John Boehner (R-OH), who is the current Speaker-elect of the House of Representatives, soon to take the gavel in place of Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA). He earned this nickname courtesy of Joy Behar for crying repeatedly while on camera.
On several occasions, shortly after the 2010 mid-term election, Mr. Boehner was shown crying while giving a speech in front of fellow party members, talking about the "American Dream". Then, a few more times (again) during an interview with CBS' Lesley Stahl, Mr. Boehner starts crying when recalling his days of sweeping the floors of an old bar he used to work for... then cries again when talking about kids "running around" and having a chance at the "American Dream"... and finally, one more time when sitting next to his wife during the interview, he starts crying because, as his wife explains, "he's going through an emotional time", possibly referencing his transition to becoming Weeper... I mean, Speaker.

Now, ladies and gentleman, I am proud to introduce: the new Weeper of the House... John Boehner!

Get the Weeper of the House mug.The garish McMansion on Skyline Drive in Duluth, Minnesota, overlooking Wheeler Field. Famous for its fence cutting off the vista of Duluth/Superior from the public, and the incessant honking of cars as they drive past.
"Wanna take a bike ride on Skyline?"
"Nah, let's drive. My bike horn isn't loud enough for the Honking House."

Get the Honking House mug.place. Cosmopolitan Albertan city ideally located where the heart of the glacial gravel deposits meet the shoulder of the Rocky Mountain alluvial boulder accretions. Industry is quite diversified. Factories where large limestone rocks are pummeled into dust for concrete manufacturing stand arm-in-arm with factories where gravel is carefully sieved for concrete manufacturing.
David Thompson, a Welshman posing as a Scottish Hudson Bay surveyor under an assumed accent, is honoured with a museum and re-created wooden fort on the less-dusty side of town. Each summer a festive re-creation of the stripping of the area's resources by Europeans with an exaggerated sense of entitlement is staged by local actors dressed as fur traders. Lemonade is available.
Shooting Wapiti, deer, rapids, muskrats, mallards, stoneys, goldeye and pool are popular pursuits as are participating in rodeo events and living life large.
Education is a priority as is participation in civic government and watching hockey. Some of the best hockey players in the world have come from near Rocky Mountain House and it is fondly remembered by many players as the place where they first scored.

Let's go to Rocky Mountain House this week-end. We could watch the rodeo, buy a sack of gravel and get our windshield repaired.
So many windshield repair shops! You think there might be a bit too much gravel out that way?

Get the waffle house mug.At a house party, members of the house receive house cup. This automatically moves them to the front of the line for a keg. These cups are generally a different color or type than the regular cups given out.
Honorary house cups can be given out to close friends or people celebrating birthdays. There is generally a limit to the number of house cups each house member is allowed to give out in a night.

Get the house cup mug.You and 4 of your buddies run up to someones house quietly and stand around the house and bang and scream on the outside of the house as loud as you can thus scaring the shit out of them.
old man jenkins was mad that we were throwing the football at his wires, so later that night we gave him a heart attack from a good house screaming.

Get the House Screaming mug.A White American (usually liberal) that goes out of their way to apologize for slavery and being white. Constantly reminds others whites how bad they are, while thinking it gives them moral superiority. Stupid enough to believe white privilege is real. Will throw other white people under the bus to look cool in-front of people of color. To bad people of color just think their weak.
Did you know that Steve let Tyrell put a chain around his neck and lead him around to apologize for slavery. Man Steve is such a house cracker.
