speak truth to power

A phrase coined by the Quakers during in the mid-1950s. It was a call for the United States to stand firm against fascism and other forms of totalitarianism; it is a phrase that seems to unnerve political right, with reason.
The founders of United States risked their lives in order to speak truth to power, that of King George. It was and is considered courageous, although is more commonly scorned today.

Powder Springs

The dullest most over protected place on the planet. The high schools have bomb threats seized up, difused and suspects tried and convicted before the new finds out that school was even in session. Powder Springs is located in Georgia and is a suburb of the ATL. However they do have good food there and a couple of churches and a ton of hypocrites, so if ya lookin to be judged, then hey swing on down to the south and we will serve you up a whole hot steamy heap of it!

Powerbitch

Adj. A person who is beyond the description of "bitch." The kind of person that would knock you down, take your lollipop, and do your boyfriend, all within 10 minutes, and without feeling remotely bad about it.
Person 1: (PB) Oh, I'm sorry, were you carrying on with your pointless, pathetic life here while I walked down the street not caring? Why don't you give me your lollipop to make it all better?
Person 2: ...
Person 1: *to the boyfriend* My, aren't you a cute one...
Person 2: She is SUCH a powerbitch.

Powder

An overly white caucasian male. However, this is no ordinary pale white male oh no, this young man tends to appear to glow when you turn out the lights, due to his abnormally pale complexion causing such a vast contrast to his darken surroundings. In fact, it has been said that as long as he is in the harbor, there is no need for a light house, just simply strap a lifejacket on him and let him float.
Hey man, this club seems offly bright in here tonight, oh nevermind, didn't realize Powder was in the room.

Power Plug

This is when a man places a flesh light in his anus in order that another man may engage in intercourse with the flesh light while the flesh light is in the other man. Because there is no actual genital contact (unless a reach around is employed), it is technically not gay.
Dude, I power plugged Steve last night. It was genius.
