phrase derived from author James Howard Kunstler's influential work 'The Geography Of Nowhere' which, like similar tomes with a social conscience (e.g., 'Fast Food Nation', 'Bowling Alone', et al), challenged Americans to reassess the plight of their urban/suburban landscapes, especially since the end of World War Two. What Kunstler found was a terrain blighted by shopping and strip malls, fast food restaurants, twelve lane super highways, shoddily constructed business and residential developments or what he referred to as 'cartoon architecture'.
Bill : say Tom, where are you living these days ?
Tom : oh, out on 197th Mile Rd. in Paradise County, just east of the Rolling Meadows gated community, adjacent to a Chuckie Cheese's and Major Magic's Pizza Revue, in between the 467th and 468th exit and on ramps to the eighteen lane Interstate, right behind the Wonderland strip mall, right next to a nature band-aid consisting of wood chips and one-foot tall shrubs.
Bill : Wow. In other words, nowhere in particular.
Tom : That's right ! Ain't this country great !

Get the nowhere in particularmug. all those grand and glorious hairstyles women of that era publicly sported - without shame or embarrassment, evidently - only to find themselves forever running scared (especially from new husbands, new boyfriends or partners) of any or all damning photo evidence of such "unfortunate fashion choices" ever seeing the light of day.
New Girlfriend : Ha-ha ! Your mother showed me your high school graduation photo the other day. Boy, did you sport QUITE the mullet back in the day ! What - making certain your football helmet fit nice and snug ? LOL
Me : Sez you ! Have you forgotten what YOU looked like ? Judging from YOUR grad photo, I thought you were one of the Bangles or maybe Sara Jessica Parker's stunt double from 'Square Pegs'.
New Girlfriend : Eeeeeewwwwwww !!!!!! You actually SAW it ?! OMFG - I thought I had burned every known copy of that horrid pic ! Now you'll probably break up with me knowing I once ever looked like that ! I'm cursed, Cursed, CURSED !!!
Me : Big haired ladies of the 'eighties ! LOL

Get the big haired ladies of the 'eightiesmug. 1. Acronym for the National Invitation Tournament, a men's college basketball tournament held in New York City's Madison Square Garden every March at season's end.
2. As it is considered secondary to the more prestigious NCAA men's tourney, it is often thought of as the championship for 73rd place, as the NCAA selects the top 72 college teams in the country, leaving the NIT to choose from the next best 32 teams.
3. What most average American Joes are actually living to achieve in their rather ordinary, mundane lives, whether consciously aware of it or not.

Gus : y'know Zach, when you really get down to it, most of us muckety-mucks are struggling every day just to get that NIT bid of life.
Zach : what ? Y'mean we're all out here battling for a spot between 73rd and 105th place ?
Gus : Yep.
Zach : you could be right, partner.

Get the NITmug. similar to fake it 'til you make it; the art of brown nosing, ass kissing, cozying up to and plain out and out sycophanting some one or some group until you score that desired prize, achieve that goal, realize that golden dream.
I so badly wanted to attend Harvard University that I got the Ivy League Directory, looked up Harvard grads living in my area, called several of them up, sweet talked my way into the life of the one most easily flattered by my egregious flattery, wined and dined him, ran all sorts of errands, and became, in effect, his kept boy. Upon his connections and letter of recommendation, I gained admission - whereupon I dropped his ass and never saw him again. Suck it 'til you fuck it !

Get the suck it 'til you fuck itmug. A meme derived from a joke Dane Cook told sometime in the early 'teens or so. It went viral and since then, no parent in the western hemisphere would dare touch it as a possible name for their newborn daughter.
Young Girl : Mommy, why didn't you name me Karen ?
Mom : Dear, what's wrong with Deuteronomy Lips ? Is this a Boy Named Sue thing ?
Young Girl : No, it's not ! In fact, I happen to LOVE the name Karen ! I think I'm going to sue you and Dad both for not naming me properly ! Hah ! 😛
Mom : Oh, f****in' s**t, you are a Karen ! 😖😫🥵

Get the Karenmug. There I was ... all slobbed out : sitting on my fat ass, drinking beer, blasting huge farts and watching scantily clad women walk by with all of their huge, pendulous cleavage hanging out. And I thought 'is this Iowa ?' (Field Of Dreams Homage). No, it's heaven. Guy's heaven.

Get the guy's heavenmug. abbreviation for bullshit per square inch. The United States usually outpaces the world in this category, especially so since Donald Trump discovered Twitter.
