Rodney Basil's definitions

Land Down Under

Australia. Appropriate nickname because of its location (below Asia) and the extreme differences between Australia and other continents/countries.

Animals: Koalas, Kangaroos, Echidnas, Platypi (Platypusses?), and Tasmanian Devils are creatures that only inhabit Australia in the wild.

Seasons: Australian summer is most other countries' winter, and vice versa.

Land: Mostly desert and open plains. Probably contains the highest percent of desert of any continent (Antarctica is tundra, not desert).

This would also be a good nickname for Antarctica, which is literally under every continent.

I'm not sure if the Land Down Under has any urban slang, unless you consider "Blimey!" and "mate" to be UrbanSpeak.

questech

Rating system implemented in the 2003 season to rate MLB umpires' performances. One of the worst ideas in baseball history.

QuesTech may have been a bad idea, but it couldn't possibly have been as bad an idea as making the All-Star Game winner have home field advantage in the World Series.
