dymo

A person who feels the need to apply a - usually negative - label to each person and then treat them as such. Often short-sighted and ignorant, their preferred information resources are gossip magazines, entertainment celebrity shows and personal mobile devices. Named after a popular label maker often found in your local stationary department.

That dymo just called her a slut based on the smell of her perfume.

tolerhate

To have to put up and shut up with a person, situation, co-worker etc. when you really want to shut them down, wipe out their family and anyone else who is in agreement and against yours when you know you're right.

I tolerhate my job and boss, but I must pay the bills and remain employed in order to raise my family.

drunk uncle

The one who chose the bottle's curves over a woman's curves and never reproduced for whatever reason.

The family portrait never included drunk Uncle Fester because he was too drunk to stand for the photo.

WV Specials

Short form for 'white van' audio speakers. If someone in a white van approaches you - usually in a mall parking lot - and says they have a surplus of home audio speakers they're willing to literally 'give away', that's because they can't even do that....until they meet someone like you. You think this is a break in life....imagine full high fidelity sound for only $100! Truth is they are acoustically crap to begin with and will only last a few hours when pushed. If your 'lucky' enough to find a carpeted set and you have a cat, you could ditch the speakers and add play toys your kitty would love scratching these boxes.

I have a pair of WV Specials that still have one tweeter working after the party ended. I just bought them last week.

Black Panther

Militant organisation of Black Americans founded in Oakland, California in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. Called upon Blacks to arm themselves against their oppressors. At the same time, provided free breakfasts for children in ghetto areas, (financed by donations from local merchants and wealthy sympathisers), and opened schools and medical centres. Organisation waned as leaders fled USA after arrests on various charges, police shootings and in-house fighting.

The Black Panthers is a fascinating movement, so challenging and controversial to American culture.
