an operating system which uses more RAM than the typical system and automatically installs Microshaft's own Internet Expirer browser on your system, then won't allow you to remove it, thus allowing Bill Gates to view your system personally. It also self-upgrades, thus taking up your memory with Borg implants. Did I mention that some versions uninstall all non-MS products? Also expect to view the blue screen of death at least once a day, sometimes twice.

Wannabe Indian ethnic studies professor whose credentials no one bothered to check until he questioned Bush. Unlike David Yeagley, a wannabe Indian who couldn't decide his field and follows Bush lock-step and therefore is unquestioned even though his credentials are as suspect as Churchill's.

Get the craniorectal inversion mug.
Term for "citizen" used by Republicans, who measure citizenship by how much money you make. Note that how much money you make is not proportional to your income, and that under Bush's tax plans, only income you earn yourself (as opposed to dividends and inheritance) is actually taxed.
Supply-siders bitch that the top 20% pay over 40% of the taxes, but the top 10% control over 90% of the wealth.

Japanese instant noodles which come in cup or block form, popular with college students (who can't afford anything else) and otaku (who just like anything Japanese). As a connoisseur of cheap DIY meals, I've developed means of assigning ramen a rating on a scale of zero to four stars: One half-star for every flavor packet beyond the first, one star if it comes in its own cup, an extra half star if that comes with its own meat or vegetables, and a star and a half if the dry noodles don't remind me of Play-Doh.
