kthxbye

A word that stems from the phrase "k thx, bye" (and it's derivitives), which are bastardisations of "ok thanks bye".

This uttering is commonly associated with so-called IRC "lamers" (see lamer) renouned for the overuse of retarded abbreviations (such as the above) during chat sessions.

It is used extensively in IRC geek humour and in-jokes. See the example.

plz2b dieing, kthxbye

flyover country

The middle class Midwest that is typically "flown over" by scheduled airlines in their hops between their major hubs. The bounds of flyover country vary from urbanite to urbanite. People from Chicago tend to think it runs from the Mississippi River to the Rockies (and also Indiana). Bay Area, it's the San Joaquin Valley east to Chicago. New York, it's anything that is not within an hour's drive of The City.

Ray's nightmare came true: His plane made an emergency landing in Tulsa, the capital of flyover country, and his New York accent got him beaten by the locals.
