Get the Spikeswept mug.A movement of people who, before the civil war, made it their goal to spawn a body of literature that was wholly American and unique from anything the likes of which Europe had seen. Writers of the movement focused on spirituality, romanticism and intuition rather than clear-cut common sense. Transcendentalist literature was also typically very involved in the abolitionist and women's-rights movements.
Some authors who were part of the movement of transcendentalism include Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Emily Dickinson, Theodore Parker, Margaret Fuller, and Harriet Martineau.

Get the Transcendentalism mug.Person With a Developmental "Dis"-ability With Attitude!
Such a person has a DD, and ain't afraid to show it!
A PWDDWA is a self advocate, and KICKS BUTT, more butt than any "typically"-abled person (PWOD), as they crusade for the right to do everything you 'normals' do and to be accepted for it.
PWDDWAs don't hold themselves back and aren't afraid to get married --even to, *gasp*, NORMAL people-- to drink alcohol if they please, rear children, and listen to metal music. A PWDDWA practices self-determination and makes as their own lifestyle choices, not limiting themself. A PWDDWA stick up for their DD family when someone starts "retard-bashing" and downtalking PWDDs. And YES, a heckuvalottta PWDDWAs ride SHORTBUSES!! And are PROUD of it!
PWDDWAs are not afraid to be just who they are and like it that way--so the 'normal' world can just DEAL WITH IT!

So what?
We still have right to do the same things you do; we'll just do them differently."

c) "GET THE ZOMBIES!!!!!"
d--and perhaps my personal favourite--"Get Sam Worthington!!!!"

Get the Slasher flick mug.To hit on. Learned this messaging with an aussie online who promised he wouldn't try to 'crack on to' me. Apparently it's aussie slang.

Get the Crack on mug.A disparaging term often used to refer to riders of a Special Needs bus. So-called because they often assume that we are all 'Retards', which is not true for several reasons,
A. being that many of us are autistic or have cerebral palsy, a seizure disorder or some sort of physical disability, or require a service dog due to phsychological problems, blindness, or deafness- none of the above being neccesarily congruent with Mental Retardation in any way, and in fact most often being accompanied by a normal or even Above Average, Gifted, or Genius IQ.
Reason B. is that while some children and young adults riding the so-called 'Retard Rocket' may have Down Syndrome or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (fas)or, some other disability accompanied or characterised by Mental Retardation, they are in fact not 'Retards,' they are people, with personalities, emotions, talents, and challenges- and especially considering that there is no such thing as a 'Retard' because the word RETARD is, in fact, a verb, meaning 'to slow or stunt'.

Jerk #1: Hey, look, here comes the Retard Rocket! Here comes your bus, John!
John: Shut up! It's YOUR bus, noob!
Special Needs Rider: Actually, it's MY bus. I'd positively LOVE to stay and chat with you two LOVELY young gentlemen, but I'm afraid that I have AP Literature first period and I would just hate to be late for that, especially since we're doing an in-depth study of Snorri Sturluson's Eddas, both Poetic and Prose, and I am eternally enamoured of Norse Mythology. Although I must say, one of my favourites actually has to be Ragnarsdrápa, wouldn't you say? Well, I'd better go, or the aide will get angry. She's so testy! *to aide* Coming! *to jerks* Bye now!
*blank expressions*
Jerk #1: *Drools stupidly* Uhhhh...whaaatt?
Johnny: Uhhhm...Eye-Dee-Kay. Something about....Eddie?
Jerk #1: Isn't he, like, in our math class?
John: Shut up! It's YOUR bus, noob!

Get the Retard Rocket mug.Japanese word for doll or stuffed toy, literally meaning, 'sew-and-wrap.' Examples are Gloomy Bear, Ugly Dolls, Hello Kitty, Monster Dolls, Sugar Bunnies, Tokotoko. Despite some of their scary names they are all very cute. Nowadays, you can obtain many complex nuigurumi patterns on the internet and in catalogues, etc. Dekora-chans (sometimes spelled Decora-chan) usually wear them hanging on chains or ribbons from their clothing or perched on their hats. If you visit Harajuku you might see a few of them gracing girls' headwear, tied to wrists, or peeking out of purses.
