Lady Chevalier's definitions
According to author Gregory Maguire, the name of the Wicked Witch of the West, tragic antiheroine of The Wizard of Oz. From the initials of Oz author L. Frank Baum: eLFaBa.
Also the "title" character of the musical Wicked, based on Maguire's book Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West.
Used as an epithet for one whose actions are cold-hearted (as in the classic view of a wicked witch), or used sarcastically when one's actions are misguidedly noble or terroristic in nature. (In Maguire's book, Elphaba spent several years as part of a terrorist group fighting the injustices the Wizard caused for the people and Animals of Oz.)

Get the Elphaba mug.God's gift to all who must suffer through the cold season.
Comes in a spray bottle. Spritz it into your mouth, and it will numb your throat at least long enough for the the Nyquil you're taking to knock you out cold.

Get the Chloraseptic mug.A way-cooler word for chickpeas, and a major ingredient in hummus.
Something that must remain stocked at all times in college cafeteria salad bars. This is on pain of death or violent dismemberment by hoardes of trendy, enraged, pita-and-hummus-consuming college students.

This is your first night working the salad bar? Okay. First thing you need to do is figure out where we keep the garbanzo beans. Check the coolers. Find them. I don't even know what the freaking things are, but God help us if we ever run out of them.

Get the garbanzo bean mug.A period of roughly six weeks, lasting from the end of November to some time in January. It includes a number of religious holidays, traditional celebrations, and family visits. It is generally accepted to be both the best part of the year (for people under the age of fifteen) and the worst part of the year (for people over the age of fifteen).
Includes: Thanksgiving, Hannukah, Advent, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, the Winter Solstice, St. Nick's Day, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, Winter Break (for students), and a number of others.
Sometimes used (as "Happy Holidays") as a politically correct (race, creed, and nationality-neutral) phrase on cards and decorations.
Also known as "International Muzak Month" due to the unwavering propensity of shopping establishments to assault their customers' ears with instrumental version of "Do You Hear What I Hear," "Jingle Bell Rock," and "White Christmas" for the entire six-week period.

If I hear "The Little Drummer Boy" one more time, I swear I'm going to snap. I didn't mind this as a kid, but ever since I turned fifteen, boy! I hate the holidays.

Get the The Holidays mug.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 Donald Trump mug.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!
