tibet

A region under the control of China since Kublia Khan claimed it under the Yuan Dynasty. When the Ming dynasty defeated the Mongols, they inhereted the territory and communication continued throughout the Ming dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, China sent residential commissioners called amban to Lhasa and these amban are equal rank to the Dalai Lama. After the fall of the Qing, china became a republic under the nationalist government and Britain, Tibet and China decide what to do with Tibet. Britain recognized Tibet as under chinese Suzerainty just like Russia recogzized Mongolia. Similiar to Mongolia, the British drew up an agreement where Tibet will be seperated into outer Tibet (modern day Tibet) ruled by the Dalai Lama and inner tibet (parts of present day sichuan and qinghai) where the religous aspect will be ruled by the Dalai Lama. Unlike Mongolia with the russians, the nationalist party never signed the agreement. Tibet as well as other provinces enjoyed de facto independence when the Chinese nation was torn by warlordism, Japanese invasion, and civil war (1911-1949). However the nationalist still maintain sovereignty over Tibet. Through the Succession of states theory in international law (Yuan, Ming, Qing, ROC, PRC)Tibet is still part of China and is now legally a province of China just like Xin Jiang and Inner mongolia. Tibet is also known as Xizang to the chinese meaning western treasure.

Tibet (Xizang)is a province in the west of China.

Tibbe test

The Tibbe test is a test one uses to measure the thickness of a penis by using a toilet paper roll. You simply try to put your erected penis through the hole on the toilet paper roll. If the penis stops because of massive girth, you have passed the tibbe test and you have the penis of a champion, girth wise. If the penis goes right through, you have failed. And if the penis doesn't stop, nor comes out the other end, you have failed in an epic way.

Roy: So bro, did you pass the tibbe test?

Steve: Yeah, I had no chance getting my beast in that thing. It stopped right at the beginning.
Roy: Wow, you must be really well hung, a real BWC.

tilexz

two actors who deny they are together and try to hide their love interest in each other, which is very hard;

and the fan shipping of the two actors from instant star, alexz and tim, and when put them together you get tilexz.

It's so obvious that in 18 Part 1, the love scene was sooo tilexz rather than jommy.

Tile Comet

When one exits the restroom with a lengthy piece of toilet paper stuck on the bottom of their shoe.

Albert walked out of the restroom with a very lengthy Tile Comet on his right shoe. He tried to use his left foot to remove it, then ended up with a Tile Comet on his left shoe as well.
