Moonbug's definitions
A slang term for UNBC, the University of Northern British Columbia. It is so called because its lower admission requirements, combined with its lower tuition fees and the lower cost of living where the university is located, in Prince George, often make it a choice of necessity rather than true choice.
However the university is ranked quite high in Canadian standings for achievement and quality of education.

Get the Highway 16mug. Shortened form of "Japanese". Used in the FFXI gaming environment to refer to Japanese players.
Preferred to other shortened forms like "Jap", which is considered disrepectful.

JP only, ((sorry, I don't understand English)).
My JP friend gave me these balance rings, I'm so lucky to be a linkshell with JP players.
It's hard to play with JP players because of translation issues, but they really rock in combat.

Get the jpmug. The mystery was a strange internet experiment propagated by the Smashing Pumpkins with their final album before breaking up, Machina. The greater part of what most fans refer to as the mystery occured in the Meaning of Symbols Forum.
Admins for the site gave clues and fans worked with those clues to discover user names and passcodes to open locked sites. Each site almost invariably led to another. There was supposed to be a cartoon featuring the Ghost Children, the otherworldly fans of Glass and the Machines of God, the fictional alter-ego band of the Smashing Pumpkins. However, only about 20 minutes of the cartoon was ever released, in its unfinished form, before the project was dropped.
The whole mystery seemed to just fizzle out with the band, especially once Billy Corgan became preoccupied with Zwan, another musical project. It is a very difficult and convuluted thing to explain. The mystery was something that needs to be experienced to be understood.

Get the Williams Lakemug. Public Relations slang for the tactic of repeating some fake factoid so loudly and so often that many people start to believe it. It is even more effective if public figures and celebrities are used in the echo chamber.
This technique was used for years to debunk those who noted the first signs of climate change.

Get the the echo chambermug. The central interior of British Columbia is currently experiencing a Pine Beetle Epidemic. Thousands of hectares of pine forests are dead or dying die to infection by pine beetles. The epidemic has partially been caused by Climate Change, because the winters in the interior no longer get cold enough to hold the pine beetle in check.
