A slang term popular in early/mid 1980s Germany and Austria, which was the equivalent of the English term, "Yuppie". This neologism was used in much the same way to mock a new wave of American-influenced young urban sophisticate twenty-somethings in Austria and West Germany at the time.
Translated from German, "junge Römer" means "young Roman(s)" (the term can denote both singular - when used for a male - and plural), likening the heightened style of living of these young Europeans to that of many of the extravagant upperclass Romans in Rome's Golden Age.
The term was popularized further by Austrian pop/rock singer, Falco, in 1984 with his song by the same name, which glamorized the junge Römer lifestyle (Falco counted himself among this group of people).

From Falco's, Junge Römer:
"Junge Römer, die Nacht ist jung wie ihr,
vergesst das Morgen."
Translation: Young Romans, the night is young like you, forget the morning.

Get the Winona Ryder mug."Publicly, Winona is rather approachable. People describe her as nice, friendly, cooperative, and polite. On the other hand, you can sense that she's a troubled lady. Hazy about her purpose in life, she's sensitive and spiritually confused, which has caused her to suffer bouts of depression and panic attacks.
Still, it's most likely that sensitivity that has made her such a wonderful thespian. Even if she's played characters ranging from cheerleaders and teenage wives to rebellious daughters and feminists, she never chooses roles to advance her career. What makes her so special is the fact that she never works just for a paycheck." askmen.com

Get the Ruff Ryders mug.A "Ryder Boy" is a male who is minuscule and mouthwatering. He often hangs around thots, says he doesn't like them, however it's in fact clear he does. He also is obsessed with mainstream and popular clothing brands, going to the point where his belt, flip-flops, and even his pet's collar are designed by that brand. He tends to have a grudge for those who betray them, and tends to also be stubborn. He loves animals, and dislikes peanut butter. He's hard-working, but tends to procrastinate. He can be a very likable person. He loves to hang out with others, dance, and has many plans for his future.

Get the ToB Ryder mug.George A. Romero is a director known for making zombie films, arguably the greatest "zombie" director of all time.
He's the director who made zombie films what they are now. He made Night of the Living Dead back in the 60s, Dawn of the Dead in the 70s, Day of the Dead in the 80s, and recently Land of the Dead in 2005 and Diary of the Dead in 2007.
Also made such films as Creepshow, Two Evil Eyes and The Crazies.
His more popular zombie movies are often socially satirical in some way, for example themes about consumerism in Dawn of the Dead and Iraq War allegories in Land of the Dead.
His next zombie film is supposed to be "Survival of the Dead", and it looks like it could be cool.
