Bessie, the Late Night Lockbox

A small, unremarkable lockbox. Used to store loose change acquired by the staff of "Late Night with Conan O'Brien." Tended by Backstage Larry.

"So what we've done for the past couple of years, is we've had everyone on staff put all the extra change that they come up with whenever they go get a cup of coffee or anything into Bessie, and this money has been building for years and years."
-- Conan O'Brien

Green Lanternism

A belief that political miracles are achieved by sheer will force. Proponents of the Green Lantern Theory have attributed failure and compromise to a lack of presidential willpower. Matthew Yglesias came up with the Green Lantern Theory of Geopolitics* to ridicule conservatives who claimed "the only thing limiting us is a lack of willpower" in foreign policy. The Green Lantern Theory was later applied to the Obama Administration who seemed to lack the will power to make the radical changes in policy such as universal health care, lowering medical costs, banking reform, and peaceful negotiations that people had hoped for., especially after the Republicans took over the US House in 2011.

Bernie supporters are big proponents of Green Lanternism and fail to recognize this kind of “Presidentmania” where the President can get anything done if he really wanted to, fails to take into account the significant amount of bureaucracy legal barriers, and the number players the president has to deal with such as legislators, special interests and Jurists who often do everything in their power to block the president from making these achievements.

Brown Lantern

A finishing maneuver when a man and woman are having sex. As the man is ready to ejaculate he jumps up, turns around and lights a fart as he finishes himself off.

Johnny and Debbie ate at a wonderful mexican restaraunt. That night Johnny gave a Debbie a brown lantern that absolutely blew her away!

Late 2010s

The absolute worst part of the 2010s, where everything from politics, entertainment, society, etc. just got worse over time.

I truly feel sorry for anyone who had to grow up during the late 2010s because that is truly the worst part of the entire shit decade

latebuckler

A person who buckles his/her seatbelt several minutes after getting into the car. In order to be a latebuckler, you must consistently late-buckle in an already moving vehicle.

If you weren't such a latebuckler, you wouldn't have gone through the windshield.
