Solid Mantis's definitions

Home

Home isnt somewhere you have to establish, re-establish, prove, or justify anything. When you're home, you know where home is, and where home is not, the same thing goes for when you're away from home. You also notice where the true home of others is, and where it is not.
Home is home no matter how far you go or where you move to.

Instigator

Someone who tries to make everything inflammatory by encouraging escalation of actions, while pretending to be concerned about de-escalation, resolution, compromise, and intervention, or anything else that makes him/her look like a good person among bad people.
The girl's family knew she had always been an instigator, the kind of person who said fuck you to neighbors and flipped them off by coming in their town like she owned it, with the intervention programs she supported to cover her own actions, or involvement in the questionable actions of others, and make her look like a better/stronger person than she actually was.

School/team name change

People who go to a high school have about as much interest in the name of the school as they have in the subjects being taught there. Their main interest is getting it over with and graduating. People who play on a sports team have more interest in making money than they do in what the name of the team they play on is.
The people involved in a school/team name change never held the original name sacred, and won't hold the next one sacred either. For 88 years, it never bothered anybody that the Washington Redskins were the Redskins, the name never really raised an eyebrow. Nobody paid the name much attention, then somebody whines about it and they have to make it politically correct so it no longer offends anybody (even though it never seemed to once in 88 years). They can even pick more neutral colors on their jerseys, how would their fans like a team with neutral colors and a lifeless name to go with it? It would be like playing a team called the neutered Bulldogs dressed in tiny pajamas versus the toxic, rabid, drug-fed junkyard Bulldogs.

Weak and strong

Weak and strong is both weak and strong, rather than perfect.
I'd rather be weak and strong than just weak. At least I got a little range without having to go get a rifle.

Extrovert facade

Some people try to hide their inner nerd behind a streetwise or athletic facade, or some other facade they think will get people to hand over a key to something. They try to out disarm anybody that might try to disarm them, to the point that it's kind of silly.
He/she had learned to keep his/her extrovert facade most, if not all of his/her life so that most people that had met him/her and didn't know him/her well would believe in it, though it had always been transparent to one or two that knew him/her well.

Ocrachoke

A move from Ocracoke Island where you choke the shit out of somebody til their face turns green, like okra. You can also stick there head underwater for a while, like Ocracoke Island. People talk like they got a little more sense after their head has been underwater a while, it puts things in perspective.
The guy was in an ocrachoke.

Tamer

Someone who tries to tame animals with positive results on every animal but that one.
The mountain lion got the steak tied around her neck and both of her kidneys when the trained tamer got mauled by it at the zoo.
