global warming

You know, if the scientists and climatologists, who are educated in the feild of global warming are saying that the world is getting hotter, then why debate with them. Bush doesn't give a damn about global warming because he sucks up to the oil companies. Its not just a theory its a proven fact. It used to snow where I live now it doesn't snow anymore.

Fucking conservatives don't give a fuck about global warming because if they did do something they would just be millionaires instead of multi-millionaires.

Get the global warming mug.

globberfluxible

Used in Mathematics (usually a technical writing class) when Mathematicians try to describe the nature of a function at a certain point but have trouble coming up with a sophisticated example, say "what the hell", throw up both arms and make up a fancy word that has no real meaning, in place as an adjective to the function.

Bad: f is globberfluxible at x = 3;
Good: The function f is globberfluxible at x =3;

Drinks Globe Luxury

Akin to Burled Wood Paneled Luxury, not quite as excessive as Personal Army Luxury, but much nicer than Fur Lined Lingerie Luxury.

As used (and probably coined) by Jeremy Clarkson on BBC Top Gear Season 15, Episode 1: "If you live in Cheshire and you have to travel great distances in Drinks Globe Luxury, the Bentley Continental GT really is in a class of one."

Global Nomad

Global nomad refers to people who are living an international lifestyle. They travel from one country to another without a permanent home or job and their ties to their country of origin have loosened. Most of them work in jobs that are location independent such as IT, writing, teaching, and handicraft.

Nomad originally referred to pastoral nomads who follow their herd according to the seasons. Unlike traditional nomads, global nomads travel alone or in pairs rather than with a family and livestock. They also travel worldwide and via various routes whereas traditional nomads have a fixed annual or seasonal pattern of movement, and although pastoralists are professional travellers, they move in relatively limited areas mostly walking or riding donkeys, horses, and camels. Global nomads, on the other hand, travel worldwide.

The modern-day global nomads' lifestyle has become possible because of fast and relatively cheap transportation methods as well as the communication technologies that enable people to connect in real time across wide geographical distances. Global nomads often come from Western countries. They are privileged actors: they have the financial resources to move (either they have savings or they sell their property or they get a pension) or they have the talent needed to set up a small business venture in their new location. Global nomads also hold passports that allow them to move more or less freely.

Global nomads' lifestyle is characterized by high mobility. They might stay in one place for days to months. However, sometimes the term is also used to refer to lifestyle migrants, who travel between their country of origin and their new, chosen home country.

Global Nomads have travelled continuously, internationally, and many years without a permanent home or a job. A book called Free as a Global Nomad: An Old Tradition with a Modern Twist (Drifting Sands Press, Phoenix, AZ, USA, 2012) contain interviews of 30 Global Nomads and information about the lifestyle.
