Gore Effect

The phenomenon that leads to unseasonably cold temperatures, driving rain, hail, or snow whenever Al Gore visits an area to discuss global warming. Hence, the Gore Effect.
- Australia, November 2006: Al Gore is visiting two weeks before summer begins. The Gore Effect strikes: "Ski resort operators gazed at the snow in amazement. Parents took children out of school and headed for the mountains. Cricketers scurried amid bullets of hail as Melburnians traded lunchtime tales of the incredible cold." (The Age)

- New York, March 2004: "Gore chose January 15, 2004, one of the coldest days in New York City's history, to rail against the Bush administration and global warming skeptics... Global warming, Gore told a startled audience, is causing record cold temperatures." (NY Environment News)

funkytown gore

A horrifying gore video that surfaced around 2016-2017. It shows a man with his face flayed, hands cut off, and eyes gouged out being tortured by a Mexican cartel while having adrenaline injected into him so he feels the pain while Sweet Child O' Mine and later Funkytown are playing in the background. They even slice his throat with a box cutter at some point.

Texas Gore-Tex

Hunting or construction clothing worn by Texans during non-hunting/construction activities, particularly skiing. The clothing color is usually tree-and-leaves camouflage or hunter orange. It is worn by Texans and other rural or midwestern people. The term also applies when such clothing is used for any urban activity. Despite the name, the clothing has historically not been made from Gore-Tex, but was considered what Texans have in lieu of Gore-Tex. It is typically purchased at Cabela's or Wal-Mart. Popular brands include Carhartt and Cabela's.
1. A skier wearing a full-length one-piece Carhartt coverall and hunter orange knit hat is wearing Texas Gore-Tex.
2. A man wearing a camouflage hunting jacket to an expensive downtown restaurant is going out with his Texas Gore-Tex on.
