The biggest and longest running joke ever to be pulled by a state or nation in history.
The joke is that some people get together somewhere and map out a place to set up cones and tear up the road. Setup then involves blocking off a half mile strip of road on either side of the workzone, and proceeding to jackhammer the hell out of the asphalt.
The punchline is everyone that has to drive through the workzone, as the workers not jackhammering (all of them) laugh at the frustrated looks on peoples faces as they go by, late for work by at least half an hour or more thanks to a four lane highway being shrunken to one lane.
Once the "work" is supposed to be done, or when a new place is found, the workers pull up stakes and move, leaving the road the same as it was before they came, or worse.
This has been going on since before recorded history in Utah, although no record has currently been found as to whether it started with the laying of asphalt in Utah, or merely when roads were established.

Get the Utah Road Construction mug.Sorry, I was constracted due to the interesting conversation those people are having, how did you fix this?
Have you figured out the problem yet? "No I was constracted."

Get the Constracted mug.A rhetorical technique used (often by a neurotic undergraduate a with a Yoko Ono tattoo) to deny the existence of irrefutable fact. But this is not its original meaning:
Properly understood, a social construct is a thing that emerges as a result of social interaction. For instance, the price of gold is a social construct—it emerges from the market for gold as an approximation of how society presently values gold in relation to another asset, usually currency.
Social constructs are no less "real" than the price of gold is "real." It's not as real as gold itself, but it's pretty damn real.

Get the social construct mug.When some dipshit knows the lanes are merging into one because of a construction zone and they drive all the way to the end of the lane closing and cut you off at the last second, making them a Construction Cutfuck.
I was having a great day until that "construction cutfuck" made me slam on my breaks and made me want to beat the shit out of them.
Good thing I didn't have my AK-47 because I would have let that "construction cutfuck" take a few shells to his car.

Get the Constănțeanca mug.A level for the popular HL2 Mod 'Garry's Mod' designed to test all of the then-current source engine technologies in a single map.
The map has undergone several iterations since it's creation in GMod v.10, but has prominently featured a water pool, a small interior and a construction area.
The version of gm_construct currently (August 2011) included with Garry's Mod on Steam is version 2.3.
