Worker A: What happened to that guy that was hired last week?
Worker B: He was fired a few days ago. Despite his master's degree, he was completely incompetent in his field. Turns out he was a paper tiger who just plagiarized other people for his degree.
-------------------------
Person A: How's that project coming along?
Person B: It's a bit of a struggle, all I got right now is a paper tiger. I think I've almost figured out what went wrong, though.

The Fontus self-filling water bottle is a a paper tiger that claims that it will fill itself in an hour, but can't possibly do so because of basic thermodynamics.

Get the West Tigermug. when double-fisting beer bottles and taking a sip from each one at the same time, thus having each beer bottle look like the large teeth of the prehistoric sabertooth tiger cat
It took so long to get a beer at the bar I had to grab two and pull a saBEERtooth tiger to catch up.

Get the saBEERtooth tigermug. The extremely strong desire to want to have sex with, or "fuck" a member of the opposite sex that is not one's boyfriend/girlfriend and almost always ends in a one night stand. While experiencing "Tiger Eye", one usually lowers his/her normal standards just to "bust that nut".
(While at a party or social gathering)
Person 1: Man I just want to fuck something tonight. I don't even care if that bitch is ugly.
Person 2: Bro you better be careful. You got the Tiger Eye.

Get the Tiger Eyemug. A girl who is very aggressive in bed. She will more then likely growl at you when she is in the mood. Also she will scratch and bite you like a wild tiger.

Get the Tiger girlmug. A stupid, redneck, cow-patty cousin fucker college in south Alabama who won a national championship by paying criminals like Cam Newton to play on their team and bribing refs. They are known for being much worse than the Alabama Crimson Tide, a team with 13 national championships that they actually earned. Auburn has never had a good coach, this being the reason that they suck. Their battle-cry, "war eagle". a phrase which makes no sense, is used by drunken rednecks everywhere.
