A website, ostensibly created as a resource and a snapshot of the phenomenon known as "urban language".
A practically unmoderated, unsupervised word database, whose users can add their definitions of words they have used, or have made up without fear of identification.
Of course, thanks to human nature, no one uses it that way. Surprisingly, people are upset about this, despite its inevitability.
Which once again illustrates human nature.

A player of a game that seeks to use the system to dominate and frustrate other players.
This is typically not a problem when dealing with games that encourage competitive playing, but swiftly becomes a problem when the objective of the game is not to defeat your opponenet, either real or perceived, but to co-operate and socialize with other players.
As such, power-gamers are the bane of certain role-playing games, social games and online games like wordMUD/words and their ilk, and games where not everyone wants to make you their bitch.
However, certain games suit powergamers well -- games like Monopoly and the (now discontinued) Paranoia RPG setting by West End Games.

Well, yeah, Fabian is a power-gamer... he's a wonderful person to be with, and very accommodating, but never, ever, play against him -- you'll just end up hating him.

A doctrine, originally formulated during the 18th and 19th century as women's emancipation and suffragetism, that advocated the emancipation of women and attempts to get everyone else to recognize that women have equal rights to men.
Modern feminism is characterized by its doctrine of 'expanding choice for both genders', as feminists ostensibly desire a society where not only women may be allowed to do whatever they please (within reasonable, human limits), but to also allow men to enjoy the same freedoms as women should, which should include the choice of NOT doing something, if they do not wish to do so.
Unfortunately, thanks to misunderstanding and human nature, nobody really believes in this shit anymore, and people stereotypically associate feminists with hairy-armpit owning dykes who hate all men, and opponents of feminists as hairy boorish pig-subhumans.

It's fucking sad, but feminism is a great example of why humanity is a damn sight dumber than everyone likes to believe.

An inept politician. An Alpha Male. Someone who didn't read the constitution, and who doesn't understand the structure and reason for the Electoral College.

One of the top fifteen factors that can transform a reasonable, amiable, friendly person with reasonable, friendly beliefs and ideas into a ranting, screaming, judgemental zealot with poisonous, nauseating, self-righteous dreck for beliefs.
Persecution complex can strike anyone, regardless of belief, creed or religion, or whether they disagree with you or not. Once you start believing that the whole world is against you, you begin to justify your abominable actions by the presumed hostility of the world. Mind you, it's a great way to not only make enemies, but also an excellent way of making people reject your beliefs and idealogy.
