Gary, Indiana

Gary is a town in NW Indiana named after the founding chairman of U.S. steel, Elbert H. Gary. It was once a nice middle class town with many steel mills and small businesses but ran downhill mainly because of urban decay. Now it has a 25% poverty rate and more than twice as much crime as the US average. Many great people are from Gary, such as the Jackson family, many NFL stars, aswell as actors. Now, Gary remains little more than a poor derelict city. If you happen to drive through Gary, you will notice that it looks more like a post apocalyptic town. NWI locals generally give it the nickname "Scary, Indiana."

You can't drive through Gary, Indiana without seeing bars on windows.

Second Indochina War

(HISTORY-VIETNAM, LAOS, CAMBODIA, USA) War between Communist forces native to the region and anti-Communists from several countries. Waged 1955 to 1975; ended in complete Communist victory. Probably 2.5 to 3.5 million people were killed, mostly in Vietnam, but also in Cambodia (1968-1975) and Laos (1953-1965).

US forces sent to prop up totally artificial "republic" in the south of Vietnam; helped Ngo Dinh Diem fake elections and suppress the population until he tried to cram Catholicism down throats of the Buddhist majority. Killed during coup d'etat 3 weeks before Kennedy assassinated. Military junta ran South Vietnam until it was defeated by the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN). The US military referred to the PAVN as the North Vietnamese Army (NVA), and resistence in South Vietnam itself as "Viet Cong."

In Cambodia, war crept across the border as a result of Ho Chi Minh Trail; ruler, Norodim Sihanouk, tried to contain it through negotiation but in 1970 overthrown by a CIA coup; military junta totally useless and Khmer Communist Party formed an alliance with supporters of the monarchy (GRUNK). Named "Khmer Rouge" by Sihanouk before 1970.

In Laos, pitted Pathet Lao (Communist) against Royal Lao Army. RLA extremely poor, and Western assistance was much less than that of Communist Vietnam. Heavy US bombing there & in Cambodia.

The collapse of South Vietnam in early '75 allowed a total rout of the anti-Communist forces in Indochina.

At the time, journalists tended to speak of the Second Indochina War as three different civil wars, but in reality it was three local movements fighting a foreign occupation (and local collaborators). After the war, a third conflict erupted between Cambodia and Vietnam; the rulers of Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge, murdered an unknown but enormous number of their own people, then were crushed when they went to war with Vietnam.

Laos, tragically, remains horribly affected by huge numbers of unexploded mines.

Music Industry

Something mainstream pop fans confuse with the modelling industry.

The music industry today panders to the lowest common denominator, and those fools confused it with the modelling industry.

Highland, Indiana

A town in northwest Indiana or "the region" that is in between Munster, Indiana and Griffith, Indiana. It is about 40 minutes from Chicago. It is a very middle-class town with a couple upper middle-class areas. It has slightly above mediocre schools and slightly above mediocre people. The town used to be Munster's rival in everything, but as Highland's talent went down in just about everything, Munster decided to divert their energy and talent to more worthwhile rivals like Lake Central and Crown Point. Highland is left to rival Hammond and Griffith which is not really saying much of anything. This town is known for being the town that stole all the good stores from Hammond because Hammond started to become ghetto. Every average store (like Target, Kohl's, Border's, Meijer, Best Buy, Dick's, Marshalls, etc.) you can find in Highland. That is pretty much all the town is good for. It is basically the Ford Taurus of suburbs: BORING.

Girl 1: Highland, Indiana is the most boring place ever! Nothing ever happens.

Girl 2: Want to pretend to be rich and go to Munster?

Girl 1: No, I'd rather pretend to be poor and go to Gary.

Girl 2: Awesome! Let me start the Taurus.

Indifferent Dolores Con Carne

An Indifferent Dolores variant in which the female sits in front of the male holding a stick (roughly 3 to 4 feet long) on which is attached a piece of cooked meat. The male then urinates on the back of the female's head while eating the meat.

I wanted an indifferent dolores con carne, but she can't cook.

indivigies

A new shortened slang interpretation of the word individual. The amount of letters are the same, yet it has less syllables, thus useful in situations where brevity is warranted.

David was disappointed to find out that condoms dont come in indivigies.
