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.

Get the Paper Tiger mug.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.

Get the white tiger mug.An online cesspool (bordering on alt-right) that masquerades as a sports forum. Consists of mainly anonymous male users who circlejerk each other while making constant sexist and racist comments as well as whining about anything political they don't agree with. Used as a safe space for the ultra-conservative to commune after they have been triggered by society. Anonymity on this site is of utmost importance, as the users are terrified to be identified in real life (because they are cowards).
