To have a joke (esp. a joke designed to offend a specific target) reversed upon onesself.
The term arose out of a widely criticized June 1991 speech given by New Jersey Republican Bob Michel at a political convention in Richmond, Virginia. Given as part of a reactionary address concerning the then-recent assassination of India's sixth Prime Minister, Rajiv Ratna Gandhi. While actual records of the speech are nonexistent, the media at the time condemned the speech, calling it "racist to an insane degree". It is unknown how or if the meaning of the word has changed relative to its original semantic intent, but new age linguist and street linguists today are often confuzzled by the degree to which the public reacted immediately following the June address, especially when contrasted with the modern definition.

Get the Raine mug.Related Words
A surreally seductive and beautiful location where many potentially breathtaking selfies have sadly never been sent to anyone due to the fact that the heroic selfie seekers had slid unexpectedly and precipitously to their deaths, tumbling to the savage bottom of this steep and slippery ravine.
It was a truly horrific tragedy, after the Labor Day weekend, we found at least fifteen Summer clothing-clad bodies still clutching their shattered cellphones at the bottom of Selfie Ravine.

Get the Selfie Ravine mug.A girl with the name Raine can be very shy at first, but she doesn't show it. Once a Raine gets to know you some, she may get a little crazy. Raine is usually artistic with some form of artistic talent. Raine’s have the most gorgeous eyes that you can get lost in. This girl is usually romantic and falls in love easily. She is very smart and a big procrastinator. Raine’s are very soft on the inside, but they don't let their emotions show to just anybody. They usually hide their emotions for fear of affecting other people's happiness. Raine’s are great and loyal friends and they can cheer anybody up. Raine’s are good at telling what mood people are in just after a few minutes, so don't try to hide your emotions from them. If you know a Raine, I suggest you confined in her as a friend, as she WILL keep all secrets you share private, and she will never let you down. Raine’s are good problem solvers and are very flexible with schedules.
Raine: Hey do you want to hang out tonight?
Friend: I can't, I have to do my homework.
Raine: I don't have any homework, but I can go and help you so you we can hang out and you can get your homework done.
Friend: Sounds great, Thanks!

Get the Penis Ravine mug.She is really special and pretty amazing. She has dark hair, fair skin, and dark beautiful eyes. She is a great friend, and always knows what to say in a time of need. She is usually a wonderful kisser and certainly has lots of sex appeal. Boys are intimidated by her, and girls are jealous of her. She usually falls for the wrong type of guy, ending up with a broken heart. She is a very sensitive person but very emotionally strong. She won't take any bullshit and has a good heart.
-Raine walks by, earphones on, eyes closed, day dreaming but her steps are graceful.-
