The Urban Husky's definitions
1. Uber-PC term used by very angry and radical LGBT elements, referring to the perception of heterosexuality as normal, and other orientations, by extension, as being "different." As this point of view is a given for most people in the mainstream, even the very gay-tolerant, the term may be considered prejudicial, and is not widely used outside of the LGBT community. Often passed over in favor of the term, heterosexist, the latter being less awkward to pronounce.
2. Term used by the same elements to attack gays for being "not gay enough," for being too assimilated, or straight-acting, or for simply getting along too well with straight people.

1. "Dear Maxim:
How dare you write a dating article for men without devoting 50% of all text, pictures, and opinions to the gay community. It is prejudiced and heteronormative not to give the LGBT community exactly 50% of every thought you think....blah, blah, blah......"
"You know, you're really hot, and I think it's really prejudiced and heteronormative that you won't let me hit on you.....hey, where are you going?"
2. "It pisses me off that David's all heteronormative, and won't wear pink or earrings to any of his job interviews. He should represent more!"

Get the Heteronormativemug. A contagious form of sexual dysfunction, often infecting whole countries, and particularly prevalent in Britain and Canada. Manifests itself in the form of violent hatred and/or catty jealousy towards redheaded people, no matter how beautiful, instead of figuring out what else they might be good for. Generally considered one of the strongest arguments in favor of the American Revolution.
Also called gingerism.

"Yeah, I'm datin' a redhead. You see, while you were down sick with gingerphobia, I found out that she's nice, she's hot, and she's basically too good for you. And I certainly ain't goin' out with YOU on my arm on Saturday night, boy! So don't start with me."

Get the Gingerphobiamug. An arrogant, inconsiderate, or dangerous driver, particularly the kind who ignores or harasses cyclists & pedestrians (a merging of gas & asshole). Basically someone who has an inflated ego because they have a car and you don't. Not reserved for any one gender
(In extreme cases, may even be hostile & disrespectful to people who don't have their particular kind of motor vehicle: bus drivers, cab drivers, pick-up truck people, etc. In this case, the expression may be modified to "bushole," "truckhole," or "cabhole," as appropriate.)

"I had the walk signal, and THREE of these gasholes cut me off in succession! By the time they were gone, I couldn't cross!"

Get the gasholemug. Term used in the cycling community for a really gung-ho athletic rider, the kind with an intense training regimen and a "need for speed." Named for their habit of dropping the hammer, or launching into unnecessary bursts of speed, particularly blowing off weaker riders in recreational group rides. In extreme cases, they've been known to blow off traffic lights and laws just to go fast. Too often matching the stock image of the athletic, lycra-clad scofflaw, they're often blamed for perpetuating a lot of ugly stereotypes about people on bikes.
"I get to the intersection on my bike, and just when I get the light, some hammerhead blows off the intersection right across my bath! He cuts me off, AND all those cars. Then they all start honking at me, even when I signal properly, because they think I'm a jerk, too. I'm just trying to get to work!"

Get the Hammerheadmug. Semi-humorous, colloquial term for a range of shoulder-carried bags used by men, implying a resemblance to woman's purse or handbag. Typically used in derogatory fashion, casting aspersions on the wearer's sexuality or masculinity.
The expression may refer to either of two types of luggage:
1) The more proper use of the term, referring to any number of large wallets or small shoulder bags, distinguishable from a woman's bag only by subtleties such as rectangular shape or plain decoration. A cultural equivalent to the fanny pack craze of a generation ago, these are likewise gaining in popularity despite their perceived tackiness. (Whether this is due to their relative practicality, European style, or to the influence of metrosexual culture, is open to debate.)
2) Larger, more masculine carry-alls such as the satchel, shoulder bag, or messenger bag, worn as an alternative to the backpack. Less scornfully viewed than those under the first definition, these have been lately popularized by such fictional characters as Jack Bauer, Indiana Jones, or Chewbacca, and are actively displacing hard-sided briefcases in some quarters. Use of the term in this context is less justified, and indicative of both bitterness and extreme homophobia.

Get the Man pursemug. A slur against "casual" and/or non-militant gun owners, employed by pro-gun extremists. Derived from the Warner Bros. cartoon character, Elmer Fudd, it implies that anyone who does not carry an assault weapon, militarize their hunting & shooting practice, belong to a militia, and/or advocate for the same with fanatical zeal, is somehow stupid, incompetent with their weapon, and out of touch. Essentially, this allows the extremists to marginalize and discount any gun user who isn't crazy.
Look at that <<expletive>>! Showin' up to OUR range with nothing but a Winchester! He don't even have a SCOPE! Them Fudds is gonna be the death of guns in America!

Get the Fuddmug. Derisive, North American vulgarims with 2 shades of meaning:
A) Archaic (WWII-era) army slang for someone whose brand of shit was too small-minded and lame to be called bullshit or horseshit. This was typically an obnoxious, petty tyrant of an officer, particularly the kind who liked to push people around with made-up rules and regulations. Best exemplified in popular culture by the character of Frank Burns on M.A.S.H.
B) A coward; basically calling them chicken, with a 4-letter word tacked on for emphasis.
(Please note that these two definitions CAN overlap.)
