The Great Moroccan Kleenex Shortage of 08-09 

In March of 2008 the demand for Kleenex's in Morocco increased at an unbelievable rate. The Moroccan King asked for everyone to stay calm. He attributed the increase in demand for Kleenex to Peace Corps volunteers spending too much time in their masterbatorium, spanktuary, spank schack, whack shack, jack shack, flip n jack, finger hut, spank cave, spank wagon, cumgeon, cum station, lunch punch, stroke boat, spank bank, corner of crank, jerk hut, masturbation station, spankmobile, homostead, spank shed, and master barriums. In particular, undercover sources attibute the increase to one "King of Crank" J-Lub (known for exceptional stroking form.) When asked for comment, J-Lub simply said "whatever dude, I'm gonna go listen to some music." The King has told people to hold strong. The King also claimed that supplies are expected to return to normal around the time of Tallstacks 2010.

Season: 3
Episode: 12- No Tomorrow

Time: 5:00
"Bodyguard: Yeah. Sorry, guys. Look, if it was just you two, you can go in right now. But we got nothing but girls in there. People are gonna start thinking it's a lesbian bar.
Barney: Would you excuse us for a minute? (To Ted) Ted I'm going to be hones. I was full of it with that whole Nostradamus thing.
Ted: No! (sarcastic)
Barney: But I'm starting to think there is some serious planetary cr*p going on here tonight. Never in the history of New York City nightclubs has there been a shortage of dudes. Now even during the great dude shortage of 1883. We've got to ditch these girls. (The ones accompanying them)"

When people who are using a full qwerty keyboard are too lazy to type all the letters in a word. Commonly used in emails, forums, blogs and text messages.
