USMC

United States Marine Corps.

Currently operating as their own branch of the US Military, the USMC was originally infantry for the US Navy. What is not commonly known (even among Marines) is that to this day the USMC is still officially part of the Navy. While they may operate independently of the Navy, the USMC has never technically been made its own branch.

Generally, Marines tend to despise the Navy (as well as the Army and Air Force) and its members, regarding them as inferior. This being the case, pointing out that the USMC is part of the Navy is often the simplest way to anger a Marine. Angering a Marine can be very funny or very stupid. Do so at your own risk.
The USMC is technically, officially, and administratively part of the Navy.

midwife

A non-medical professional with no training who "helps" babies be born.

While midwives fell greatly in favor in the past due to modern medicine, they are currently experiencing a slight comeback because hippies are stupid.
"We're thinking about hiring a midwife for our baby instead of a licensed medical doctor."
"Enjoy your stillbirth."

duvet

A blanket. It's just a blanket.
Why do guys like us know what a duvet is? Is this necessary to our survival, in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word?

date rape

Rape committed by someone known to the victim. Ie, not a complete stranger.

The term Date Rape was coined back in the day, when people believed "real" rape was only when the man used a knife, gun or beat the woman half to death.

Nowadays people understand that no means no, and if a guy forces sex on a girl, regardless of whether he threatens violence or hits her, it's called rape. The term date rape has outlived its usefulness.
Date rape is a specific type of rape.

Bloomingdale's

A fancy name for Macy's, as Macy's wholly owns and operates Bloomindale's.
Come shop at Bloomingdale's. I swear we aren't Macy's!

The fact my paycheck says "Macy's" doesn't mean anything...
