The best hipster show ever created. It comes along with many inside jokes that only other Portlandia fans can understand. In which case, if you haven't seen this show, then do not reuse any inside jokes that come along with it to other Portlandia fans; it will only instigate more inside jokes that you may not know of creating extreme confusion.
You know Portlandia when you're always putting a birdon it.
Cacao to any other show that isn't Portlandia.
p.s. so OVER this.
A conundrum of approximately 5'9" in stature, overflowing with witty banter, prone to spontaneous and frequent disappearances, unexplained mental processes and bouts with cute gentility.
A generally pleasing experience, found primarily on Tweet timelines and Tumbling around the internet causing untold attractions...
That girl is definitely a Portlandia!
I wish I had a Portlandia, to take to the party with me..
Someone who lives in Portland but is not originally from the area, often also referred to as a transplant. The word is derived from the show Portlandia, and therefore incorrectly assumes residents of the town are called Portlandians, instead of the proper term of Portlanders. This incorrect term has only surfaced about 10 years ago, and is sometimes used by native Portlanders to refer to transplants who moved here from somewhere else, especially in regards to hipsters.
A term commonly used by mistake by people not originally from Portland to refer to people that live in the Portland area, not realizing the proper term is Portlander. The term is derived from the show Portlandia, and incorrectly thus assumes that people of Portland are referred to as Portlandians. The term surfaced about 10 years ago for that reason, and is often used mockingly by Portlanders in reference to transplants who moved to the area, especially hipsters.
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.
