hockey hair

A mid-length, fluffyish mullet associated with hockey players, especially those from Canada and Eastern Europe in the 1990s. Compare football hair.

Now that's something you don't see anymore -- that guy's got the old-school hockey hair. Business in front, beating in the back.

Doreknob

A person, usually a self-proclaimed leftist, who is a fan of pseudoleftist podcaster and “comedian” Jimmy Dore. Usually the burned-out husk of a BernieBro; likely to be fond of saying “I didn’t leave the Left, the Left left me”.

He used to be a BernieBro; now he can't stand Bernie so he became a Doreknob. I wonder if anyone's remind him that a leftist should never be a Trump supporter.

TI-83

A device created by Texas Instruments primarily as a productivity sink for math students. Has long since been replaced by models capable of creating even more distraction (like the TI-84 Plus).

It is true that I would never have gotten through college calculus without my TI-83, but seriously -- what did my professor think I was doing with it out in the middle of friggin' July with all the other summer school tards?
