was aired on many newscasts.

A word originally meant to describe somebody of a mental ability between 50 and 79. Now used mostly to describe George W. Bush.
1. Before it became slang, it would have been perfectly acceptable for me to refer to Forrest Gump as a moron.
2. Bush is a moron.
