The protester formerly known as Sir James and now just as James 

The idea that you must fight corruption (and probably) toasters in any capacity you have, particularly when they occur in government. The calling card of those opposing the toaster revolution, a cause that some say isn't really about kitchen appliances but about hostile governments, evil walrii and vikings under Norway battling for world domination.
The evil walrii, said to already have subversively conquered most of North america, and if they wanted to, Mexico, are secretly infamous for installing fake robot governments and hiding the truth about Canada.
Violent uprisings widely and inaccurately publicized as "elections" or "world summits" demonstrate the public's growing concern at the threat the walrii pose to both humanity and the eyes (they are hideous).
It has been claimed that the protester formerly known as Sir James and now just as James, is a real man, and the leader of the opposition to the toaster revolution, there is much debate on the issue and "what it all means".
Of those that believe he exists some say he is a gentleman and a scholar, others denounce him as merely being drunk.
No one knows where he was born, his age, or his favorite color. Even under torture this information would not be revealed by he or his "associates", or randomly selected members of the public. The mystery remains.
Man, idea or nonsense the name is central in the "toaster revolution" as a symbol against corruption, deceit and all things evil in government and kitchenware stores.

"Not again!"

"These toaster lover sure are lazy!"

"It's just too long!"

"What is?"

"The name. I mean the protester formerly known as SI- Dammit Frank!"

"ZZZ-What?!"

"Never mind let's just take over this joint."

"Right"

"OK. In the name of the for-"

"ZZZZZ"

"God dammit!"

Creekside Dormitory (formerly known as Simkins)

The secluded, only all-male dorm at the University of Texas. It houses about 200 men and resides in the Northeast edge of campus. It was formerly known as Simkins until 2010, when the board discovered that the man was an avid member of the KKK. Most of the residents hate themselves for waiting until mid-May to apply for housing once they arrive on campus. Several residents were forced to live here by their moms because it's not co-ed, and therefore the only "conservative" dorm at UT. This dorm is a sick joke and blows for many different reasons:

1) There are two dining centers on campus and Creekside is equidistant from both. A 10-minute walk up-hill.
2) There are no other dorms by Creekside; the only things close by are a museum and a parking garage.
3) There are off-campus hoodlums that come by at night and cut bike-locks to steal our means of transportation.
4) There are these fucking gnats that occupy a space above the sidewalk to Jester everyday.
5) The immense amounts of pubic hair that get piled on the shower floors.
6) The builders conveniently placed the door hinges for the closet on the wrong side. You have to cram against your drawer just to open the door.

The good things:
1)Its close to a nine-hole municipal golf-course.
2) There's an xbox and a broken 52-inch TV upstairs.
3) There's always a game of Dungeons and Dragons going on in the entertainment room. Cheez-its all-around.
4) There's a group of guys that sometimes smoke a hookah outside at night.
(person #1) "Yo dawg, look at those two losers bouncing a basketball to each other on the sidewalk."

(person #2) "Oh yah man that's Creekside Dormitory (formerly known as Simkins), the shittiest dorm at UT. Only losers stay there."

(person #1) "Oh shit. That blows."

Example #2
(person #1) "Hi my name is so-and-so."

(person #2) "Nice to meet you, my name's so-and-so. I live in Jester...it sucks. Where do you live?"

(person #1) "Oh ok Jester's not that bad. I live in Creekside."

(person #2) "Never heard of it."

(person #1) "It used to be named after a guy named Simkins. He was in the KKK."

Example #3 (60 years ago)

(person #1) "Yo dumbass, you put the door hinges on the wrong side of the closet."

(person #2) "Oh shit...well, it don't matter. It's Simkins."

(person #1) "Oh ya. That's true."

The Artist Formerly Known as Prince

"Who's Prince?"
"You know who i mean, The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, Prince"

The Tower Formerly Known as Sears 

A moniker for the recently renamed Willis Tower in Chicago, formerly known as Sears Tower from 1973-2009.

Used by Chicagoans to avoid using the name Willis Tower.

Similar in structure to The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, which the music artist Prince crafted for legal reason to produce music outside the control of his corporate music label, until such time as he could regain his rightful name.
Passenger: Could you please take me to Willis Tower?
Cabbie: What you talkin bout, Willis?
Passenger: Oh, I'm sorry, I mean The Tower Formerly Known as Sears.

the girls formerly known as the nips 

tgfkatn The girls who used to be called the nips, or nick's bitches. However, following Nick's overall lack of control and Hunter's "whoops told them they were nips" dialogue, they are now disbanded and known as the girls formerly known as the nips.

Also, nearly all (if not all) are bitter at Hunter. Forgive and forget, ladies.
"Nick, we should go do some archery this weekend." "With who?" "You know, that girl, the ni.... the girl formerly known as a nip."

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
