Xyzzy's definitions

reality-based community

Those who put their trust in the facts, as opposed to those who rely on faith. A senior White House aide spoke derisively of the "reality-based community" to reporter Ron Suskind, and the meme spread rather quickly among those who don't think you can get pregnant from masturbation.

Just about anyone who doesn't like Bush.

SUV

Sure to be Under Vehicle.

"Well, I can give you this car with a five-star safety rating, which gets 38 miles a gallon, for twelve grand . . . OR I can give you this SUV which gets ten miles a gallon and hasn't gone through any safety tests at all for twenty-five grand."

"I'll take the SUV!"

privatization

The idea that a middle man will somehow LOWER prices, a.k.a. more perpetual motion from neoliberals.

Privatization's all the rage in Washington right now.

taxpayer

Term for "citizen" used by Republicans, who measure citizenship by how much money you make. Note that how much money you make is not proportional to your income, and that under Bush's tax plans, only income you earn yourself (as opposed to dividends and inheritance) is actually taxed.

Supply-siders bitch that the top 20% pay over 40% of the taxes, but the top 10% control over 90% of the wealth.

tax

1. Money paid to the government for the privilege to live in that state or administrative distribution. Typically, taxes are a portion of one's income which approaches 100% as one's income increases; however, the rich often find ways to cheat on their taxes. There are different types of taxes, as well, depending on how one makes and spends money. Many neoliberals claim taxes are immoral, even though the Bible itself requires a tithe of a flat 10% and a poll tax of one half-sheqel; I'd like to see these people live starting out with a debt ten times what they currently make and not be allowed to earn income.
2. To test.

1. "Most people don't like paying taxes."
2. "This is really taxing my patience."

blackindians

Fake "tribe" started by one Jerry Eaglefeather, an "Apache" from New York. Refer to real Indians as "casino Indians".

"Can you believe those blackindians? It was bad enough when all the wannabes were white."
