Governmental rule by the worst, the most despicable people.
Sometimes spelled "kakocracy", but meaning the same.
Given the decline of statesmanship in the U.S. government, and the corruption among the ruling classes, one could well define our rule as formerly a republic, but now a cacocracy.
1. Often disguised as a democracy or a constitutional monarchy, a corpocracy is when a country is run by big business, either
a. Indirectly (a common occurrence). Usually the result of pandemic corruption or gradual erosion of a nation's checks and balances on the executive branch of government; to the point where greed takes precedence over your representative's morals.
or
b. Directly (currently theoretical). There are few companies with the capital to afford starting their own direct corpocracy.
1a. I highly doubt that Congress would willingly label America a corpocracy, but honesty isn't exactly their strong point.
1b. Microsoft has enough money to buy a small country, thus forming the first direct corpocracy.
2. America became a corpocracy when both the Republicans and the Democrats dropped all pretence at serving the nation's best interests; opting to take bribes from the defence industry, large oil companies, and Hollywood instead.
While by law the U.S. is a republic, the government is actually a Corpocracy - democracy by the corporations. Corporations vote by paying politicians and political parties to put forward their agenda. The term is also endearing because of the similarity to the word "Hipocrisy".
A form of government characterized by rule by tall, rich, white jocks with tattoo sleeves and backwards baseball caps. The Chads plunder all the money, bang all the hot chicks, and silence anyone who dares to speak out against them.
Down with the Chadocracy! Im so fucking sick of these damn Chad's stealing all my girls. Power to the nerds!
A combination or acceptance of a governing party or relationship with the institutions as a fundamental datum, based on mafia style such as having a form of justice of its own and uses murder as a punishment and not as a crime.
I'd stay out of Russia or any other FSR (Former SovietRepublic) because their government is a crimocracy.
Nickname given to bales of marijuana thrown overboard or out of airplanes. Origin is reportedly from members of the US Coast Guard in the area of Southern Florida.
A sunburn or suntan focused on the left arm. It is caused by the left side of the body being the only half that gets exposed to sunlight while driving. Presumably, it would be located on the right side of the body in countries where they drive on the left side of the road.
I had a trucker's tan after driving for 10 straight hours on a sunny day.
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
