Buckhannon 

A small town in the heart of West Virginia. It boasts rolling green hills and lots of beautiful countryside. There is only one high school, with about a thousand students, and it's not even in the town.

Also, there are a lot of cool people in Buckhannon who aren't all "rednecks" or inbred. This city also used to have a decent underground music scene, which slowly faded away with the introduction of emo music...

Person 2 -- "I grew up in Buckhannon."

Person-- "...Never heard of it."

Mitch Buchannon 

A man who convinces a woman to enter a seemingly (but not) dangerous body of water for the sole purpose of rescuing her and becoming a hero.
Man: I dare you to walk out into the river.

Woman: It’s too cold! And fast!
Man: Nah, you’ll be fine.

Woman: Are you just trying to Mitch Buchannon me??!

(Two friends talking)

Friend #1: How was the lake?
Friend #2: Great, then shit got real. Had to pull my woman out of the water.

Friend #1: Dude, did you Mitch Buchannon her?!
Friend #2: Fuck yeah I did.

Buchannon Affair

An affair with a predetermined beginning and end, allowing a couple to grow as close as they want to during the affair without complicating their lives after the predetermined end.

The term was coined after the character Mitch Buchannon of the TV show Baywatch. Mitch needed to be presented as a romantic heartthrob capable of love, but one who, in order to keep the show interesting, could never be tied down. This forced writers to send all of his loves off to the other side of the world, whether for scientific research, caring for a dying parent or to "find themselves".

This allowed Mitch's heirum to transcend the superficial booty-call status but fall just short of marriage and permanence.
E- "Wow, Steve, do you have a girlfriend now?"

S- "No Eric, Why?"

E- "Who was that girl you were with the other night? You two looked like newlyweds, and you seemed so much more than eachother's bootycall"

S- "Oh, that was my Buchannon affair, Nikita. She has some important job in Russia and comes here for a few weeks once a year for recertification or something. Since we already know when she's leaving, it allows us to be as close as we want without worrying about anything too long term.

E- "Oh, like Mitch Buchannon, I get it..."

James Bucannon 

A real "blast" of a U.S. commander-in-chief with a big "booming" voice who created a lot of "thunder" during his presidency.
Maybe it's fortunate dat James Bucannon only served one term in da White House, or his politically "explosive" viewpoints and actions might have eventually sparked a Guy-Fawkes-style "gunpowder rebellion"!

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
