replacium

The element from which politicians, jobsworths, Hollywood action movies, Animorphs books and IKEA furniture are made. Most people will find it impossible to notice or care about any differences between multiple things made of replacium.

"I can't really decide who to vote for. Any suggestions?"
"No. It doesn't matter. They're all made of replacium anyway. Whoever becomes president is going to bomb a Middle Eastern country, incarcerate dark-skinned people, and subsidise agribusiness."

the Replacements 

A seminal alternative rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; one of the driving forces behind the 1980's alternative rock scene who helped pave the way for grunge bands like Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

Fronted by Paul Westerberg, the band formed in 1979 and broke up in 1991. The original members were Paul Westerberg (vocals/guitar), Bob Stinson (guitar), Tommy Stinson (bass) and Chris Mars (drum). In 1985, after the release of their fourth album, "Tim" (widely considered their best album), Bob Stinson was kicked out of the band and replaced by Minneapolis guitarist Slim Dunlap.

They were also referred to jokingly as "the 'Mats", from "the Placemats", which was what a detractor joked their name was.

Joe: "The Replacements are the best band EVER!"

Lucas: "Hahaha, isn't that a movie?"

Joe: *Slaps Lucas*

Lucas: "Ow! What was that for?"

Joe: "You're an asshole. And that movie sucks ass!"
