A small city full of gated communities north of Los Angeles that has million dollar homes within 1 mile of the fucking dumpy ass retail hell shitbox better known as WalMart. The idiot ass realtors of the Porter Ranch area, want it to be compared to a city like Beverly Hills, only instead of Rodeo Drive adorned with Tiffany, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, it has Rinaldi Ave adorned with WalMart, Famous Footwear, and Sport Chalet! Bottom line, it's Northridge, but pimpier because it has a golf course.

Get the Porter Ranch mug.A polder is a low-lying tract of land that forms an artificial hydrological entity, enclosed by embankments known as dikes.
The best-known examples are those polders that constitute areas of land reclaimed from a body of water, such as a lake or the sea, and are consequently below the surrounding water level.
This requires drainage by pumps to prevent the water table within the polder from rising too high. Some can be drained by opening sluices at low tide.
Polders are most commonly found, though not exclusively so, in river deltas, former fenlands and coastal areas. The Netherlands is frequently associated with polders: 'God created the world except for the Netherlands. The Dutch took it from the sea’.
The Dutch have a long history of reclamation of marshes and fenland, not only within their country but also abroad. About half of all polderland within northwest Europe is located within the Netherlands. The first embankments in Europe were constructed in Roman times. The first polders were constructed in the 11th century. This also leads to the expression used to describe Dutch decision making - the Polder Model.

Get the Four Poster Bed mug.A verb (pronounced "Porter-ing") that describes when a person plays a multi-player video game (such as Halo or Smash Bros.) and sits on the sidelines while the other players fight and kill each other. When only 2 out of all the players fighting are left, the one who took this action tends to win because he did not do anything and angers the other players.

Get the Porterdalian River Rat mug.A posterboy (or “poster boy,” also “postergirl/poster girl” as appropriate) is a usually famous person who is heavily associated with and/or generally found to represent a given movement, subculture, religious group, fandom, etc. to people who do not belong to said group. The name comes from their frequent appearances in the group’s promotional materials, especially posters. Generally, they are very outspoken, opinionated and experienced within their group, though a single act gaining major media attention can also thrust someone into posterboy-dom. Examples of posterboys include Richard Dawkins for the atheist community and Dan Savage for the homosexual community.
Unfortunately, due to the vocal minority effect, and the fact that sensationalist actions and statements tend to gain the most mainstream media attention, many posterboys hold wildly extreme views that aren’t supported by the majority of their groups, leading many to unfairly judge others who are normally perfectly sane.

I hate calling myself an atheist anymore because our posterboys like Dawkins and Hitchens make us all look like assholes.

Get the Posterboy mug.The butt hole rim of California populated by mostly mexicans. Where white people are left with only memories of better times before their son developed a meth addiction and their daughter became a cowboy. The town so small and insignificant, that when describing its location you must refer to other small towns around it.

"What about Bakersfield?"
-"Yes"
"Okay, it's just north of Bakerfield..."
