GAWII's definitions
Date rape is an archaic term from a past time.
The definition of date rape: Rape committed by a person known to the victim. That's it. RAPE committed by someone who is NOT a complete stranger to the victim.
Many people nowadays might find this confusing. "Isn't that just rape?" they might ask? Well when the term date rape was coined, no it wasn't. 40, 30, even 20 years ago, what society deemed as rape was a man coming out of a dark alley and forcing sex on a woman with the use of violence; or at least with the strong threat of violence. That act was what society deemed as rape, and if the man was caught he would likely go to prison. Now, what if a woman went to a man's house to have a cup of coffee after a date? If he forced sex on her, even with her pleading him to stop, was that rape? At that time no it was not. If the woman went to the police, all she would likely hear are things like "You were coming on to him, he couldn't help himself." If the case even went to court she would practically be put on trial herself, the defense claiming that she was a slut and the man was just showing her a good time.
It's true. If the man didn't have a knife or beat the woman half to death, clearly it wasn't rape. That's what society believed.
So the term date rape was created. To describe an event of non-consensual sex which didn't fit society's "traditional" view of rape. BUT... today the term is outdated. "Date rape" is now simply considered rape.

Get the date rapemug. Darfur is a region in the country of Sudan. Yet if you ask a liberal, Darfur and Sudan have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. Somehow, they are two completely different and unrelated political issues.
In Darfur, horrible genocide is being committed, hundreds of thousands of innocent people slaughtered needlessly. Everyone must join together to help Darfur, which supposedly the Bush administration does not care about.
However in Sudan, NO ONE is being killed, and anyone who claims so is clearly racist. When Secretary of State Colin Powell gave a speech to say something desperately needed to be done about the genocide in Sudan, he was viciously attacked by liberals; since obviously the situation in Sudan is nothing more than a warmongering Republican lie.

Get the Darfurmug. A diet and/or lifestyle that promotes not using any animal products or byproducts.
The vegan diet and lifestyle are both impossible to follow to the fullest, so most vegans tend to stop when it becomes inconvenient. For example, animal products are used to vulcanize rubber and process steel. So a true vegan would be forced to shun most anything found in an industrialized nation, notably things such as cars, buses, airplanes and bicycles. Also, the vegan diet does not and cannot supply vitamin B12, as this essential vitamin only comes from meat and dairy. So a vegan must either take vitamin supplements, (which one way or another come from an animal) give up the diet altogether, or face B12 deficiency; which can cause brain damage.
Generally, vegans tend to ignore such glaring contractions and problems, preaching that they are the moral elite; even if they happen to be wearing leather shoes.

Get the Veganismmug. A term that was created when someone misheard the expression prank call.
Since the debut of the show Crank Yankers, the name has stuck. This is unfortunate since "crank" call doesn't make any sense.

Person 1: Dude the other day we made a bunch of crank calls, it was hilarious!
Person 2: You made what? You mean PRANK calls, right?
Person 1: Prank call? ... Huh, I guess you're right.

Get the crank callmug. Euphemism for the constant buzzing and hissing heard on vinyl records.
Used by fans of vinyl, who claim this distortion makes records sound better than CDs; which sound too "clean".

Vinyl Fan: Here let me put on this record, then you'll understand. (Record starts playing) Do you hear the warmth?
Normal Guy: Warmth? I just hear a bunch of hissing under the music. Why is that better than a CD?

Get the warmthmug. Obsessive Dick Disorder.
A mental affliction commonly found in hoplophobes, causing an irrational need to constantly think about gun owners’ dicks. Advanced stages even lead to being unable to stop talking about the dicks of gun owners, in great detail. This condition can be alleviated through a daily dose of rational and critical thinking.

Normal person: So I just bought a gun.
Hoplophobe: WOW I BET YOUR DICK IS TINY
Normal person: …What?
Hoplophobe: YOUR THROBBING COCK MUST BE SO SMALL I CAN’T STOP THINKING ABOUT HOW TINY IT IS
Normal person: Have you been tested for ODD? You REALLY should…
