military industrial complex

President Dwight D. Eisenhower coined this term in his farewell address to refer to "a conjunction of an immense military establishment and large arms industry".

Here's how it works: our taxes support a massive military budget which is doled out to large defense contractors. These corporations use this money to buy politicians and impel the United States to enter unending wars in order to assure that their contracts never end and grow increasingly bloated.

Dick Cheney was Defense Secretary, CEO of Halliburton, and then Vice President of the United States, and is a key member of the military industrial complex. It kinda explains why Halliburton is profiteering off all these wars.

Brother Complex

Extreme non-romantic love for ones brother, sometimes similar to worshiping the ground they walk on.

Can also be related to daddy complex where they're filling a void that is missing, but instead looking for guys that are like their brother.

Girl: "So you play WoW?!"

Guy: "Yeah, why do you play too?"

Girl: "Nah, but my older bro does. He's such a sweetheart.... I really miss him...."

Girl: "So do you also play Minecraft?"

Guy: "Let me guess your brother also played that?"

Girl: "Yeah, and he took me out to eat, and walked around with me at midnight, and told me how much he cared about me and would always be there for me. He wants nothing to do with me now though...."

Guy: "Do you have a brother complex or something? Why do you care if I do the same things as your brother?"

paris hilton complex

the personality trait in certain women/girls defined by self-absorption, thinking one is "all that", naivety, obsession with material items such as designer purses, utter indifference to the world's problems, and looking down upon anyone who doesn't fit their perfect little Hollister, Laguna Beach (or in the case of a ghetto fabulous paris hilton complex, Diddy video) outlook on life. Named for Paris Hilton, the epitome of this complex. One does not necessarily have to be rich to carry a paris hilton complex.

girl #1: "OMG who cares about the presidential election? As long as I have my iPhone, Versace handbag, and blonde-haired, blue-eyed perfect-Aryan Abercrombie & Fitch-model boyfriend, i'm in heaven!"

intelligent guy or girl: "God, what a paris hilton complex. Why don't they just send her to Iraq as a human shield for our troops?"

gay complex

1. A condition found in some gay men who think all other men are gay, regardless of whether true or not.

2. Overactive gaydar.

Easily diagnosed in those who claim Chace Crawford from Gossip Girl is actually gay.

Bruno: Chace Crawford is so gay!
Jim: Dude, you wish! Your gay complex is so bad, you think every guy is gay.

Completely Unfounded

1. A legal term that means: "We did it, but you can't prove it. And even if you CAN prove it, we'll drag out the litigation until your great-grandchildren are dead."

Corporate attorneys frequently use this phrase to defend their clients against civil lawsuits. And they get $500 a hour for this nonsense?

2. A kneejerk reaction to any accusation of white collar crime.

The attorney for Goldman Sachs said the government's fraud charges were "Completely Unfounded." After the press conference, he laughed all the way to the bank.

Skidmore Complex

The Skidmore Complex is in effect when any of the following are true:

1) Unattractive men are able to freely and easily hook up with gorgeous, intelligent women.

2) Women are rejected by men who are less attractive than they are.

3) Those in attendance at a party are 30 women and two men.

4) All good looking college men are gay or taken (usually by a high school girlfriend).

5) Male Skidmore alumni are unable to attract women nearly as beautiful as the women they were able to in college.

The Skidmore Complex is most clearly observed at Skidmore College, but may occur at any small liberal arts college in which women outnumber men.

Desk Inferiority Complex

Desk Inferiority Complex is related to office envy and desk envy. A patient who suffers from desk inferiority complex will be working in a company where the desks are so small he or she believes they can't work properly and will need a larger desk. The disease manifests itself only after the patient has noticed that other companies have larger, strikingly bigger, massive, gleaming desks with satisfied looking workers sitting behind. According to Adler, all office workers experience feelings of desk inferiority as children having seen their father's big desks and spend the rest of their lives trying to compensate for those feelings.

John's desk inferiority complex has become so bad that he is now trying to use two desks with the pedestal between his legs.
