A wannabe vegetarian. Torn by conflicting impulses, a wouldbetarian will go for weeks on end on a strictly green diet, but letting him near a pizza is fraught with danger.
- Hey, is that Peperoni Pizza? I thought you were a vegetarian!
- Well, more of a wouldbetarian. Guess I'm not ready yet...
A travel company that uses multi-level marketing to advertise. The company claims to market travel packages for a lower price than other travel websites such as Expedia and Travelocity. However, one must pay both a sign up fee and a monthly membership fee to purchase a package. If a member can get 4 or more people to join, the monthly membership fee gets waived. If a member gets more than 6 people to join, they will receive a small bonus every month as long as those people are paying their monthly fee or getting new recruits. Typical of a pyramid scheme, the members of WorldVenture's primary focus is to recruit new members instead of actually sell its travel packages.
Worldventures Member: "So you get 4 friends your fee is waived. 6 friends, we'll start paying you!"
Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve is a masterpiece of a song written by the amazing Taylor Swift. It is more than a song but a monologue waiting to be said, loud and clear. It is a song that describes how one her past relationships with a man who was much older than her continues to haunt her despite her ending it and starting fresh, the way it has made her lose sleep and the way it always finds a way to come back to her. She indirectly says that she regrets this in the form of poetic song lyrics whose meaning is often overlooked.
Person 1: ‘would’ve could’ve should’ve is such a good song!’
Person 2: ‘yeah’
EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."
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.
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.
Term used to describe someone who is a mix of both rural (country) and urban (metropolitan) lifestyles/upbringings. He/she is typically equally comfortable in both settings and is able to seamlessly slip back and forth between the two, appreciating the characteristics of each.
