Get the cocktail socialist mug.Striving to be socially better or more fun than everyone else in the room just for bragging rights. This often includes creating random adventures and outings just to have a story to tell the next day.
Lysa: So what did you do yesterday?
G'na: I totally went out on a Tuesday night, won a dance off and received a drunken marriage proposal from a 41 year old man named Skip.
Lysa: Oh, I finished my novel.
(As you can see G'na was socially competitive and blew Lysa's recap of her night out of the water)

Get the SoCalTundras mug.Billy Bragg, a folk-punk performer. Best known in England for espousing the virtues of being a working class man and then moving the fuck out of his blue collar 'hood in Essex asap. Certainly a fine musician, widely acclaimed for killer albums such as Back to Basics and his respectable tributes to Joe Strummer (of the only band that matters, the ClashTM), he is fond of "pontificating on a South London council estate when we all know he lives in a lovely big house in West Dorset".
GI Dave: OMG Billy Bragg! Dude, I'm your biggest fan!
SJ: OMG PLUS ME TOO!
GI Dave: You should come play at our school's music festival Culture Shock in April!
Billy Bragg: I would love to but unfortunately April is the month that I arbitrarily fire half of my waiting/serving staff at home and hire new servants that I can pay less. If Joe Strummer were alive I would recommend you to him because he squatted almost his whole life and definitely never lived in Dorset. However, he's dead so you'll probably have to go watch some totally unremarkable over-hyped hipster headliner for Culture Shock.
GI Dave: man, CL was totally right, you really are such a champagne socialist.

Get the Champagne Socialist mug.Many political parties in various contexts have referred to themselves as National Socialist parties. Because there is no clear definition of national socialism, the term has been used to mean very different things. Since the rise of German Nazism, which called itself "National Socialism", the term has been used in Europe and North America almost exclusively by political parties with racial nationalist views.
However, in other parts of the world, which had little contact with German Nazism, the term "National Socialism" is sometimes used by parties that define themselves as socialist and patriotic, without being racist. In addition, the term was also used by non-racist groups in Europe before the rise of Nazism.
