A creature of small stature, who can commonly be found trying to bother people in many ways. Calls at ridiculous hours. Plays trumpet. Smokes the ganja.

Get the Gobollon mug.Globox is a creature that resembles an amphibian, and is blue (though according to the game Rayman Origins he was previously red). He is a Glute (a species of his kind) and has a wife (Uglette) as well as more than 650 children. He was created by Polokus ( the Bubble Dreamer) who is the creator of their world: the Glade of Dreams.
In the Rayman series, he is portrayed as Rayman's best friend, who he extremely loves, and helps him whenever he is in need of it.
His appearance is fat and blue (as said above) with a pale belly (as well as pale coloured hands) and eyes at the top of his head.
In terms of character he is adorable, helpful, quite dim, friendly and shy. He is also a coward and runs away when he finds himself in the presence of enemies such as Robo-Pirates and Hoodlums, but is very confident under the influence of Plum Juice (which he is ironically allergic to).
Despite not being 'magical', Globox has other astounding abilities. He can conjure a rainstorm out of nothing, as well as slap anyone with an amazing strength and squash anything (and anyone) under all his weight. He can also glide in the air thanks to his massive belly, store objects such as Lums in himself, as well as swim up great heights.
Despite him being fat, he can evidently run as quickly as other characters in the Rayman series.

Get the Globox mug.(noun, can also be used as an adjective) A portmanteau of the words "global" (or "globalist") and "homosexual." Used to sarcastically denote the predominant philosophy espoused by the Western economic elite, formally known as "neoliberalism". It combines ruthless capitalism by transnational corporations with a façade of socially-liberal politics.
The ultimate end state of Globohomo is one in which all sexual, ethnic, racial and national identity is broken down, leaving the demoralized masses to work for $12 an hour in an Amazon warehouse while a small cadre of billionaires rule over them. A poignant vision of Globohomo can be found in Aldous Huxley's 1932 novel, "Brave New World".
While often used by the alt-right, the term is not exclusively conservative in nature, nor is it necessarily anti-homosexual. In fact, considering that Marxism was created in response to working class exploitation, a CEO championing leftist talking points while making 200 times the salary of their employees should be noted as an extreme case of irony.

Citizen #2: "This is the same company that used a paramilitary to murder union workers at their bottling plant in Colombia. It's just Globohomo propaganda."

Get the gooboo mug.Regional to Chicagoland, references the large ethnic Polish-American population, usually blue collar and first generation born. Not often used as an insult, but usually out of affection and ethnic differentiation, as Chicago is both a large melting pot, as well as home to the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw. A more derogatory term is Pollock.
Most well known stereotype exhibiting a Grabowski is the Saturday Night Live skit, "Da Superfans," which makes fun of the Chicago accent, love of "Da Bears," "Da Coach," "Ditka" and love of Maxwell Street Polish Sausage, all of which a proper Grabowski is known to love.
Possible etymology might reference Jim Grabowski, the star running back who played at Taft High school on the Northwest side of Chicago, then starred as running back at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. He played professionally for the Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears in his final season, from 1966-1971. He then went on as a radio color analyst for the Illini, until the 2007 season. It is unlikely he had the accent on radio.

Oh man, last night, I went to this party on the Northwest side, and there were just tons of Grabowskis. Fun times.
