Lady Chevalier's definitions
A voicemail or message left on an answering machine that is nothing but a few seconds of dead air.
Left by people who cannot, for some inexplicable reason, hang up the phone BEFORE the end of the outgoing message, but instead wait until the recording begins.

Lisa calls her friend Eric, and reaches his voicemail. Lisa has no intention of leaving a voicemail, but listens to the entirety of Eric's outgoing message (including the beep) before hanging up.
Eric's voice: Hey there, I'm not around right now. There's going to be a beep in a few seconds; you know what to do.
*beep*
Lisa: .... *hangs up telephone*

Get the dead messagemug. A wobbly (but unfallydowny) toy from back in the day. (Actually, it originated in the 70's, which is well before MY 'back in the day,' but I can pretend to be cool and know what I'm talking about.) (And anyway, Playskool still makes incarnarnations of the darn things.)
While I never had Hasbro's brand name Weebles, I did play with a DIY version my uncle made for me. It involved a purple plastic easter egg (you know, the kind you get three jelly beans in) with a penny taped inside the bottom half and a rather frightening face drawn on in Sharpie. Basically, like the actual Weeble, you could bat it around and it would always right itself. It wasn't that far off from the real thing, either.
Being a somewhat belligerent child, I took the slogan as a personal affront, and spent many hours (well, at least twenty minutes trying to devise ways to MAKE THE DARN THING STAY TIPPED OVER. Gluing it to the table might have worked, but I was caught before the elmer's had set. Would that I were still so carefree!
Admittedly not a hugely challenging idea for a toy, but hey.

Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down!
Distracted Father: *calling from the next room* Janie? Janie, did you take my superglue?
Slightly Creepy Child: *loudly and sweetly* No, Daddy!
Distracted Father: Huh. *goes to the basement to check his toolbox for the fourth time*
Slightly Creepy Child: *stashes tube of epoxy, glaring at newly-inverted Weeble the entire time* Take that, you demonic ovoid spawn of hell.

Get the weeblemug. by Lady Chevalier June 10, 2005
Get the Donald Trumpmug. An unfunny or annoying person.
The term was originally used to refer to a funny person or situation, but is used sarcastically so often that the original meaning is all but lost.
Similar to laugh riot.

Get the barrel of laughsmug. The dregs of society.
Wal*Mart is a universally loathed chainstore, commonly described as catering to white trash and being solely responsible for the collapse of western civilization. The implication is that only the lowest of the low shop or work there; thus, Wal*Mart rejects (those who cannot get a job there or shoppers who have been banned from the premises) must truly be among the worst examples of humanity.
The phrase is used both by people who shun Wal*Mart and those who shop there, as everyone can relate to it.

Some Wal*Mart reject tried to chat me up at the club last night. Can you say gross?
No wonder we can't hire anyone! The only people who'd work for this pay are Wal*Mart rejects!

Get the bare-faced liemug. Verb, "to be excellent." Used to express great approval or joy.
Commonly applied to people, events, and objects, but rarely locations.
It is frequently preceded by the adverb totally, and may be used with or without the terminal preposition.
Similar to rock my face off, but with a dorkier twist.
Online usage note: phrase must be accompanied by some form of caps lock.

Megan! AWESOME! You totally rock my socks!
Caesar: Napoleon Dynamite sucked... like a leech.
Cleopatra: Are you kidding me? That movie totally rocked my SOCKS off!
Having free laundry at my dorm rocks my socks off.
However, the laundry room itself is a location; ergo, it does not rock my socks. :(
