2. A metaphor used by Chief Bromdon in Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to describe the shaping influences in America. Media, government, authority figures, the social class system, citizens, greed, etc. shape members of American society; any individuals are chewed up until they are left naive and docile - certain qualities are kept, just like a combine in the field.

Get the combine mug.(noun or adjective) Originally a common abbreviation for communist, a member of the communist party, or someone who has views that can otherwise be identified as those of a communist.
Be that as it may, it is also a derogatory term that has become used by (generally) right-wing/conservative/reactionary individuals to describe concepts, or persons who hold beliefs, that are:
(1) not shared by the person using the word
(2) possibly, but not definitely, liberal, socialist, left-wing, or otherwise not conformed with the accepted republican or right wing point of view.
Also used interchangeably and together with:
fascist, socialist, marxist, red, pinko, faggot, leftie, liberal,libbie, etc. Those who do so might reasonably be assumed to be more vituperative than they are aware of the original meanings of the associated words.

Get the Commierific mug.Crombie is the Montreal equivalent to the American's version of vagina (pussy) and the Brit's (snatch). Slang for female genitalia, crombie owes its origins in part to a powerful McGill off-campus group of students. Their following has been widespread and provoked numerous contained rallies. Chants that have been used include but have not been limited to "Ate her Crombie then we ditched," and "Wipe that splooge off your face".
