A term many working classes and deeply religious people use to have an impressionable and coddled young person experience something unpleasant or humiliating, usually hard labor, something embarrassing, or confinement. Results usually end up either having the person's spirit broken or ending up with being just as much of an asshole as the person enforcing it.

A term used by many young people and liberal older people use to describe people over 50 with a stern or formidable personality that believe in harsh discipline and no coddling thinking that being that way will produce a good citizen and a better person. Many old school men believe in hard work for success, women that are not housewives should work only in occupations such as teaching, secretarial work, or nursing, children need to be put in their place and not part of adult conversation, smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol is okay, but marijuana is horrible, and that making a man out of a young boy is not having a deep conversation followed by hugs or tears.

One of the most misunderstood people in the working world, from a white-collar workers point of view. Many are mechanics, electricians, and other technicians making $30-$40 an hour for jobs that most non-union employees would otherwise pay only half that much. Many union employers are those that reel you in and just let you go during the probationary period, even if you prove yourself hardworking and competent, but will keep the lazy and incompetent, just because they are friends with management or well-liked. If you have a blue-collar trade or skill, want to make a good wage, just want to put in a good 8 hours work a day, and no intention of trying to climb the corporate ladder, a union job is well-suited for you. And yes, many union workers are lazy shitbags that take numerous breaks and complain about everything, but there are many others that are honest, hardworking, and dedicated to their jobs. The union reps, with the backup of politicians and the mafia, are the ones who keep things going for the common working man. Many Republicans and conservatives dislike unions because they believe good money should be earned though merit and hard work and that anybody that does not have a college degree and works a skilled trade deserves just enough money to keep themselves fed and a roof over their head

The real world of employment. White-collar workers in the private sector are usually either self-serving pricks that exploit subordinates or office drones that just try to go about their business and suck it up. And the blue-collar workers are those that break their backs working for slave wages just so they can pay their bills and put food on the table. Politics are rampant with most private sector companies that only take care of those that are friends of the boss or management.

An excellent alternative for people too old and/or scared to learn downhill skiing. It is usually done by nordic style walking on trails, some that go up or downhill, or waxed skis that allow you to ski like you're ice skating. Many cold weather cities have beautiful and pleasant trails.

A hot new label that has been out for the past 15-20 years describing a person, usually a boy of school age, that is physically and socially awkward, lacking common sense, has trouble making friends, has obsessive interests that are trivial to most people, and blackballed from the general populace. In the past, many were described as a spaz, reject, goofy, or incompetent.

Children born between the mid-1990's to 2010. The youngest ones are starting elementary school and the oldest ones have been out of high school only a couple of years. They are the sheltered and lifeless spawn of Generation X and early Generation Y'ers that have never known a world without internet and cell phones, America at war with the Middle East, had their parents monitor them even worse than Y'ers, rode in car seats until they were 9 and never in the front seat of cars until they were 10, most go to college even though most high school age kids of this generation can barely read or write or find their own home state on a U.S. map, their music is pretty manufactured and unimaginative, food allergies very commonplace because they've had vaccinations for every disease known to mankind and spend most of their times indoors, unstructured playtime is almost unknown with play dates arranged by their mom's, playground equipment is all plastic with a foam ground underneath, and many are generally bored despite the nonstop use of electronic devices.
