Super intense sport played by the toughest, and most mentally unstable athletes ever, who have no conscience in the pool and who believe that breathing is not required for life functions. Field players are fast and vicious. Goalies are often nicknamed "beasts". Suits are worn 4 sizes too small, so that they don't get pulled off during the game. It requires endurance, speed(ability to sprint when you are drowning), and excellent ball handling while being attacked. Must also have an extremely quick mind, to be able to visualize every possible play in under 2 seconds, and to make split second descisions when outnumbered 3 to 1.
Water polo players are identifiable by their chlorine hair, strong legs, and often their bigger-than-the-other shoulder.

1) Person: wow, how do you breathe in those tight suits? while being chased? and drowned?
Water polo player: what? oh, you get used to it :)
2) Person 1: Damn, is it just me, or are those girls' shoulders lopsided?
Person 2: oh, they must be water polo players

Investigator 2: "You didn't seriously just say that. What is it?"
Investigator 1: "From the looks of these financial records, it looks like the mayor embezzled some of the federal grant money he received to build that water gate to protect the town from floods."
Investigator 2: "Really? Well I'll be a monkey's uncle - you're right!"
Investigator 1: "What to call this scandal...I've got it! Because it's a scandal involving a gate, we can add the prefix 'water-' and call it watergate!"
Investigator 2: "No, that's already taken. I think it would be better, since it's a scandal involving water, to add the suffix '-gate' and call it watergate! No, wait, never mind, that's the same thing."

Get the water- mug.*noun*, term used in economics to refer to the New Classical economics. The fresh water school was lead by Robert E. Lucas, Thomas J. Sargent, and Robert Barro; its position was that fiscal policy and monetary policy are doomed to be ineffective, since they rely on "fooling the public."
Instead, they argued that even tax cuts had no stimulus effect (in contrast to "supply side economics"), and of course they were resolutely opposed to government spending. Instead, the fresh water school maintained that a recession was caused by markets adjusting to a technology shock to create a structurally different economic system. The best thing to do was to allow the markets to restructure industry on their own.
The fresh water school was known for their support of the "rational expectations hypothesis" (REH) and "real business cycle" (RBC) theory.

But lately, a ...school of skeptics who think the Government usually just gums things up is gaining attention and influence. The skeptics are known as the "fresh water school," less for the purity of their thought than for their origins at universities along the shores of the Great Lakes.
