Ryan Thompson's definitions

limousine

A luxury car with a division window between the front and back seat, which can be raised and lowered by the occupants.

In America, limousines originally rolled off the assembly line as complete cars. They weren't super-stretched monsters. Around the late-1970s, early-1980s, companies began taking pre-existing cars (Cadillacs and Lincolns being the most popular choice) and stretching them by cutting them from one side to the other, between the front and rear doors, and 'filling in' in the middle.

gay marriage

When two people of the same gender get married. Has been legal in most European countries for many years now. If it were legalized in the United States, whether you agree with it or not, it would put a lot of money into the economy. Many people would move into bigger houses or apartments, buy different/newer/bigger cars, and so on. At one time it was illegal for blacks and whites to marry in many places in the United States. Straight couples have already set an excellent example of marriage in the US, with two-thirds of marriages here ending in divorce. 'Sanctity'?
We must protect the sanctity of Britney Spears' 48-hour marriage and Mario "A.C. Slater" Lopez's two-week marriage and Nicky Hilton's 84-day marriage.

Fubu

A brand of clothing whose name is an abbreviation of the term For Us By Us, meaning the brand was started by black people and its target market is specifically black people.
I worked at a movie theater in Oregon from 1998 to 2000. A co-worker of mine used to live in the San Francisco area, and one time when he was at a party, he saw a black guy with a Fubu shirt that had a hole in the front of it. He asked the guy "What happened to your shirt?" and the black guy answered, completely straight-faced, "A white guy was wearing it. I shot him and took the shirt." A cookie of wisdom for any white people trying to be black -- don't wear Fubu in big cities.

Volkswagen W12

Volkswagen's upcoming sportscar model, so-named because of its W12 engine. It has 12 cylinders, arranged in a 'W' -- Take two narrow-angle four-valve V6 engines and configure them at an angle of 72 degrees apart from one another with a shared crankshaft. This layout could be described as a "V-V" arrangement, or a "W." The result has 6.0 liters generating 600 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 458 lb-ft of torque at 5,800 rpm.The engine is incredibly powerful, capable of 217 mph (350 km/h).
Not to be confused with the upcoming Volkswagen Phaeton, which will contain a smaller W12 engine, and very likely be available in the American market long before the VW W12 is.
