VaporScare

A threat or conspiracy that either turns out to be bogus, or simply fails to materialize.

The administration's claim that terrorists would attack us using bomb-laden sparrows turned out to be just another VaporScare.

vapors

An ailment causing real or imagined nausea, fainting, or dizziness on the part of Victorian women or women of similar delicate sensitivity. The cause is something seen or heard which so offends their modesty, there is no response they are capable of uttering. Typically a matter of sexual or cultural taboo is being violated, such as the mention of a sexual or excretory organ in conversation.

1. When Larry Summers claimed that men may have a greater innate ability in math than women, MIT biologist Nancy Hopkins had the vapors. In her own words she later explained "if I hadn't left, I would've either blacked out or thrown up."

2. The reaction of characters played by Margaret Dumont in the films of the Marx Brothers to something shocking.

Vänersborg

(V-eh-nn-eh-rs-borg) A small town in Sweden with a population of about 37 000 (in the entire Vänersborg county.)

The city is located at the 'tip' of Vänern, Swedens greatest lake (and the 29th greatest inland lake in the world.) The city is otherwise surrounded by forest. It's located near two plateau mountains, called Halleberg and Hunneberg, where Germans go on their hazardous pilgrimage to collect moose poo.

It is the town the inhabitants love to hate. As soon as they are old enough to think for themselves (usually around 13 years of age) they moan and kick and scream and cry about leaving and never ever coming back. Unfortunately about 99% ends up staying in this godforsaken chuckhole for all eternity. Nobody really knows why.

"Where are you from?"

"I'm from Vänersborg!"

Quite possibly the most badass thing anyone could ever say. Originates from Battlestar Galactica, where the fighters are named "Vipers."

Dee: "Incoming Cylon Raiders."
Admiral Adama: "Launch All Vipers."
