Robert Downey Jr. 

One of the most talented, versatile and admirable (not to mention badass) actors of our time. Has persistently displayed witty performances alongside depth and variation throughout his impressive career.

Best known for his films Iron Man, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Chaplin, Tropic Thunder, Sherlock Holmes and (wait for it) the upcoming Avengers...can't wait!!

Also known for his impressive strength & recovery from drug use, and even for his charm and attractiveness (looking pretty good for being in his 40s).
Robert Downey Jr. could give straight men a hard-on. There, I said it.

Downeyism 

Since Robert Downey Jr. is simply glorious and could easily be placed on the same level as a deity, many have decided to convert to Downeyism. Downeyism, although a newly formed and quite questionable religion, is based on the celebration of Robert Downey Jr.'s existence.
I have officially converted to Downeyism.

After I got done watching Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I became a follower of Downeyism.

Downey Syndrome

A condition caused by living, or being raised, in Downey, CA. Sufferers who grew up in Downey and have since moved away will experience profound feelings of unsubstantiated nostalgia about their childhood home and may suffer from the delusion that Downey is a great place to live; while the afflicted who currently reside in Downey will display extreme frustration, confusion and despair, interspersed with periods of complete denial ("I'm probably going to move to Orange County next year.") Those who grew up in Downey and still live there are the most severely affected as they continually battle conflicting feelings of sentimentality and condemnation.

Symptoms include: a tendency to inadvertently blurt, "Go Bears!" or "Go Ducks!" (depending on whether they attended, Warren High School or Downey High School) whenever the word Downey is used, regardless of the context ("Did you want to go see the new Robert Downey, Jr. movie?" "Go Bears!" "No, Iron Man."); an inability to control the impulse to compare all foods to that served at El Taco; an inexplicable need to mention that Karen Carpenter was also from Downey (followed by deep shame at their lack of control and anxiety that people will assume they like The Carpenters) and feelings of superiority over those who reside in Bell Gardens, Pico Rivera, Paramount and Lynwood based on the misperception that Downey is somehow less ghetto.
Bob: So you're from Paramount?
Jack: Hell no! Do I look like I'm from Paramount? I'm from Downey!
Bob: What? Like somehow being from Downey is better than . . .
Lori: Shhhhhhhh . . . he can't help it. He has Downey Syndrome.
Bob: Oh. Sorry big guy. Go Bears!
Jack: (clapping hands and laughing) Yay!

Robert Downey Jr 

1]Possibly the coolest person in the world. Had trouble with drugs but he got over it (after numerous arrests and attempts at rehab) publicly for about 5- 10 years. Started acting when he was around 5 and still owns the big screen today at 45. Shit, that's a goddamn good career.

Charismatic, funny, cute, awesome. And great looking for 45.

1) The guy that every other dude in the world would turn gay for. Most guys would suck his dick just to say that they did.

2)Also a phrase to show how awesome something is, and you can use the words to describe the babe aspect of someone (or him)

2]
A song about aformentioned person by the band 'Sexy Heroes.' It's quite good and very amusing.
1]
1)"Man, I would actually suck Robert Downey Jr's dick. He's amazingly attractive. No Homo."
"Yeah man, he's the one guy I wouldn't hit you for saying you'd turn gay for."

2)"Shit dude, that chick is on a 9 out of 10 on the RDJ scale."
"Yeah man, she's a fucking babe."

2)*Picks up copy of new Sherlock Holmes movie*
"What. A. Babe"
"Yeah man, he's so hot for an old guy."

*Group of other young people turn around looking disgusted*

"...Robert Downey Jr..."
"Oh, shit! Yes mate, He's a BABE!"

Any of these examples can be said by guys or girls. No homo.

2]
LYRICS:
A genius is what they say, and hey I know they're right
He brings to life the guys he plays even if they're not white
He talks so fast you know I wonder how he does it
Stubbly chin, Sarcastic grin, sounds gay but I love watching him

He's done so many things and had such different roles
He always seems unhinged or just out of control
I knew back when that he would finally find his way
My friends ya know his name is really fun to say

Robert Downey Jr
Robert Downey Jr's coming my way,
My way or the highway

It was a rough patch in his life, but thats all over now
He's back and top and he won't stop until he owns this town.

Occasionally in the live versiono they sing: "I'm gay (for Robert Downey Jr!)

Word of the Day on November 5, 2026
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.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
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.
