Get the windy wednesday mug.Related Words
A 1989 horizontal shoot 'em up arcade game that was also ported a year later to the PC Engine CD-ROM (known outside of Japan as the TurboGrafx-CD) only in Japan and the SEGA Mega Drive (SEGA Genesis in America) only in Japan and Europe.
It didn't catch much attention, due to being viewed by many to be just another unoriginal horizontal space shoot 'em up while lacking advertisements. It stayed obscure until late 2000 when the opening of the European version of its SEGA Mega Drive port was discovered as a mistranslation and was used by Kansas City computer programmer and part-time DJ, Jeffrey Ray Roberts, then aged 23, from the Gabber band "The Laziest Men on Mars" created a techno dance track titled "Invasion of the Gabber Robots", which remixed some of the Zero Wing video game music by Tatsuya Uemura, Toshiaki Tomisawa, and Masahiro Yuge, with electronic versions of the quotes from its intro. Most notably "All your base are belong to us", said by an antagonist named CATS, which is similar to "owned", a slang word that originated among 1990s hackers, where it referred to "rooting" or gaining administrative control over another person's PC. This became an Internet meme for a long period of time and is still being used today, even against the arcade and PC Engine CD-ROM versions, although they lack the infamous opening and don't show CATS nor Engrish.

Most people thought Toaplan was responsible for the mistranslated opening of the European Mega Drive version of Zero Wing, but it was actually SEGA of Europe's.

Windy City Drifters are commonly encountered in crowded areas of Chicago and block the path of walking pedestrians. They have the greatest impact on foot traffic during rush hour but are an annoyance at all times of the day.

Get the Wing Dick'in mug.A condition held by overly long sideburns as they grow into long, curly strands that often resemble wings.

Get the Wing Sideburn mug.A TV show which followed the events surrounding a fictional president and his staff. The show was unashamedly liberal although always tried to show Republicans in a fair and honest light.
Despite not initially having the highest viewing figures, the program attracted then-record sums for adverts in America as the audience was deemed to be massively middle-class and wealthy.
Lambasted by a number of conservatives for being a liberal show, but remains the high point for televisual output from the States for the last 20 years.
The quality of the program declined when the creator, Aaron Sorkin left and the show has now been cancelled.
Famous for fast-paced dialogue and bringing politics to the (educated) masses. Presumably hated by the MTV generation as it has storylines that you are required to follow.
Names, rather obviously, after the West Wing of the White House where the various staff were primarily based.
