Get the MLS mug.A term invented by American sports-writers, used within college sports.
"Mid-Major" was originally used because no one had a good term to describe a college or conference less powerful than the BCS college/conferences, but more powerful than the next level down. The Division I-A non-BCS conferences, as of 2007, are the Mountain West, Conference USA, MAC, WAC and Sun Belt.
Sports writers and fans alike often express distase for the term, but no one has been able to come up with anything better yet.

1) The mid-major conferences had a good year in 2006, when Boise State upset Oklahoma in their bowl game.
2) Why does Michigan keep scheduling those mid-majors early in the season? Schedule a real team, already!

Get the mid-major mug.Someone reluctant, or downright afraid, to use google.com, the most popular search engine on the web. Whether their excuse is one of ignorance, fear, or anything else, this would all fall under the category of googlephobe.
Mick: Hey, I heard they caught a 110-pound coelacanth off the coast of Indonesia. I need to look that up on Yahoo.
Mike: Yahoo?! Man, quit bein' such a googlephobe.

Get the Googlephobe mug.Selecting a movie from your Netflix queue at random, and watching it regardless of the result. This works best with the instant streaming feature on an XBox or PS3, where holding a button can shuffle past titles at a rapid rate, but is also possible on a home computer or even by mail.
A: I can't decide what to watch. Wanna go with Netflix Roulette?
B: Yeah, sure, I guess. Just hold the right trigger and see what it lands on--
A: Oh cool, something called Human Centipede. I wonder what it's about?
B: Let's find out!

Get the Netflix Roulette mug.The 29th president of the United States (1921-1923), widely considered to be the worst President of all time, until soundly replaced in this title by George W. Bush (2001-2009).
Harding was from humble roots in the midwest, spoke in a a simple country manner, promised government jobs to his friends, had an administration largely associated with corruption, had a vice president who didn't say much, was immensely popular when he was elected before seeing his popularity nosedive until it was almost non-existent. In short, the only differences between Harding and the junior Bush was that Bush served 8 years to Harding's 2, and Harding never sent a single American soldier overseas to die.
Harding was not, in fact, a negro (this rumor was started by his oppositon prior to the 1920 election), though he was the first President elected after the passing of the 19th Amendment (the amendment that allowed women to vote). Unlike the junior Bush, Harding actually succeeded an *un*popular President, in that Woodrow Wilson won re-election by promising not to get involved in World War I, then entered it anyway. Another departue from Bush was the sheer mediocrity of his successor, Calvin Coolidge, who was famous for spending most of his eight years at the golf course.
The G does not, in fact, stand for Gangster.

Get the Warren G. Harding mug.The irrational, slightly hilarious, and apparently very real fear of a car or other machine transforming into a giant robot. On par with coulrophobia and triskaidekaphobia.
