The man that most anyone would agree should have won the republican presidential nomination in 2000, and would have been a far better president than George W. Bush. However, whether he would make a better president than Obama is highly debatable.
He is also a tough son of a bitch. He was shot down over Vietnam, took a bayonet to the groin, and was held (and tortured) for 5 years in a Vietnam POW camp. Don't nobody fuck with McCain.

Get the John McCain mug.Gasoline. Used in the UK and most of it's former colonies, sans the USA and Canada.
Oddly petrol is NOT short for petroleum.

Get the petrol mug.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 today the term is outdated.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 Vegan Diet mug.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 warmth mug.The Producers was at first a film made by Mel Brooks. Then they made a Broadway musical based on the film. Then they made a film based on the Broadway musical based on the film.
One can only guess how long it will take them to finally come full circle and make a NEW Broadway musical based on the film based on the Broadway musical based on the film.

Get the The Producers mug.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!
