A moniker for the recently renamed Willis Tower in Chicago, formerly known as Sears Tower from 1973-2009.

Used by Chicagoans to avoid using the name Willis Tower.

Similar in structure to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, which the music artist Prince crafted for legal reason to produce music outside the control of his corporate music label, until such time as he could regain his rightful name.

Typical Facebook's response for any report of a post that is actually offensive, but FB doesn't take any action and gives you their standard templated response and snubbing your efforts to keep FB clean.
Joe: Yo FB, this dude just posted a porno and an offensive racist comment
FB: Thanks for letting us know about this. We looked over the comment, and though it doesn't go against one of our specific Community Standards, you did the right thing by letting us know about it. We understand that it may still be offensive or distasteful to you.
Joe: FUCK YOU ZUCK! Don't fucking tfluk me bitch!

the easiest way to end an argument when your opponent relays their intentions to do something that you do not agree with.
(online or in text msg, etc)
"I have to go shopping"
'I shop online, you must have tons of time on your hands. it's Christmas and the stores are packed!'
"The traffic here is fine."
'I thought it was snowing there.'
"I have snow tires! duh."
'You know, there are websites that sell things much cheaper.'
"But there is a sale going on at my favorite place!"
'fine. let me know how that works out for you.'

Best way to diffuse (yep, this is trolling!): "U mad?"
