Get the AOLmug. A person who fought for the South during the American Civil War. They had several nicknames in addition to Confederates, which was their official title, as well as their new "nation". Other nicknames include Grayback, Secesh, Traitor, and Rebel.
The total number of Confederate soldiers who served during the War of Southern Aggression is not exact, but it said to be somewhere around 750,000 men. They were usually seen wearing four different kinds of uniforms: gray wool standard, butternut-brown dyed (uniforms captured from Union dead, and then converted), colorful French-styled "Zouave", and finally (and practically) little or no uniform. Over half of the Confederates and their respective government were too poor to afford full standard uniforms for even the majority of there soldiers, so they would wear regular civilian clothing mixed with various pieces of Confederate uniform (hats, trousers, etc.) along with their ammunition belts and other gear.
These Southern soldiers were exceptionally brave and more well-trained with guns; a great number of their commanders, from regiments to corps, were very talented in military strategy and were far beyond competent. Many of the Southerners had colorful, dashing personalities and attitudes. They also knew the land of which they would be defending on throughout most of the Civil War.
However, they didn't have certain qualities that Northerners and Midwesterners fighting for the Union did. These include powerful industrial strength, a population nearly four times greater, a majority of those same people with unflinching determination, many different kinds of uniforms (including some better looking ones), and easy access to munitions, leather goods, and railroad transportation. In addition, the Unionists also had great courageousness, even if they lacked the flashy and colorful personality traits of the Southerners. Furthermore, the Unionists in the lower Midwest (Missouri, Kentucky, southern Indiana) and in Pennsylvania and Maryland also knew the ground that they would have to defend a few times during the War. Overall, though, the Confederates had some of the best soldiers that the world has ever seen.
Now many southerners today are obsessed with this war, these belligerents, and the rebellion in general. Many of them are trying to find out if they had Confederate ancestors who fought in the war. Now there are a lot of southern girls who are militantly Confederate as well, even more than the women back then. Rebel flag apparel is popular with all of them today.

Confederate soldiers vowed to keep on fighting, and didn't stop until the surrenders of Lee and Johnston in early and late April 1865.

Get the Confederatemug. The best places in the United States that make up over half of the nation's total population as well as around 3/4 of the country's total land mass. These particular states are filled with good people, usually who work for a living and get educations or they work hard to make something of themselves. There are a few ultra-liberal morons and ghetto-ass black people who hate whites, but overall it is the better people who have morals, a work ethic, care about their families, and defend their personal beliefs and will stand up for their president, or at least for their country.
All of you blue states are outnumbered and outwitted, as a result of our being more intelligent than you. Go Bush Go!

Get the Red Statesmug. A very short phrase that can be substituted for getting into a session of passionately kissing someone.
This may be seen in online chat rooms when a couple hooks up on there and are pretending to make out.

Get the Makes Out Witchoomug. The people who inhabit the large northwest-European islands known as the British Isles. These are, without a doubt, one of the greatest ethnic groups of people in the entire world. The nation known as the United Kingdom (or Great Britain) use to own a great majority of the earth, with colonies in North America, Africa, Far East Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and subcontinent Asia (India).
In my opinion, the British are a wonderful people, with an awesome culture, beautiful women, the greatest accents, and some of the best bands in the world.

Get the Britishmug. Another derogatory nickname for a Democrat, especially a liberal. It is a contraction of Democrat (first half) and hypocrites (second half). This is used based on the fact that most Democrats are a bunch of two-faced hypocrites who only defend certain positions and stand up for certain groups of people.
Democrites.....
-Claim to be against corporations and hate big business, but many of them have their own (ex. John Kerry has Heinz).
-Say they're not racists but grill black, Asian, and Hispanics people when they are part of the Republican Party. (ex. Condoleeza Rice being called "Aunt Jemima".)
-Declare themselves to fight for racial equality when in reality they get "special" and extra rights for specific racial and ethnic minorities (which puts them above everyone else because it breaks the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution), while rarely giving anything to Native Americans.
-Hate and try to ban Christianity while sticking up for other "oppressed" religions like Judiasm and Islam.
-Blame Bush for all the deaths and tragedies in Iraq and calling him a warmonger, when presidents like Wilson, Truman, and LBJ (Lyndon B. Johnson) got us into most of the wars during the 20th Century.
Editors, don't delete this just because you don't agree with it.

Get the Democritesmug. This is a phrase made as a response that can be said in rebuttal to a stupid comment about something that is completely untrue. It's purpose is to sarcastically add on to the other person's fib with another lie to go with it, showing them how they are incorrect. This particular phrase is derived from the fact that Elton John is gay, and therefore saying this would mean you are lying.
RJ: Bush is a warmonger!
Ryan (Me): yeah...and Elton John's Straight!
