The given name to the effect that moving to Asheville, NC has on any unknowing individual. It completely reverses high hopes and aspirations into a complete and total acceptance of mediocrity. The unknowing victim is completely ok with this transformation
Only those who have moved away understand its effects and become immune to the curse.
I had a 3.5 GPA in high school and acceptance to college, but I think working at Office Max for the rest of my life is fine with me. I have succumbed to the Asheville Curse.
You have to live in the city of Asheville, North Carolina for this to apply. Getting Ashevilled describes when you were trying to have anything done with your home especially. It is when you expect someone to come out and give you an estimate and they don't show up, when they do show up and say they'll send you an estimate but you never get it, or when they show up and give you an estimate, but they still don't show up to do the work.
I was expecting someone to come over and give me an estimate for my leaking roof. I called three people and none of them have shown up. That sucks. We just call that getting Ashevilled. You'll get used to it.
Asheville High school is a unique school made up of various types of kids, all together making yet another diversified quality of Asheville. Equally populated with nerds, jocks, homosexuals, freaks, hippies, artists and a significant amount of potheads; Asheville High school is a great example of one of the more "ghetto" schools in the Western part of North Carolina. The school building actually is very castle-like, resembling some of the better parts of the Biltmore house, and rumor has it that the school is haunted by a student who used to go to school there a long time ago. (Really, look it up on the news) Asheville High has a bad-ass rep for being one of the coolest schools around to be a part of. Go Asheville High Cougars!
-Hey dude, let's go smoke some shit some place cool.
-Yeah, man. Asheville High school!
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).

Person B: "Wow, EBK."
Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.
Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
That ol' gal of mine drives the 12 lane freeway during the week and a John Deere on the weekends. She likes opra and the Grand Ol' Opry. I love them countrypolitan women.
