A character-type that appears in Cyberpunk. Razor Girls are basically action-heroines, usually with the sexiness and badassedry cranked up to the Nth degree.
The name comes from the original razor girl, Molly, of William Gibson's cyberpunk novel "Neuromancer" (often considered the original cyberpunk book). Molly is referred to as a "razor girl" and a "steppn' razor" by other characters, due to the retractable razor claws she has stored under her fingernails (to name only one of her badass cyborg upgrades).
Other examples of razor girls include Trinity from "The Matrix;" Major Kusanagi of "Ghost in the Shell;" Avalon and Lea Prism of the novel "Hammerjack;" and the lead characters of "Barb Wire," "Aeon Flux," and "Ultraviolet."
Mind you, a razor girl is not just any awesome female character who happens to be in a cyberpunk story. She has to meet that level of viciousness and badass. Rachel from "Blade Runner" is a fantastic character and a strong woman, but she is not a fighter, and thus is not a razor girl. Same goes for Shiloh, Blind Mag, and all the other awesome-but-not-action-fighter girls from "Repo: The Genetic Opera!" Neal Stephenson's Y.T., despite being one of the most awesome characters in all of fiction, never mind cyberpunk, also just barely misses to meet the criteria, since her shtick is more about escaping and dodging danger than confronting bad guys head-on.

"What the hell do you mean 'The Matrix' isn't cyberpunk? It's got all the tropes you need--the virtual reality, the black leather, the sunglasses, the hacker heroes, the evil corporate dudes, and the razor girls!"

A straight white girl who recognizes that the "part Native American" trend has run its course, and now has to come up with something new.
I can't be racist because I'm 1/16 Cherokee, and I can't be transphobic or homophobic because I'm nonbinary! So ha!

Extremist lunatic who gives feminism a bad name.
A few differences between a feminist and a feminazi:
* Feminist: Thinks "man and wife" should be changed to "husband and wife."
Feminazi: Thinks "Doberman" should be changed to "Doberperson."
* Feminist: Praises "Mulan" for it's strong female lead
Feminazi: Criticizes "Mulan" because when the heroine killed the bad guy and saved China, she was wearing a dress
* Feminist: Tries to put and end to the stereotypes and stigma surrounding single mothers
Feminazi: Tries to defend women like the Octomom
* Feminist: Hates men like Glen Beck, Rush Limbagh, and Rev. Phelps
Feminazi: Hates men

You have to be an approved member to post on our feminist blog. I had to make that rule because before, when just anyone could post, it got swarmed with crazy feminazis who made our site look stupid. It was really embarrassing.

"That cashier didn't smile. What a bitch!"
"Oh stop bitching. She was just tired."
"Yeah, and besides, being a cashier sucks. You're basically the customer's bitch, until they leave the store."
"Speaking of which, that bitch I was dog-sitting for is pregnant! We're trying to find homes for all the puppies."
"I'm Rick James, bitch!"

The current politically correct term for mentally handicapped people. However, by the time this definition is finished being typed, "differently abled" will likely be a "slur" and the new PC term will be something even more vague.
"People with Down Syndrome are not 'disabled,' they're differently abled! And this has nothing to do with political correctness; simply understanding and clarity."
"I beg your pardon, but I don't appreciate you calling people like my son 'differently abled.' They are no more 'different' than any usual person. This is an offensive slur and needs to stop. Spread the word to end the D-word!"

1.) A person from a rural subculture with a jolly personality, who, despite a penchant for alcohol and bad facial hair, can be lots of fun to hang with.
2.) A racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted person, who thinks non-Christians are going to hell, George Bush was a great president, and trailer-park mustaches are sexy.
3.) What average, middle-class white Christians call themselves when they want to pretend they're members of a struggling minority culture.
