The Tower Formerly Known as Sears

A moniker for the recently renamed Willis Tower in Chicago, formerly known as Sears Tower from 1973-2009.

Used by Chicagoans to avoid using the name Willis Tower.

Similar in structure to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, which the music artist Prince crafted for legal reason to produce music outside the control of his corporate music label, until such time as he could regain his rightful name.

farker

Someone lacking the wit necessary for the SomethingAwful forums who likes to hang out with other knuckledragging, adolescent semiliterates. Poor spelling, poor Photoshop skills, and a complete lack of a sense of humor are a must, and it helps to be twice as opinionated as you are informed about any particular issue. It's also essential that you don't mind seeing the same retarded cliche catchphrases and images posted over and over again; these people haven't seen a new joke in years, and wouldn't recognize one if it showed up.

You would get banned from the SA forums for being as unfunny and ignorant as the best poster on Fark.
"Did you see that the sixth grade kid who fell off the monkeybars and landed on his head is finally back in school this year? Word has it that the brain damage was so severe that he's become a farker."
