Get the trials and tribulations mug.The term trad skin originally referred to skinheads who uphold the traditions of the 1960s British skinhead subculture. This meant listening to soul and ska, dressing smart,and being NON-RACIST. Trads didn't care much for Oi! music; they considered it thug rock for bald punks.

The collective nickname for three major fraternities founded at Miami University; Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi. Phi Kappa Tau was founded at Miami also, but for whatever reason isn't included in this collective nickname.
At some schools the three fraternities usualy come together (and pretend that they like each other)to have one major social every year.

The "Miami Triad" social this weekend will be a TOTAL sausage fest. At least it usually attracts some sexy soro-chics like the Chi Os, Gamma Phis and DZs.

Get the Miami triad mug.When someone makes a horrible trade in fantasy football crippling their ability to succeed. After the trade their chances of winning are about the same as an AIDS patient versus Peyton Manning.
I just learned Julio Jones, my starting wide receiver, is out for the season. Then I realized that I still had a trade pending for him from Eat a Vick. When I clicked accept and got Torry Smith and Jordan Cameron for Julio Jones and Heath Miller, Eat a Vick contracted a full blown case of trAIDS!

Get the Triad mug.1692, in Salem (now Danvers), Massachusetts, fourteen women and six men were executed on charges of witchcraft because of the antics of a group of girls and young women.
The girls, who were most likely acting and seeking attention, had been screaming hysterically, thrashing about, uttering strange sounds, and were generally acting in very aberrant ways. Owing to the already tense atmosphere of the village, people suspected witchcraft and, upon hearing the testimonies from these "possessed" girls, they were willing to follow whatever the girls said. The Puritans, as humorless and superstitious as always, were convinced that God had abandoned them.
By October of that year, nineteen people were hanged, one man was pressed to death under a board weighted with rocks, and hundreds had been jailed. It was only when the girls began accusing ministers, men, children, the wealthy... and the governor's wife of witchcraft that the authorities finally intervened and stopped the trials.

The Salem Witch Trials would probably not have gone very far had the girls named very respectable people first, but they first named outcasts, people who were already suspect by the community, such as Sarah Good (an irritable beggar) and Sarah Osborne (a bedridden old woman who rarely went to church). But soon the accused included highly unlikely people: the arrests of Rebecca Nurse (a pious, elderly matriarch, highly respected by the community) and Martha Corey (pious and respected, but skeptical about the credibility of the girls) shocked Salem; it meant that anybody could be a witch.
The youngest accused: four-year-old Dorothy Good, the daughter of Sarah Good, who probably confessed to be with her mother in jail. While spared, Dorothy lost her mother and was traumatized for the rest of her life.
Now the Salem Witch Trials are invoked to recall Joseph McCarthy's legacy or any other irrational panic that leads to scapegoats.
