Chernorizets Hrabr's definitions

latino

A confusing term created by confused people who think you can classify a race by a language. Residents of "latin" American countries refer to themselves as latino because of their descendants from Spain. Little do they realize that most of said countries had next to zero interbreeding with Spaniards and a vast majority of those who refer to themselves as latin have zero Spanish blood. Countries and people who should obviously not be called latino are somehow lumped under this category simply because they speak Spanish. Blacks born in the Dominican Republic are somehow latino, as are white europeans from Spain. Blacks and Spaniards racially and ethnically have NOTHING in common with residents of the Latin Americas but call themselves the same race. Somehow, under this theory, a Spaniard is latin, but an Italian is not, despite the fact that pretty much everything Latin really came from Rome.

Latino is an overly vague, catch-all term and a misnomer that attributes a culture to people that don't belong to it, at the same time depriving one of their actual heritage. A Mexican is a Mexican. A Spaniard is a Spaniard. A Puerto Rican is a Puerto Rican.

(what goes through a Spaniard's mind when filling out a form...)

Manuel: Hmmm, race? What to choose, what to choose... well, I AM white, so I should probably choose caucasian... Wait, never mind! I speak Spanish! Therefore, THIS is my race! (checks the "latino" box)
-----------------------
(example of the obvious flaws in using the term "latin" to describe a Spanish-speaking person)

Cesar: I'm from Mexico and I have REAL latin culture, something whites could only dream of.

Antonio: Well, I'm Italian, I'm white, and I ACTUALLY come from REAL latins. You know, the ones who lived in Europe, not Central America. Your ancestors come from Native Indians.

Cesar: (goes ballistic and calls Antonio a racist gringo)

MTV

If you like MTV in its current incarnation, you are one of the following:

1.) An emo/punk fag
2.) A wannabe "thug"
3.) The only person on the planet that likes U2
4.) A preppy girl who looks up to Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and JoJo.

There are many problems that people have with mTV nowadays; their constant playing of re-runs (usually of The Real World or Battle of the Sexes part MCLXVII), the fact that they barely ever play music anymore, and when they do, it's just shitty emo or some played-out rapper like Jay-Z. They are also way too concerned about you voting (for Kerry, anyway) and took all of their decent shows off the network like Jackass, Wildboys, and... huh, I guess that's it.

MTV is so bad nowadays that people are starting to miss Nu-Metal.

american football

A sport played chiefly in the United States that requires more strength, speed, toughness, memorization, and training than any other sport... but is still boring as shit to watch. As big of a challenge to play as it is to sit through as a spectator.

Football Retard: American Football is the greatest sport ever because it's harder hitting than rugby! Europeans aren't as strong as Americans, so they play soccer!

Non-Boring Person: True, but soccer and rugby are also physically demanding and 10x better spectator sports that don't have constant anti-climactic stoppages in play, so nobody cares.

Not Urban Slang

A sad excuse people use to have definitions of things they don't like removed from Urban Dictionary, even if they are truthful and non-offensive. Common among those who have no respect for things outside their personal realm of interests.

If everything that is "Not Urban Slang" was removed from Urban Dictionary, we'd have about 300 words.

KoRn

Innovators of the heavy metal subgenre we now know as nu-metal or aggro-rock. Korn currently consist of 4 members now that rhythm guitarist Head has departed the band; Jonathan Davis, a great frontman and talented vocalist, Munky, a rather average guitarist (along with Head), Fieldy, a pretty slick bassist who greatly defines the band's sound, and Dave Silveria, an underrated and highly talented drummer. KoRn is known for their heavy sound, low-tuned guitars and dark themes and humour.

KoRn has many devoted fans around the world who love them for the music, not because of some poseur teen-angst image complex. It is because of these poseurs that many people hate KoRn, basing their opinion on the fact that many people who like the band shop at Hot Topic and suck at life, so the band must suck too. In reality, KoRn are respected by musicians as innovators, and famous because their sound simply kicks ass. KoRn acknowledges the fact that their recent albums have been sub-par due to wiggerism and promises to return to their roots in their next album. Hey, at least they admit it and learn from it, unlike some bands who use the phrase "people don't like it just because it's different" as an excuse for their crapiness.

In conclusion, you don't have to like KoRn... just don't hate on them for stupid reasons. A lot of people think "real" metal bands like Iron Maiden and Lamb of God suck too, so keep that in mind when you bash them.

KoRn may not be the most technical band out there, but they are original and talented.

That's hot

Phrase made famous by wold-renowned genius Paris Hilton. Sounds like the opposite of "That's cool" but means the same thing.

(Blasts Paris Hilton between the eyes with double-barrel shotgun)

"Now THAT'S hot, skank."

Heineken

Shitty overrated Dutch beer that is always bitter and skunky, no matter how old it is, much like Stella Artois.

Americans: Unless it's from the UK or Bulgaria, don't drink imported beer.
