The sound made when you flick open a fan to punctuate a sentence. This originated from the youtube series 'UNHhhh' with drag queens, Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova in which Katya would repeatedly flick her fan and the editors decided to add text to every sound.
Trixie: This is nothing, your nothing, your computer's nothing-
Katya: -But this hat mama? Everythaang *Thworp*

Get the thworp mug.The corollary to Poe's Law. Poe's Law is invoked when a parody of fundamentalism is believable enough that it is taken as a legitimate example. Tabor's Law is invoked when bona fide fundamentalism is so outrageous that it is taken as parody.
I think Answers in Genesis is hilarious. For the longest time, I thought it was a parody site. That's Tabor's Law in action.

Get the Tabor's Law mug.An author of fantasy novels for teenagers. Her works include "The Song of the Lioness" quartet (Alanna: The First Adventure, In the Hand of the Goddess, The Woman who Rides Like A Man, Lioness Rampant), "The Immortals" quartet (Wild Magic, Wolf Speaker, Emperor Mage, The Realms of the Gods), and the "Protector of the Small" quartet (First Test, Page, Squire, Lady Knight). These three quartets are set in the imaginary midieval realm of Tortall.
Adding on to those sets in the Tortallan series are the two books of the "Daughter of the Lioness" (Trickster's Choice, Trickster's Queen) and the newest installment, "Beka Cooper" (Terrier). As of yet, Terrier is the only book in this series out.
Pierce also has books not set in Tortall out, like the "Circle of Magic" quartet (Sandry's Book, Tris's Book, Daja's Book, Briar's Book) and follows up on those with "The Circle Opens" (Magic Steps, Cold Fire, Street Magic, Shatterglass (I may have messed up the order there.)) Adding to that is "The Will of the Empress", which I'm not entirely sure belongs to a quartet, but follows "The Circle Opens".
Pierce edited an anthology called "Young Warriors".
In my opinion. Tamora Pierce is one of the most exceptional teen-fantasy novelists out there. Her work is filled with swords, sorcery, talking animals, animals that don't talk but probably should, humor, violence, and assholes you'd love to choke (and usually eventually die anyway, which makes it so much more satisfying).
Ms. Pierce got me into being an avid reader at a young age (and I'm only fifteen now). Therefore, if you want to get your child into reading, I suggest you get them a book by Tamora Pierce. Or read them yourself---they're all good. Her work is much better than that "Eragon" lord-of-the-rings-ripoff crap.

"Wow, Jill. This book was really good. Who was it by again?"
"By Tamora Pierce."
"OHMYGOD. Didn't I read a fanfic about Alanna killing Saphira before?"
"You did! I LOVED that. I wish it would happen."
"Yeah, Eragon sucks."
"I know. Pierce is so much better."
"Oh shiz, is that a randomly-placed H-bomb zooming at us?"
"HOLY---"
boom. explosion.

Get the tatorize mug.Takora will almost always have a hard time opening up to others because she’s been hurt before, she gets attached too easily without even realizing it. She will always look out for friends and family in the face of adversity because she knows what it feels like to feel alone or betrayed. She has a very bad attitude but if you are patient with her she’ll eventually grow out of it.

Get the Tawera mug.A pun that combines the disorder of anorexia with tanning. Is used to describe people, usually white women and teen girls, who are very tan/dark in skin tone. Tanorexics are more specifically women who purposely get tan by either sunbathing frequently or by a fake bake. It was suggested that, like anorexics, they have an addiction to tanning and won't stop no matter how dark they get. Hence, the term tanorexic.
