The democratically elected president of Syria. He is not exactly evil monster dictator as US propaganda and western bullshit media (CNN, BBC) says.
Before Syrian civil war started, Syria was a peaceful country with happy citizens living in prosperity. What he did was to keep Syria away from western influence, and nationalize Syrian industries instead of giving them to western companies. Which pissed off USA and NATO imperialists, and they decided to ruin the shit out of Syria just like what they did to Iraq and Libya.
The president of the Syrian Arab Republic. Has managed to survive 5 years of the Syrian War and regain most of the populated areas of the country because of a fair degree of support amongst most groups of the Syrian population.
Opposed by western interests, destructive Gulf states and their puppets on the ground.
As a reformer, under his rule the Syrian economy steadily improved before the onset of the war. Several steps on the way to democracy were also taken such as a multi-party system in the Syrian Parliament, however strangely enough some western observers still claim the country would be better off governed by the allies of the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda even though they strongly oppose democracy as a western invention.
Phrase used by the supports of Bashar al-Assad and the Syrian government:
Allah, Souriya, Bashar ou bas!
The current dictator president of Syria. Elected over and over again with 99.99% votes even though 70% of the population hates him. Directly caused the death and displacement of tens of millions of innocent families. If you talk ill of him once, you'll be found dead the next day, or get jailed up years without anyone knowing where you went. Perfect example of a corrupt sociopath dictator.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
Short-hand for the word floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning the estimation of something as valueless (encountered mainly as an example of one of the longest words in the English language).
