Get the Tom Cruise mug.Noun.
1. A large warship, well armed and equally capable of operating in fleet air defense, anti-submarine, and flagship roles. Larger than a destroyer, it is usually the largest warship in most navies today, short of aircraft carriers. Few navies can afford to build cruisers or buy them second-hand, so a fleet with even a single cruiser is considered respectable. Although very common among navies until the end of the Cold War, cruisers are expensive to operate and are now only found in the navies of the United States (27), Russia (8), Peru (2), and Italy (1).
NATO standard designations for cruisers are: CL (light cruiser, no longer used), CA (heavy cruiser, no longer used), CC (command cruiser, no longer used), CB (battlecruiser, no longer used), CG (guided missile cruiser), and CGN (nuclear-powered guided missile cruiser, now only in use in Russia).

Get the Tom Cruise mug.Not a real car, "Land Cruiser" is a real car. Not as dumb as a car as the other uneducated idiot described above. It is the most reliable SUV and won't break down as easily as a Ford Explorer or Chevrolet Suburban, which are both truly unreliable and are way uglier. Let's face it, Japanese manufacturing is superior to America's and there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Redneck: I'd rather not have any vehicle then buy a Japanese SUV! Especially a Land Cruiser! Or should I say "Toyota Lard Cruiser!"
Me: You won't survive life. Ever.
