wet back

Racial Slang. Refers to any Hispanic
immigrant, particularly those of illegal
origin (the implication being that a wet
back results from crossing river borders
by swimming). Generally considered to be
a slur, offensive. Also "wetback".

Every summer, they hired a bunch of wet
backs to work the fields, and paid them
under the table.

ricers

Common and usually derogatory term used as a blanket explanation for the complex and popular resurgence of automotive culture among young adults, particular in terms of small-displacement Japanese
import modified vehicles.

Variances within the scene - with some cars barely modified, others heavily
massaged to generate impressive power, many optimized for handling, others still intended entirely for show/stereo competitions - have resulted in a great deal of criticism and confusion.

A compounding factor, historically, has been the reluctance of Japanese makers to export their most impressive hardware to North American markets. This trend is showing signs of reversing.

Those ricers. Don't they realize that internal combustion engineering progress topped out with the pushrod?

newb

Truncation of "newbie". A neophyte.

That newb needed help getting his OSPF
configuration working - who hired him in
the first place?
