Puhonix

Stereotypically duh-weebish way of pronouncing Phoenix, as presented by a commercial that targets duh-weebs.

Everybody knows that Phoenix is the capitol of Arizona, even that duh-weeb on the commercial that calls it Puhonix!

Flagstaff?!? Ha ha ha ha ha...

constituency

In the language of politicians and those who govern, the constituency are those who are governed, or supposedly represented, by legislators and executive officials.

Legislators really represent attorneys. See politician, legislator, attorney, and conflict of interest for further details.

In a true Democracy, the constituency would be self-governing. However, that might endanger the livelihood of legislators and politicians, so it isn't done that way.

when

1. Conditional, based upon time, event, or circumstances.

2. Slang, specific to junk mail advertising lotteries and sweepstakes to persuade as many duh-weebs as possible who haven't even entered a sweepstakes that they have already won: "if".

1. When you finish your chores, you may play; when it's dark, come inside.

2. You are guaranteed to win at least $250,000 when you return the winning number to us. (The fact that the recipient does not have the winning number, so he may as well go fly a kite, is not expressed.)
