Articles of Confederation

A time period starting at 1777 to 1787 were the United States had no idea what the fuck they were doing.

Citizen #1:"So, we've finally seperated from England, now what?"
Citizen#2"We do whatever the hell we want till someone figures out what the hell they're doing. Till then, no taxes!"
Citizen #1:"God bless this shitty system called the Articles of Confederation!"

Articles of Confederation

The "Prototype" United States Constitution. They were made because America wanted to be the polar opposite of England. They soon realized that was a horrible idea.

The Articles of Confederation made the federal government so neutered and inconsequential that they may as well not have existed. They could not tax, enforce laws (there was no president until 1789), or really do much of anything. The "United States" was more like "The Thirteen Very, Very Divided Independent Countries." England passed the popcorn as America floundered like a fish out of water, before an event known as "Shays' Rebellion" gave everyone a massive reality check.

I mean I guess bro

a word of expression to when you give up on comprehending someone's words of ignorance, stupidity, absurdity or are too exhausted to formulate a proper response.

Commonly seen in TikTok comment sections in replies to lazy attempts at humor, overconfidentally incorrect statement, or an over-the-top comment or when someone completely misses the mark on something.

"actually... incorrect statement, hope this helps!"

abandonware

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.

Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.

The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

cornholio

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.

"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
