Though originally a term denoting an internet spoof-religion, akin to Recreational Christianity, it has, through common usage, evolved into more of a disparaging slur against jubilant fundamentalist Christians in general, and Charismatic Christians in particular. It is aimed at those whose over-simplification of Christian dogma appear to, in all actuality, complicate it. It is a way of saying "You're world-view is so far removed from conventional reality, that you are not even worth debating." Synonymn: clicker.
"I hate to condescend like this, but with your obviously Dake-Bonoist views, I may as well be discussing politics with Jimmy Swaggart."
Dake-Bonoism is a modern synthesis of the pentecostal teachings of the late Rev. Finis Jennings Dake and lyrical writings of Bono (singer for the popular band U2).
Dake-Bonoists are known to practice a variation of the glossolalia called clicking. It is different that other manifestations of tongue talking because it is done by clicking ones tongue against the soft-palate while cupping the hands across the mouth.
That Carmanguy has to be a Dake-Bonoist. That boy can click like there is no tomorrow!
A dake never fails, unless its failing at failing.
A dake is always calm and collected and never loses his temper.
A dake encompasses the word "awesome", and succeeds in any venture that he takes on, overcomes any challenge in his way.
Wow... did you see that guy? He would have been named dake, but his parents didnt want everyone to know how successful and dominating he was just by hearing it.
An Evangelical Christian of a Pentecostal or Charismatic persuasion who embraces a very conservative and narrow perspective on the world while simultaneously trying to appear somewhat "hip” through his or her choice or clothing, hair style, and choice of music. They frequently choose to listen to the music of U2 because they have been told that Bono is a Christian, despite the fact that their outlook on the world is diametrically opposed the that of Bono as well as the other members of U2. See also Dake-Bonoism.
John listens to U2 day and night, God only knows what he is going to do when he finds out that Bono likes to use the "F" word. That Dake-Bonoist's world is going to be completely shattered.
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 A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
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.
