Get the Pullin' a Farmer mug.A player in an MMORPG (term originated in World of Warcraft) who spends the vast majority of, if not his entire online time acquiring items and selling them at ludicrously high prices. The sale can occur in or out of the game, with a large number of Chinese Gold Farmers (henceforth abbreviated as "CGF") being linked to websites specializing in the (illegal) sale of in-game assets for actual real-world currency.
More often than not, they do not work well in groups, speak very little English (as the name suggests), have a multitude of people with access to the same characters (it remains unknown if one person plays for days, or if the users develop various "shifts" similar to a work schedule), and will roll for all items as though they are required ("Need" rolling in World of Warcraft, also "Ninja Looting" at times).
Rarely, if ever, will these characters be created with any skills beneficial to other players. The odds of seeing a World of Warcraft CGF character with Alchemy, Blacksmithing, Enchanting, Engineering, Leatherworking, or Tailoring are roughly equal to witnessing the death of our own sun within one's lifetime.
If the player behind a CGF is too poor to afford a website to sell his goods, he will instead farm items ranging from medium to horrible value and post them in the nearest available in-game player-to-player store (such places being the Auction Houses in World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy XI). All items posted by a CGF are easily identified due to their 500% to 500,000% markup compared to prices set by other players. This, of course, is due to their obsession with acquiring the largest amount of gold in the shortest time possible.
Group play with a CGF is nearly impossible due to their innate desire to fill their pockets with any and all items that drop for the party. There are many signs of being partied with a CGF; be warned, as there are also growing numbers of noobs who exhibit these traits: They are the warriors who cannot hold aggro. They are the priests who cannot heal. They are the mages who run into melee combat. They are the level 50 hunters with a level 10 pet by their side. They are the rogues who spend the duration of the battle picking open and looting a chest. Luckily, once a CGF is found in a group, the leader boots him and begins searching for a replacement. On the off-chance that a CGF is the leader of a group, it is quickly disbanded.

Get the fraterday mug.An African American fraternal organization founded on Friday, November 17, 1911, at Howard University in Washington, D.C. by three undergraduate students and their faculty advisor. The undergraduate founders of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. were Howard University juniors Bishop Edgar Amos Love, Dr. Oscar James Cooper and Professor Frank Coleman. The faculty advisor was Dr. Ernest Everett Just. The fraternity operated without official sanction until the university withdrew its opposition in 1914. Omega Psi Phi was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia on October 28, 1914. The fraternity is the first black national fraternal organization to be founded at a historically black college.
From its inception, the fraternity has worked to build a strong and effective force of men dedicated to its Cardinal Principles of Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift, and capable of giving expression to the hopes and aspirations of an unfree people in the land of the free. In 1927, at the urging of fraternity member Bro. Carter G. Woodson, the fraternity made National Negro Achievement Week an annual observance and it continues today as Black History Month.
In 1930, Omega Psi Phi became one of the founding members of the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC). Since 1945, the fraternity has undertaken a National Social Action Program to meet the needs of African Americans in the areas of health, housing, civil rights, and education. Omega Psi Phi has been a patron of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) since 1955 and provides an annual gift of $50,000 to the UNCF.
Omega Psi Phi offers college, graduate, and honorary membership to potential aspirants. College students must be matriculating towards a bachelor's degree at a four year institution, have 36 semester credits and maintain at least a 2.5 grade point average. An initiant into the graduate chapter must already possess a bachelor's degree. The fraternity grants honorary membership to men who have contributed to society in a positive way on a national or international level.
Today, Omega Psi Phi has over 700 chapters throughout the United States, Bermuda, Bahamas, U.S. Virgin Islands,Korea, Japan, Liberia, Germany, and Kuwait. There are many notable Omega Men recognized as leaders in the arts,the sciences, academics,athletics, business, civil rights, education, government, and science sectors at the local, state, district, national and international level. Some of these men include Executive Directors of the NAACP Roy Wilkins and Benjamin Hooks, former President of the National Urban League, Vernon Jordan, and President & CEO of the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Jesse Jackson. Not to mention comedians and actors William "Bill" Cosby, Steve Harvey and Rickey Smiley. Their impressive members also include world renowned poet Langston Hughes and several athletes including six time NBA champion Michael J. Jordan, three time NBA champion Shaquille "Shaq" O'Neal, New Jersey Nets superstar Vince Carter, Baltimore Ravens Quarterback Steve McNair, MLB's "Homerun King" Henry "Hank" Aaron, World Series Champion David Justice. Also, two former governors William H. Hastie (U.S. Virgin Islands) and L. Douglas Wilder (Virginia) and numerous presidents of historically black colleges and universities grace the roster of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

Did you know that Ronald E. McNair, the African-American astronaut that died in the Challenger explosion, was a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.?

Get the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. mug.A guy who slams multiple slam-pigs. These types of males have been rejected by so many attractive girls that they have given up on them. They now resort to sleeping with slutty, fat girls (slam-pigs) in order to get some. These males care more about sex than their pride, dignity or their penis's well-being. A pig-farmer is also a "pig-slammer", but the opposite is not necessarily true. If you sleep with a slam-pig just once, you have become a pig-slammer. To be considered a pig-farmer, you must have ventured into the pig-pen multiple times.
Dude, who is that new fat-nasty girl Luke is with? That's the third slam-pig I've seen him with this week. He's becoming a pig-farmer.

Get the pig-farmer mug.An young urban dwelling woman with an earthy style who can often be found looking for fresh organic produce at local farmers markets or Whole Foods. The farmer's market girl shops at the gap and urban outfitters, drives a hybrid car, takes her dog to the local dog park, recycles, and wears very little make up. Her causes are animal rights and saving the planet. She shuns the glitz and glamour associated with big city life and favors communing with nature.
The girl I saw jogging with her dog on Fountain Avenue was a total farmers market girl. I don't think I should ask her to go with me to Area on Friday.
