Gateflan

A rarer species of SciFi fan.
'Gate' refers to Stargate, including the shows Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis, almost-game Stargate Worlds, almost-show Stargate Universe. One of the top-three scifi cult followings.

'Flan' refers to a show called Firefly. A flan is also called a browncoat (both of which have entries on UD).

Both together means the person loves both shows. Since the two shows are so different, it's seem odd to have mutual fans, but since many of the acotrs had crossovers, there are more Gateflans than you'd think.
They quote both shows contantly, they change thier wardrobes, preferences, etc.
But usually, they're really smart.
Joey: Yoa sei toamonah! Holy hannah!

Scotty: What?? Chinese AND a blatant Gate reference? Why, my friend, you are a Gateflan! We should get you to an Internet support group immeadiatly!

Joey: *begins swearing in chinese* oh, go suck a lemon.

gateway beer

From the term gateway drug but referring to beer. A beer that acts as a gateway to drinking tastier, more delicious craft beers. A beer you drink because you truly enjoy the flavor, not just as a reason to get schnockered.
It was drinking Old Spotted Sow that finally turned me away from factory made lite lagers. It was my gateway beer.

I started out drinking fool fizz as a gateway beer. After that I moved on to more hoppy, malty beers. Now I can't drink anything else.

Gatesville Texas

Gatesville is a town with crackheads. Not the safest place to be considering the kids are pumped up on steroids and start wildfires for every football game. They also have a lot of spurs.
