Anchorage, Alaska

A metropolis of some 260,000 in Alaska that is a few thousand miles away from any other large city in North America and where half the state lives. Despite its isolation, crime is relatively high, especially in the Mountain View, Muldoon, and Spenard neighborhoods. Winters are cold and dark, but manageable and summers are nice and mild with temperatures rarely going above the high 70's. The middle and upper middle classes live mostly west of Minnesota Drive and south of Dimond Boulevard. There is no interstate highway system in the city except for a few miles of the New Seward Highway, the southern part of Minnesota Drive, and between Northway Mall and the Mat-Su Valley. Almost all of the homes in it like the rest of Alaska are wood frame or other composite. It is the only major city in America that has both downhill and cross country skiing in it.

land anchor

A seatbelt that's been left outside a car when the driver closed the door. The metal end flaps and clunks against the side of the car. If enough belt is outside the door, the metal buckle drags along the road throwing up an occasional spark. More common occurrence in older land yachts with old school style seatbelts. Driver is typically clueless and doesn't hear it or doesn't figure out what that clunking noise was until he's parked and opens his door.
Dude! Check Grampa in theland yacht up there. His land anchor's been deployed and it's sparking like crazy.

Troll-anche

A natural occurrence of idiocracy.

A metaphorical mass of "pwnage" falling rapidly down any form of group communication (e.g. forum, blog, wall post, conversation, etc.) directed at a single person or group resulting in them being buried beneath the trolling of their pride, credibility, intellect or any other interpretation of their social worth based on reputation, education or lack thereof.
Person 1: Power-lifting and Strongman events are real workouts, CrossFit is just an easy way of getting injured.

Person 2: Oh you think so, why don't you come try a workout at the CrossFit gym with "us" today?

Person 1: You don't even know how hard I kill it in the gym everyday.

Person 2: First off why are you avoiding my workout invitation?

Person 3: You can't go talking down about something you have no idea about, when you haven't even tried it; plus I'm sure that if I went to the gym with you I could do everything you do in relation to our weight and weight being lifted.

Person 4: Did this guy just go from speaking in generalities, quantitative data, to rebutting with his qualitative experiences because he has no empirical data to back his shit it up?

Person 5: I think person 1 just got "Troll-anched"
