Shruggin

A form of laughter where you're laughing without a sound. The shoulders are shruggin'.

We were shruggin' at the library when someone told us a funny joke. We were shruggin' so bad, we couldn't breathe!

Atlas Shrugged

Considered by many to be Ayn Rand's greatest work, Atlas Shrugged is a long, pro-capitalist novel in which Ayn Rand sought to portray the ideal man and his effect on society.

"If you saw Atlas, the giant who holds the world on his shoulders, if you saw that he stood, blood running down his chest, his knees buckling, his arms trembling but still trying to hold the world aloft with the last of his strength, and the greater the effort the heavier the world bore down upon his shoulders—what would you tell him to do?"

"I…don’t know. What…could he do? What would you tell him?"

"To shrug."

Atlas Shrugged

Ayn Rand's fourth and most expansive novel. The theme of Atlas Shrugged is that independent thinking, and the creativity and inventiveness that comes from this, is the motor that runs the world. In Atlas Shrugged, Rand argues that if the "men of the mind" went on strike, the motor of the world would shut down and civilization would fall apart. This book is an important acheivement for Rand, because it is the most comprehensive basis for her philosophy Objectivism which champions individual rights and the only political system that protects them Capitalism.

"Atlas Shrugged was so awesome."

shruggles

A variation of the word "shrug," connected to the word "muggle" (which means commoner), denoting indifference, surrender, and acceptance of defeat to what the user perceives as an everyday occurrence. The "cutesy" nature of the word further underscores the user's indifference, as does the plural suffix.

"I failed another organic chemistry exam today. Shruggles. Good thing I decided I don't want to be a doctor anymore. I want to be a lawyer."
