Kansas City Royals

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.
Royal fan: Remember '85.

through the fire and flames

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!

taken out of context

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."

wilt chamberlain

Known for three scoring records:
1. NBA points in a career (since eclipsed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone)
2. NBA points in game (still intact at 100)
3. Women scored in a lifetime (really, is anybody going to dispute that one?)

Man #1: I wish I could score like Wilt Chamberlain.
Man #2: Yeah, he could dominate a basketball game like no other.
Man #1: Yeah, um, that's right, basketball.

Ringo Starr

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.

supertramp

A band consisting of the ugliest men to ever live on Earth.

It's a good thing Supertramp had such good music, or they would have never gotten laid.

will smith

An unoffensive black man whose popularity with suburban white kids/housewives is only equaled by Wayne Brady. Later in his career, he established himself as a decent actor but may be ultimately remembered best for inoffensive pop-rap (even my mom told me I could listen to him growing up, but I wasn't that big of a pussy) and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", which is kind of like the Cosby Show, except it was only watched by white people.

Will Smith is a castrated version of Ice-T and Ice Cube.
