Anytime "band nerds" or "band geeks", congregate somewhere to chill, hang out, and prove that, of course, it's only the people who aren't in band that aren't cool.

Get the Band partymug. In the United States of America, usually a low-set, sorta narrow building that is home to a bunch of bowling lanes where people play the game and sport that is bowling. Often smoky (even if smoking is supposedly not allowed), sometimes dark and dingy, often a good time to be had. Some have bars, and many have family nights, cosmic bowling (bowling with the regular lights out and flashing lights and stuff) Saturday morning leagues, and other fun activities.
Various people will gravitate to bowling alleys, including families, serious bowlers, large groups, kids, teens, and guys who like to drink beer, smoke, and hang out with their friends.

Get the bowling alleymug. A hackysack is a small, usually woven fabric ball with some kind of filling that makes it soft and flexible.
The game of hackysack is usually played by standing in a circle and taking turns kicking the ball with one's feet/legs. The ball is passed to other people in the circle, and the idea is for everyone to kick it without the ball touching the ground. Because hackysack players are often found at varying skill levels, in practice this is more challenging than it sounds unless you have an experienced group of people playing.
Other variations of this game can be found as well.
Hackysack tends to be identified with stoners, hippies or wanna-be hippies, and the like, but in reality these stereotypical groups are not the only people that play it. If you've got time to kill, it can be a fun game for anyone.

Get the hackysackmug. A person who decides to become a vegetarian but does not really eat any vegetables. They will often eat bread products, plain pizza, cereal, or various types of junk food because they contain no meat. However, this can be unhealthy because they aren't getting balance in their diet. It will also not help them if they are trying to lose weight.

Get the breaditarianmug. 1) One of the states of the United States of America.
Home to a bunch of formerly bad but now improving pro sports teams, a ton of colleges, the OSU Buckeyes, actual buckeyes, part of the Rust Belt, Cedar Point and a lot of soybeans, cows, and corn.
Ohio contains a little bit of all the typical Midwestern environments- college towns, suburbs, cities, urban areas trying to reinvent themseles, farmlands, etc. It also contains part of Appalachia, and a large number of "swing voters". It has quite a few ardent liberals and conservatives, and has been the home and/or birthplace of eight presidents. The weather, it being part of the Midwest region, is often "crazy" and swings between hot, mild, cold, and freezing. The four seasons are widely known to be "winter, still winter, almost winter, and construction" or something to that effect (believed to be taken from a Jeff Foxworthy chain email).
There's definitely a lot more there than bad drivers, "hicks", and cows, and just driving through the state does not really do it justice. You've got to experience it to really understand it, and then you can pass judgement.
2) A song written by Neil Young (while he was working with Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young) in response to the Kent State Massacre, which occured at Kent State University in Ohio on May 4, 1970 when National Guardsmen opened fire on student protesters on the KSU campus.

1) "Ohio... the heart of it all"
2) "This summer I hear the drumming,/ Four dead in Ohio."- Neil Young, (Crosby,Stills, Nash, and Young), "Ohio"

Get the ohiomug. 1)Positive Connotation:
The state of getting and or becoming "educated" therefore giving you the chance to succeed in life.
At it's most basic level, in the US, graduating from high school, or getting a General Equivalent Diploma. (Hey, if you don't have a diploma, eventually even Micky D's won't want you anymore if more qualified applicants show up. And if you can't read, write, or do basic artithmetic, you can't do a lot of things.)
However, in the United States, most "educated" people have been to a two or four year college and have some form of degree, thus making them elgible for at least slightly better jobs.
For this reason, many adults tell their kids to stay in school and get a good education, so they can be sucessful in life.
2)Negative connotation:
A system run by the state that screws you over, where you learn nothing of importance and must take tons of standardized tests while enduring a dumbed-down curriculum, the main focus being to keep the children just educated enough that they can grow up, take jobs, and become cogs in the wheels of the system, in what is inevitably an "assembly line" approach. In short, the Man's way of stifiling young creativity and brainwashing the youth of the nation.

1) "The reason I know the meaning of the word 'connotation' is because I go to school and get myself an education."
2) "Kids in the US often hate the education system, and feel it stifles their individuality and creativity. However, in third world nations, many kids would love the chance to go to school, even if it's crappy and state-run, because they're stuck working all day without minimum wage."

Get the educationmug. 1) In the book Be More Chill by Ned Vizzini, a "squip" is a tiny microcomputer that is ingested in pill form and travels to your brain, where it gives you instructions on how to be cool and/or popular. No such techonology yet exists (stuff somewhat similar in concept to this is being developed, though).
The squip is deactivated/destroyed by drinking Mountain Dew Code Red, the short-lived, highly caffenated Mountain Dew spinoff.
2)Originally, this idea was part of Ned Vizzini's largely sucessful (in some places, anyway), campaign to draw attention to his book, Be More Chill.
The campaign was based around the use of stickers that said "SQUIP? Google it.", which fans were encouraged to get for free off of his website and stick wherever they could.
As a result, many people did Google squip, and in the process stumble upon the book.
