a war protester is simply someone that protests war. it doesn't necessarily entail being an atheist, anarchy, a stoner, or a hippie as many of the other people have implied.
EITHER- A person who believes that all of the world's problems cannot be solved by bombing
OR - A lazy middle class rich kid with nothing better to do, or a hippie.
Dude- Are you standing outside your school in the buff because you think it is wrong to bomb the shit out of a country that has violated no treaties and has committed no acts of aggression, on falsified evidence, killing 50,000 men women and children?
RICH KID- Nah, because all my friends are, and otherwise i'd have math.
1) someone who expresses dissent about a war, or the way the war is being fought, or the false pretenses used to justify the war, or anything about that war they dont like or are against.
in the case of Iraq, this would include people all over the world who did not like Saddam Hussein, but disagree with the principle of preemptive war. establishing the principle of preemptive war abandons international law- meaning any country can invade and attack any other country they claim is a 'gathering threat' -not even an 'imminent threat' according to their intelligence agencies.
preemptive war is the same logic that terrorists the world over use to justify their actions.
Damn, that antiwar protester has some cajones to be out there in the street demonstrating when theres all those cops in riotgear with tear gas grenades, guns and batons.
a. A peaceful, well-meaning, usually liberal protestor who does not like the idea of war and fears for the lives of children and the lives of our soldiers
or
b. An ultra-liberal, ultra-asshole who goes out and yells "Fuck Bush" or some other brain-surgery terms at the top of their lungs, before trying to beat up a police officer.
I've seen more of the b-types but i'm holding out hope that the a-types exist... somewhere...
a- "We're holding this demonstration to protest the iraq war. Kum ba Yah, my lord...."
b- "Someone shoot George W. Bitch! DIE REPUBLICANS! DIE! OW! QUIT HITTING ME WITH THAT DAMN BATON, COP SCUM!
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
