Stolen Valor-
1) When a civilian who was never military, therefore never earned the rights and privileges associated with the honor of wearing the uniform, wear one due to any of the following reasons:
A.To get discounts or free services/drinks, etc at stores or cafes.
B. They are trying to attract the attention of the opposite sex, or they just want people's attention and thanks.
2) When a real soldier wears decorations and devices, and ranks that they never earned. For example, a real U.S. Army Private could easily give himself the Medal of Honor by looking it up online and buying one.
Most of the time, civilians have no idea how to properly wear the uniform. This includes stringent grooming and uniform standards not being followed (i.e. long beards, wearing covers indoors, tucking in blouses, wrong undershirts), putting patches in the wrong places, mixing different patches, ranks/rates (i.e. wearing PO3 ranks on an Army Uniform while claiming to be a PFC), not having an I.D. card or mixing information (i.e. saying they are Army but trained at Parris Island and Penelton,) or wearing the wrong uniforms or wearing it incorrectly(i.e. wearing the M.C.C.U.U off base or using the outdated Battle Dress Uniform) Oftentimes, these create hilariously inaccurate results, such as a person claiming to be a Marine Gunnery Sergeant wearing an ACU with M81 camo scheme, Airborne and Ranger tabs, a SEAL device, and ribbons on a Utility uniform.

Get the Solána mug.A fictional zombie virus invented by satirial writer Max Brooks (son of Mel Brooks, who was the director of Space Balls). The virus "Solanum" attempts to justify the hack work of George Romano by describing an entirely impossible zombie virus. Accoring to Max Brooks, zombies are somehow reanimated by a virus that allows the body to function with no blood circulation, no oxygen, and no ATP (which is absolutely required for muscle movement). This is definately the most far fetched viral zombie that has been suggested, but it is often used as a benchmark by zombie survivalist groups, particularly OZORT, as a worst case scenario zombie virus.
If Solanum can reanimate long dead corpses and allow them to run around with coagulated blood and no glucose, why can't it also make them fly and instinctively know kung fu?

Get the solanum mug.The famous R&B singer. Known more for her role as Camille in Bring It On All Or Nothing, & Johnson Family Vacation. Good singer, even better actress. Shes no "soul girl equipped with no afro" shes just her "GOD GIVEN NAME." Solange is not her (Beyonce`) and never will be. Their just "two girls going in different directions, traveling towards the same galaxy. Her starlight shines on it's own, shes no sister, shes just her God Given Name."
Solange is a good singer. Shes unique in her own way at things that she does. Shes a wonderful actress.
