Pat Tillman

An NFL player who went to war in Afghanistan before everyone who realized what a disaster it would be, and then died in a pointless friendly fire incident; a man of great courage and conviction, and very little faith.
"Is it true Pat Tillman was an atheist?"
"Well, he didn't go to church, but even if he was, does that make him any less of an American hero?

little bitch

Someone who's whiny, petty, and passive-aggressive and won't stand up for him/herself when shit's going down, but will be perfectly happy to stab you in the back when you least expect it. Very distinct from a regular bitch.
No, I don't think you're a little bitch because you're a girl. I think you're a little bitch because you're a sniveling rat who I can't trust with a weather report, never mind something important.

Doreknob

A person, usually a self-proclaimed leftist, who is a fan of pseudoleftist podcaster and “comedianJimmy Dore. Usually the burned-out husk of a BernieBro; likely to be fond of saying “I didn’t leave the Left, the Left left me”.
He used to be a BernieBro; now he can't stand Bernie so he became a Doreknob. I wonder if anyone's remind him that a leftist should never be a Trump supporter.
