Country activity carried out by normal, wage-earning, mortgage/tax-paying people, but which is vilified by town-dwellers because foxes look cute and TV tells them that "people who hunt are toffs" (although why being a toff is bad is not clear - inverted snobbery).
Hunting is as much fun as it possible to have. It will probably get banned, but we will carry on doing it anyway. Much police, CPS and court time will be wasted on trying to enforce a ban, meanwhile real crime continues unabated.

The intellectual elite, but the term only seems to apply in eastern european and some asian societies. People like Stalin and Pol Pot seemed to target this group for annhilation for no obvious (i.e. sane) reason.

A form of armchair expert who gains all their knowledge from the internet and then enlightens others on social media. The accuracy of their source information may be suspect, their analysis and conclusions are likely flawed, but they will shout down anyone who dares to challenge their expertise in the field.
In an online discussion of tractors on a newspaper website I posted that a problem with modern tractors was that a fault with the electronics could stop them dead and require a technician with a laptop to fix. An Internet Expert informed me that it was always possible for a modern tractor to "limp home" however bad the failure "in his experience".
I pointed out that I was a farmer and that for example on a Massey 5465 with Dyna 4 the gear selection is electronic, the rear hydraulics are electronic and a fault in either could strand a tractor in the middle of a field (no power or stuck anchored to the ground by a harrow or plough). The Internet Expert went very quiet!

The opposite of duct tape.
Like matter and anti-matter, these 2 must never be brought in contact or the universe will be destroyed.
WD Stands for Water Displacement and it took the developers 40 attempts to get a formula which worked. Convair, an aerospace contractor, first used WD-40 to protect the outer skin of the Atlas Missile from rust and corrosion.

Statistical analysis software used a lot in 6-sigma/process excellence programmes. The interface is a bit clunky, but the stats behind it is spot on.
It is boring because it just does what it is supposed to do. No fuss, no hassle, no crashes...

I threw my gauge R&R data in to MINITAB and it confirmed what I suspected - the instrument is useless for measuring to the required tolerance.

They protect the 2nd amendment - the right to bear flintlock muskets...in a properly consituted milita.
I don't see any mention of assault rifles, self-loading pistols, etc. in there.
How many of their members are members of the army reserve, national guard, etc?
