Kelly: "I love shopping at the fresh market but... do you smell that?"
Kelly: "It smells like ramen noodles mixed with cheap fabric softener."

Get the Young Professional mug.A type of art that is enjoyed by both guys and girls which has long since been forgotten in the public mind since the total commercialization of all music in the 1980s. Further legitimized rock and roll by mixing it with elements of jazz and classical music. However, most progressive rock fans fail to recognize that at the core of all progressive rock is the blues.
Progressive rock was perfected in the 1970s by the Canterbury Scene musicians. Contrary to popular belief, bands such as Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis, Rush and ELP are not the end-all, be-all of progressive rock.

1. The new Derogatory term for "Libtard" aka "Liberal" aka "Commie" or "Socialist".Because Republicans have ruined & destroyed the name "Liberal". When people think of them as "Liberals", it is the equivalent to 'Rapist' or 'Child Molester'. Hence, the name-change.
2. Someone terrified by the idea that someone, somewhere, might be earning money.
3. Someone who wants to move the country progressively closer to Socialism or Communism. See Marxist, Communist or Socialist. They call themselves "Progressives" because using "Communist" would give them a negative connotation in the public eye.
4. Liberal + Communist/Socialist beliefs = Progressive

Get the gracious professionalism mug.When a person with a full-time professional career (i.e. doctor, engineer, lawyer) spends all their extra money and free time on high end ski gear and ski trips. Professional ski bums live for winter and will spend any amount of money and PTO to indulge their powder hound desires. Within reason. Professional ski bums are differentiated from regular ski bums by their desires to also own a home, have a girlfriend, a nice car, a career, a retirement plan, and to smell nice.
Professional Ski Bum 1: I have saved up 20 days of PTO! We should take a killer trip to Chamonix this season!
Professional Ski Bum 2: I just bought a pair of skis during the DPS Dreamtime that would make shredding Chamonix sick!
Co-worker: So what are you doing this weekend?
Professional Ski Bum: I'm going skiing.
Co-worker: Skiing? But it's the middle of August!? It hasn't snowed for months, and it won't snow for a few weeks more!
Professional Ski Bum: Uhh, it's winter in Patagonia, and Bariloche is supposed to get close to 2 feet! FYI, I won't be in the office on Monday. Or Tuesday. And possibly Wednesday.
