Common Names: Greater and Lesser BillyBob
Scientific Name: Homo Derilectus

Geographical Range: Most of the US, especially 'Da Souhf'.

Description: Slender but with a surprisingly large belly, BillyBobs have few teeth and fewer brains. Look for unique markings such as prison tattoos, scarring, gashes, old bullet wounds, hair lip and tumors in the older set.

Scratching of armpits, pulling at the crotch area and low, rumbling belching are a commonly exhibited physical pattern. It is believed these actions transmit evidence of fertility to the female of this species.

The male marks territory by first consuming unreasonable amounts of inexpensive alcohol, which is then dispersed, sloppily by urination, around the perimeter of the desired territory. Territory, or "mah place" may include bars, brick walls, car door handles, closets, sleeping relatives or themselves on occasion.

Mating is brief and completely unsatisfying to the female of the species who will often run to other male BillyBobs in hopes of "gittin' hooked up wif' some-un who'll treat me raht." Later the couples will reassemble in a public forum, such as The Jerry Springer Show, Maury or Cops.

Anarcrust - A self proclaimed anarchist who protests everything mainstream, apparently including bathing and good hygiene. Female Anarcrusts never shave, because they feel it is conforming to the Westernized image of the ideal woman, something they desperately wish to undermine.

Anarcrusts frequent political rallies and unfortunately take everything you say as if it referred to something political. For example: "These next four years of college are going to be murderous," to which they'd respond, "Especially because Hitler was just re-relected for another term."

I read Mr. Lanham's article in the Washington Post this morning and was intrigued by his invitation for the name of the type of woman who hates pretty girls. This is what I came up with: Lois Steamers.

Twikers - In coastal Southern California, twikers are tweakers (crystal meth abusers) who ride bikes around the neighborhood. One of various posibilities has caused thenm to end up without a car: 1) They never had one, 2) They sold it for drug money, 3) They traed it for drugs, 4) The car was impounded. In the summer they can be seen riding on the beach at low tide. This is not an unusual activity (it's the beach version of mountain biking). But twikers take it to the next level by riding IN the water. Since riding in salt water ruins a bike, it is likely that the bike is either borrowed or stolen. Or else the twiker is at the end of a three-day meth binge and thinks he's riding a seal that is lolling its way up the shore. Twikers are rare, solitary creatures. They are skinny and have long stringy hair and tattoos (i.e., they look like tweakers). I would give them an 8+ on the indio rank scale.

Arguing with a Worderer is alwasy an entertaining experience, as they are so stupid that they instantly resort to insults and other such stupidities. However, they can't even properly insult another because they can't even spell most of the curse words they wish to use and generally make themselves seem just as stupid as they actually are.

They spend their time watching samurai movies, debating over whether Bruce Lee, Sonny Chiba, Jet Li, or Jackie Chan would come out on top in a fight (always coming to the conclusin that Bruce would be the victor,) and attempting to master kendo. Snowbloods tend to wear ninja headbands, carry throwing stars or nunchakus, or run around with a bokken. Female snowbloods will often wear mandarin dresses as well as do all of the above. They are fairly harmless as they spend far more time talking about how cool Toshiro Mifune is than actually trying to imitate him, but all Snowbloods do have an innate attraction to sharp weapons.

Best Buys - Usually male, the Best Buy exists solely to acquire DVDs. A Best Buy won't have money to go out with his friends, yet he somehow finds the bread to buy the Japanese re-release of Starship Troopers 2, the widescreen director's cut of course. Unhip Best Buys can usually be seen at most large electronics and media retailers in suburbia, while hip Best Buys can be spotted near their independent video store in Williamsburg. Best Buys are good to keep around to resolve movie trivia issues and to find out when a new movie is getting released on DVD, but other than that they're generally useless.

Podonkagee: Originally from the South or Midwest, or a depressed pocket of a prosperous state, such as upstate New York or Western PA, the Podonkagee's new habitat is an area of the Northeast that has jobs, such as NJ, NYC, or Boston. The Podonkagee spends every bit of vacation time constructing four-day weekends to go back to his or her home area, frequently spending vast sums on air travel and gasoline. The Podonkagee can usually be overheard complaining about the high cost of housing in NJ when compared to Podonk County, when the Podonkagee could easily afford a McTownhouse in Suffolk if she wouldn't spend all her money flying back to Podonk County for every second cousin's kid's birthday party. Similar rants can be triggered when the topic of NJ or NYC drivers is brought up. The Podonkagee never bothers to find new friends or establish a home in the new evirons, as every Podonkagee's intented purpose is to return home at some point. Pointing out that home is a state of mind is a waste of breath when encountering a Podonkagee.

Podonkagees can become very annoying after telling for the 88th time, how for his rent in Manhattan he can own a 5 bedroom house with a 2 car garage and a heliport in Ohio. Simply remind the Podonkagee that his home state is very similar to the state in which he currently resides, only without jobs.

Known to have profies on Black Planet.com that usually boast their Christian values while having semi-nude or other suggestive pictures of themselves. If they happen to be showbiz parents, they will constantly thank God and profess their devotion to Him, while encouraging their famous daughter to dress like a ho in public. If they're famous men, they usually divert scandal by putting out an Inspirational song, even though they usually write sexually charged songs comparing women to automobiles. May complain about the current administation and its "uncle toms" such as Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell, yet voted for Bush because they're against gay marriage.

homo thug - a ghetto gay person, usually black, and often found in clubs that play techno versions of rap and r&b songs

Posted by: staggerlee at January 13, 2005 08:45 PM
---------------------------------------------------------------

homothug-- (addendum) they are usually found in groups of three or more, standing RIGHT in front of the door to the club. if male, he is usually decked out in hip-hop attire (ie, marc ecko, akademics, outkast) and not easily ID'd as being gay, except for the queeny fruitloop that he's grinding on at the club.example: karamo from this season of MTV's "the real world" if female, she usually is dressed in the legal minumum of clothing allowable, whether or not she has the body for it, and came to the club with all her girls. they roam like a pack of ugly mary j blige wannabes. both sexes are usually found in little hole in the wall clubs (you know, with one way in, and one way out) that cater to the homothug by playing rap, ragga, and r&b, with bartenders that offer to make drinks like "the incredible hulk" (hennessy and hypnotic) and hand out free drinks when three 6 mafia's "sippin on some sizzurp" comes on. if this environment is not readily available, they will often frequent gay techno bars that play trancy/dancy remixes of rap/r&b (ie, missy elliot's "4 my people" basement jaxx rmx). if this environment has a drag show, they will often be front row at the show, and trying to upstage the drag queen by loudtalking during the entire act, or showing off their dance moves in the aisle when that one song that moves them is played. example--drag queen comes out to perform kelis's "milkshake". suddenly you hear, "girl, that's my song!!" and the audience now chooses between ignoring the homothugs f'ing up the show and punching them. overall, good friends to have, scary to date.

They get through college on looks and money (who needs books?), and are usually profeesional students, since graduation usually means self-sufficiency and a separation from daddy's precious money.

Hair is usually frosted, or died to some obsurd color that one would only find at a rave. Red lipstick,blue eyeshadow, in an effort to relive the glory days of the 80's.
It is not uncommon to see them rocking the "Denim Tuxedo" (all denim, everywhere.)

"Sharptons"
50-something overweight African American males in middle management or supervisory positions. (ref: Al Sharpton) Akin to the office lichen, the Sharpton regales everyone with how they invented the wheel "back in the day," give tours of
the office to visitors and make the dumpster seem like NASA (which they invented too).
Generally a grandstander and a poser, Sharptons are quick to make speeches about office morale and productivity though they contribute to none of it. They are the messengers of the office staff meeting with all gossip and hearsay -none of which will ever come to pass. But still they must reiterate all the recycled bull from straightshooters 2 or 3 to the increasingly deaf ears of subordinates to appear legit. Sharptons may have a
casual attire around
the office, but do not be fooled. Come office party time or visiting dignitaries, they all parade in shiny suits from the "Steve Harvey" collection. Sharptons' habitats include a younger female version of themselves who they're sponging off of or the liquor store. Any topic will get the Sharpton going and it's best not to engage him in any subject unless you have a free few hours at the office to hear the life story of his creations. (topics to avoid: the Afro, Pam Grier, and grandma's turnip greens) But if the topic of yesterday's "Maury Povich" on "who's my baby's daddy?" arises, you are safe. A non multi-tasker if there ever was one, the Sharpton makes the simplest of office memos about his being out of the office on an upcoming vacation, herculean efforts of all morning affairs at the computer and huge typefaces. Most likely heading off to glorious Bermuda, he will return with stories of exotic mixed drinks and other tales from the beach about the blubbery friends just like him who were in attendance.
And beware of the Sharpton's generous offer, his grand favor to you of a special phone number
for the deal of the lifetime (which he also discovered) or you will be saddled with telemarketing phone calls for free
time-share weekends for the rest of your natural life!

"Grandpappy Do-Nothing"
At first reading of this moniker, one would assume this type of person to be
the retired widower who sits in the mall all day - the only male in his age bracket with a driver's license who drives all the widows in the neighborhood to the beauty parlor and keeps watch over their handbags. But no. This is the precursor for such person. Do not be shocked, but "grandpappy do-nothing," is actually employed!
He is the office's
"colorful old coot."
"Grandpappy do-nothing" is approaching retirement age and getting in his practice on the job.
Though still a babe
dumping in his diaper on V-E Day, grandpappy do-nothing likes to extend his years (and the laws of physics), by telling tales of long ago - everything from the sinking of the Lusitania to the great Gold Rush of 1849. A life long blue collar employee, grandpappy's only redeeming quality is his disgust over
"straightshooters" and "suits." "They're just "little whippersnappers," he is often quoted. "They don't do anything."
Of course, neither does grandpappy. One might think he'd be a "lifer,"
and it's not out of the realm of possibility. But most often, grandpappy has been around. He's too cantakerous to go the long haul anywhere. He beams when he tells the tale to anyone within earshot of how he told the bigwigs to take their job and shove it. Other tales from grandpappy often center around his "indestructiblity" and his third or fourth wife. Grandpappy has often had a couple of organs removed due to malignancy and has met the grim reaper and laughed in his face. This might make the less forceful among us re-evaluate our health priorities.
But grandpappy won't give up his cigarettes even for chemotherapy. Hell, he doesn't have to have a stomach or a gall bladder, so he
can survive with one lung. Most bathroom humor leaves the boy's restroom in high school, but grandpappy just won't let go. His descriptions of his "sexcapades" with his latest wife are not for the weak of constitutions. And they're out for all to hear. Grandpappy missed the seminar on sexual harrassment and most likely never signed the paper in his employee file.
The workday for grandpappy is generally filled with cigarette and coffee breaks and further tales of old. Nothing in today's mechancial world (which he is supposed to be on top of) matches the contraptions of old. And he has seen (and installed) them all - the steam powered television and the kerosene camera. Ask grandpappy to change a lightbulb and you're likely to get a tirade about filling out a work order and putting it in his box (which he never checks). Basically worthless, his prime function in the workplace is to fry a whole turkey or barbeque a half a cow in his backyard for summer company outings. It's in this environment that "grandpappy do-nothing" is actually working and you marvel. But you'll never see this on the job. And when you finally meet his younger wife number 3 or 4, you scratch your head in disbelief. She may appear to be perfectly normal, but still you must wonder, "What in the world does she see in this old buzzard?"
Grandpappy do-nothing is pretty common throughout the south and habitats include homes in the country requiring small tractors to mow and the tool section of Home Depot. Idio scale: 5

also: Foodservisexuals:
middle-aged, often overweight men with moderately well-paying jobs who fall in love with the girl behind the counter at the coffee shop or deli. The subsequent situation is this: the girl behind the counter has no choice but to be behind the counter; it's her job. She has no choice but to act nice and interested in every customer that walks through the door. The Foodservisexual interprets this as the girl waiting heind the counter for him every day, about to burst with her desire to hear all about his day and his life. It's all harmless at first, but then the Foodservisexual finds more and more ways to get into the counter girl's life, and will jump at every opportunity to spend money on her, until he ends up as one more stalker she has to worry about and change jobs to escape.

They appear oblivious to their attack on your personal space, but there is a direct correlation between how close they are and the level of uncomfortable personal information about themselves that they are revealing to you. These personal topics usually range from whether or not they believe they sucessfully inseminated the wife just a few short hours before, to how they can't sit due to a constellation of ass boils that have been plaguing them all week.

MORE on "The Sharpton"

"The Sharpton" is all about "the community" and feels
he makes great strides in helping it out. Though primarily offering lip service, the Sharpton's feeble attempts at good deeds usually come back to haunt him with numerous faxes
and letters from organizations which
he had no idea he'd even talked to. The hallmark of the "Sharpton" are his after five minute memory losses.
Forever boasting of his grand deeds and character, the Sharpton is often "in absentia" when the general "suit" manager drafts the
office to participate in Junior Achievement.
But what else would pleases a "suit" more than an organization which prides itself in telling school kids
the difference between nickels and dimes, how to build cities, and sublimially direct them into becoming future assholes! But the Sharpton must stay behind and look after his department. He would love to participate in Junior Achievement, but duty calls.
This is made clear for all to hear with
bands and whistles.

Note: If anyone enjoyed my first "Sharpton" installment, there is a typo: after
"2 or 3" should come the word "time."
Robert, give us more
room for our diatribes!

Milwaukee's Fargone "Fargo" Girl:
She talks like she is from the movie Fargo with long drawn out vowels brought to the front of the lips (ie "Oh" becomes "Oooo" - "Ahh" becomes "aaa" as found in 'apple') Teens like this stagger their words apart, choppily, as if they are mentally challenged, but it is generally nervous, gossipy, teen angst.
She is usually of Scandinavian, Polish or German descent because of the blond hair and blue or green eyes, lined with eyeliner that matches her eye color and ice-pink lipstick. Her haircut is a decade or two old already- think long frazzled 80s cuts with pom-pom bangs and perm. In summer she wears neon tie-dyed t-shirts and cut-offs like she thinks she's "so California" in her own mind. If she does wear the latest fashions, it's to copy some pop icon like Britney Spears, whom she talks about all the time.
In summer, she loves volleyball, grill outs with "brats"(German Bratwurst sausage) and MGD beer. In cold weather its all about "Dem Packersss".
Usually loud mouthed, a penchant loud/hoarse laugh or girly giggle (no in between here), and drinks way too much, she gets a lot of attention hanging out at some corner bar with other blue-collar folks.

"Muh-muhs"

(de-evolution of the
word: mother...mom...mama....muh-muh)
30ish, mostly Southern white women
with an overly parental relationship with their own mother
(i.e. their "muh-muh").
Most people want their ties to their parents at a safe distance. While everyone wants an adult relationship with their mother and father when one is grown, it's often
comforting to know that there is still
a parent/child bond going on no matter how old you are. As long as your folks aren't prying into your personal life or other embarrassments, things can exist in the status quo.
Not so with a "muh-muh." Her relationship with her own mother is an odd mix of co-dependency and absolute control over the woman who gave birth to her.
Muh-muhs delight is to rip the reins of authority right out of her mother's hands as soon as possible. She is more than happy to take charge of the extended family and all around her.
And more often than not a muh-muh's mother is no match for her own daughter.
A muh-muh's mother is either the grandmotherly type who hasn't sense enough to get out of a shower of rain - bakes cookies but essentially a nitwit. Or muh-muh's mother is a 35
year old grandmother who smokes a carton of Winstons a day and has skin like shoe leather from all those teen years tanning with Crisco.
Either's power is easily usurped.
A muh-muh can either be as cheerful as a "happy
monday" or as grim as an "alpha weasel." Often the cheerful types have husbands named Randy, Ronald, or Donald who are into
Nascar. The grim ones have husbands named Eric, John, or
Bruce who would get out of the marriage in a heartbeat were it not for the children. The cheerful muh-muh has no aspirations in the office. She'd quit work in a minute if Randy only had a good job.
As it is now, Randy can not handle a credit card and spends any disposable income on Nascar souveniers
or his "motor-cicle." Cheerful muh-muhs delight in tales of coupon clipping and home freezing and where you can get a polyester pantsuit for $6.95 at some outlet (requiring $25.00 of gasoline to get there). But
the cheerful muh-muh
is basically harmless though prone to endless conversations about her family with her co-workers and/or the totally disinterested. But the grim muh-muh is much more dangerous.
Often thin-lipped with a round pale face and a hairstyle straight from the animated "Peggy Hill," grim muh-muhs
are just that - grim. Constantly
judgemental, they cloak themselves in a righteous indignation on just about everything. Often a religious zealot to boot (a pentacostal no less), they will not allow their children to go trick
or treating because it's "the devil's business."
But what both cheerful and grim have in common is their relationship with their mothers.
They shop with and for their mothers. They take their mothers to doctor's appointments and make sure they take their "meddi-cations." It's always, "I've got to leave early to do something for muh-muh." "Muh-muh's got a doctor's
appointment that she'll forget if I don't take her." "I
got to take these shelled peas over to muh-muh so she can cook them for Sunday."
One would think that
once she had control over everyone, a muh-muh would love it. And she does. But she will never admit it.
For her tale is a long and mournful one about the responsibility and burden her mother is. A muh-muh rules everything with an iron fist, but wants everyone within earshot to believe she is a martyr, a self-sacrificer of biblical proportions.
Idio rank: Cheerful: 3.5
Grim: 7.9

Library Rats: homeless and/or unemployed people who hang out at the library all day, every day. They frequently hog the public internet terminals to do important things like play chess, games, or check email. They also read or pretend to read books, magazines, etc. Most are harmless but occassionally they will go off their meds and start to create problems. Some extra difficult ones have been known to get "banned" from the library. Also, these people arrive at the library about five minutes before it opens and leave about five minutes before it closes.

Yankeegohomers: People from the North or Midwest who move down South, live there for years with no plans to move back up North, and then criticize the South nonstop. They criticize Southern food (they usually hate sweet tea and barbecue), customs (they hate that Southern strangers like to chit-chat in line at the grocery store, bank, etc.), dress, traditions, weather, and accents to name a few. They are convinced the Yankee way is right and that Southern ways are "wrong". We just want to let them know they are free to move back anytime.

Atheist Theologians: People who claim they are atheist or agnostic but proceed to read every book under the sun about religion, including Catholic church history, Catholic doctrine, and obscure religious texts. They never go to church and hate organized religion but yet will go on long diatribes about Christianity (or why it is wrong or fabricated). These people often grow up in an overly rigid religious environment (fundamentalist Protestant) and this is their way of rebelling. They may occassionally attend a Unitarian church. They also attend Atheist meetings. They are often overeducated and quite knowledgable, yet full of themselves. Get them started on the topic of religion and pack a lunch. Also, keep your mouth shut and do not disagree (just smile and nod).

Desperate Susans:

Desperate Susans have a high school education and low self esteem. They make little money but spend like there's no tomorrow. Many will get a relative to bail them out of debt, only to rack up the credit card yet again. Desperate Susans must always have a boyfriend. Because they are desperate, he is always a chain-smoking alcoholic who is about 15-20 years older than Desperate Susan. The boyfriend will either have no job or a very low-paying job. When he leaves the picture, Desperate Susan will immediately get another boyfriend, who will always be another chain-smoking alcoholic.

Often posess generous culinary talents (limited to vegerian asian cuisine) and can occasionally win the bemused groan by way of making terrible puns or by unleashing their encyclopedic knowledge of rock-stars-who-share-their-ethnic-background.

Urban Ranchers: Folks who do not live in rural surroundings, but keep chickens anyway. They try to keep them indoors, sometimes even in a fish tank, but invariably, the chickens will escape in the following manner: They'll hop out of the fish tank, flap their way across an industrial carpet littered with crack pipes, Cheerios, the hardened guts of a 7-11 burrito, and the like, jump up onto a rented piece of sectional sofa, and make their exit through the broken screen window where they will be found under the 1989 Buick century eating something cleaner than what they found on the carpet.

They can be found at parties thrown by the like-minded and always trying to drink the most to impress - then making fools of themselves by vomiting. They are young adults with teen-angst and middle-school education. always talking about how drunk they get at a certain party.

Vulgarianistas (or Vulgariannas) are outgoing, loud and assertive women who spend most of their time drinking and having sex.

These women are typically physically strong and shapely, though they often have a "pouch" in the abdominal area which has been nurtured by the consumption of hard liquor and Pabst Blue Ribbon.

Their taste in music includes Gangsta rap, Heavy Metal, and sometimes Country.

Unlike Jock Teases, who tend to have no interest in sports and follow the games to win the affection of men (Lanham, 2004), Vulgarianistas genuinely enjoy what are often perceived as male pleasures including beer bongs, street fighting, and casual sex.

Habitats include bars, house parties, and parking lots.

The Vulgarianista is often heard before being seen due to her loud outbursts of profanity (especially frequent is the use of the word "bitch") and her frequent commands directing others to drink shots.

Visually, she can be identified by the presence of a large tattoo on her lower back and clearly visible thong underwear (Although some Vulgarianistas eschew underwear altogether.

The Vulgarianista is frequently accompanied by her boyfriend (or "friend with benefits") who is a comparatively quiet and physically large man wearing a baseball cap.

Common in Northern New England, Vulgarinistas are present in smaller numbers in other parts of the republic.

Trustafarian

A 20-something white male or female who often sports patchwork courduroys, dreadlocks, and Birkenstocks. However, upon closer inspection an expensive Tag Heuer watch is often noted. A crocheted pouch around the neck on a leather thong often holds "kind bud" while the lanyard attached to the belt buckle holds the keys to the Saab, Pathfinder or Volvo. A New England prep school pedigree, slim to nonexistent resume', and mysterious source of income often linked to Wall Street parents are frequent accoutrements.

Habitat: "The 3 B's" (Boulder, CO; Berkeley, CA; Burlington, VT).

Often, an adolescent or nascent trustafarian will be known to wear long dreads and natty clothes through college before showing up to graduation with a "square" new haircut and a shiny new job in finance, courtesy of pops.

Etymology: Trust, from the trust fund that fuels the herb habit. -afarian, from the wannabe rastaman dreads and the aforementioned herb habit.

collar poppers.
found in high densities in fairfield county, connecticut. these preppies don't go anywhere unless they are wearing a pastel colored polo shirt with the collar popped up. to be even cooler they sometimes have words written behind their collars so one can only view the inscription if the collar is popped. also these predominantly rich WASPs will wear two or more polos on top of each other and pop all the collars at once for extra points.

Gino/Gina - (this term most often used in the Greater Toronto Area)

They are usually of Italian descent; however this is changing, as many non-Italians choose to identify themselves as ginos/ginas.

They are spoiled mammas boys/girls who get whatever they want and have an unlimited supply of daddy's money.

They are typically between the ages of 13-25, however, if two of them marry, or are involved long-term, they will keep up their false image.

Typical Ginas can be spotted with their "crunched" or stick straight hair. They generally wear thick black eyeliner and pluck their eyebrows into oblivion. They usually wear foundation that does not match their skin tone which cakes, and are fond of concealer-swathed lips or garish "baby pink" lip glosses that congeal in a gooey mess. They are fond of anything pink and sparkly for their face.

Their hair is almost always a natural brown, however the top layer is bleached yellow blonde, and the underneath (near the neck) part of their hair is black, or blood red. They usually have horrible roots to match.

They generally have many piercings because it makes them look “cool”. These are generally found as follows: Multiple in ear (lobe/cartilage), usually nose, tongue or labret, and navel. Also, Ginas tend to get “claws” (excessively long fake nails) and they like to go “tanning”. They never realize that they are going to get cancer; as long as they look “hot” they’re happy.

They are usually wearing tops too tight for their body that show off excess cleavage (not the good kind either, more like the “indecent exposure” kind of cleavage), and very tight jeans. If they are not wearing jeans, they are wearing very short skirts. They have a particular fondness for anything Puma, Adidas, or Parasuco. Diesel is a must-have brand. While many Ginas claim to tout Diesel, they most often cannot afford it/cannot find it. They can also be seen wearing Playboy accessories, however most have no clue what it means. They have a penchant for wearing gigantic hoochie mama hoops. So large, that it can be the size of their head sometimes. (With no brain, of course their hoops have to make up for it!)

Often not very bright, they don’t have a very successful life for them. Their main goals are to marry a rich Italian man, and bring more scum into the earth. Job? What job? Daddy’s money floats them by, until they find a lover to support them.

If you happen to approach one on the street, do not talk to them. Do not make eye contact. They will get jealous, and call their “crew” to go “beat you up”. They cannot harm a fly so do not worry. They are not often seen before 10 pm, as they are worrying about looks, or sleeping. They only emerge to go clubbing at cheesy euro-trash clubs that play “House/Dance/Euro” music.
Ginos are very rarely seen traveling alone; they are always with a group of more than 5 people. Since normal people would try and jump them, they find safety in numbers. Ah, this is the blind leading the blind!

Ginos must have spiky hair, or they let it grow down “soccer style”. They must own a ridiculous number of European football jerseys, preferably Roma, AC Milan, or Juventus. They wear very tight jeans, almost as tight as the women and they like the same brands of clothing. They usually have one earring (IN THE LEFT EAR ALWAYS!!!!) to give them “cred”.

Ginos usually drive ricer cars, and some higher cars end depending on their parent’s income. An urban Gino will drive an Acura, while a suburban Gino will drive a Honda Civic. It is always a Honda Civic. No exceptions. Ever. Usually, they are the really old ones, and they are modded so that they hang so low on the ground that they cannot drive over speed bumps. A “richer” Gino will drive a BMW, or whatever daddy bought them for their 16th or 17th birthday.

They usually have sour attitudes, thinking that they are “all that”. They hate anyone who is not more than ½ Italian (even if they are not Italian themselves), and all other normal sane and rational people.

To gain “cred”, they hang out with the “thugs” and the “gangsters”. They usually just do this for hookups on weed. And for the clubbing types, they use E.

Overall, you must avoid them at all costs. You hate them more than they hate you, but they don’t know it. Knowledge is a weapon. Use it well against their grade 3 vocabulary.

Then they divorce him and take his business. Any female children are spoiled while those with the misfortune of being born with an XY chromosome are shipped off to military school. Psycho Dykos are all talk and have poor business skills. They cannot admit to this, and usually take it out on their assistants in a coke - fueled frenzy of psychological projection. They like to give off the air that they are wild n crazy, havin lots of fun. But their internal spiritual deadness usually means they find everything boring, save for cocaine and mutual cunnilingus.

Teletarists - friends who play the guitar and like to call you up and play over the phone. At first its interesting, and you find it amazing that they can come close to matching just about any song you name. Then you learn that it takes about one afternoon to learn the chords A, D and E , and that by putting these together you can come up with a crude semblance of any song heard. After this you begin to simply humor the teletarist, but then it gets annoying as you're sucked into his ego trip. For instance
You: "Man I hope my car doesnt need a new timing belt, that costs a fortune.."
Teletarist: a,d,e,d
'smoke on the water.."...a,d,e,d
As you can imagine, these 'coverstaions' can get quite annoying.
PS before the teletarist's chords begin getting played, there is usually a warning of sorts, generally something along the lines of "Dude, check this out.."

NRACLUer- Libertarian types who are simultaneously members of both the ACLU and the NRA. They are pro-choice, pro-gun, and despise the religious right and hippies equally. Most voted for Bush because they think Kerry is a pussy. Highly educated, they love America but don't trust the government. NRACLUers enjoy fine art and low art - they listen to NPR and watch reality TV. They don't really care about the environment and tend to be a bit racist, but hey, the crime rate statistics don't lie. NRACLUers worship Ayn Rand and the creators of South Park. NRACLUers are chameleons and get along well with both liberals and conservatives. They are highly educated, almost always possessing college or graduate degrees, but have had life experiences outside academia to lead them to adopt a less idealistic world view. They are exclusively white, upper middle class, and male.

Whovians-Similar to Trekkers, Whovians are the fans of Doctor Who, a British sci-fi show about the time-traveller known as the Doctor (played by ten actors in all as of 2005) that ran for twenty-six years on BBC and has now returned after a fifteen-year hiatus. Whovians are generally male (though some are women), and a sizable percentage are gay. They will discuss and quibble over everything over the show, with several sects existing (the anti-JNT crowd(people who hated producer John Nathan-Turner), the anti-RTD crowd(fans who don't like the new series, produced by Russel T Davies), the McCoy bashers (people who didn't like Sylvester McCoy, the star of the show in the late eighties), and other similar little sub-divisions. Many fans are rather anal-retentive when it comes to collecting the various episodes on tape and DVD, the CD stories, the hundreds of books that have been published, as well as short stories, toys, comics, and more. British Whovians tend to differ considerably in tastes from American/Canadian/Australian/New Zealander Whovians, but this is not always the case. Many Whovians don't like the term "Whovian" either, claiming it's crass and too American-sounding. They are a strange but fun bunch, just never mention the crappy aliens in a serious conversation (stick with the Daleks and Cybermen, ignore the Bandrils and the Nimon).

The Animal Cracker Brigade: That army of no-so-homeless kids always seen either in the park or in front of a trendy, local coffee shop. From far away, they always look like they're dressed in olive drab fatigues, ready for a Mad Max adventure, no matter what they're actually wearing, because if they washed their clothes more often, they wouldn't look as homeless. They're always armed with vast quantities of animal crackers and peanut butter-cheese cracker packages that one of their moms got at the bulk food store. As the Animal Cracker Brigade is mainly white in color, the optional dreadlocks are either clip-on or manufactured according to the directions on a web site.

Situational Racists: Typically, adamantly racist. This vehement racism lies dormant when confronted with a large, muscle bound person from a type people they hate. Cowaring in fear, they will kiss the everloving ass of the large black man till he leaves the dirty hillbilly bar they reside in. Then its all "Ah HATE dems nughuhs!!" This fairweather racist usually listens to very angry death metal, drives a large early seventies pickup truck with at least 6 inches of lift and has a truly ironic skater/mohawk cut with hair down to their ass. They reside in rural communities because.. well mainly.. that shit doesnt fly anywhere else.

Mallwalkers - people so awestruck by shopping malls that they are forced to slow down to a snail's pace in order to take it all in. Often creating patches of traffic in the vicinity of whatever the current trendy store is. They tend to stay to the right and roam in counterclockwise patterns.
Occasionally, one finds a rogue mallwalker that wanders with no apparent reason other than blindly obstructing the movements of others.

Mallwalkers tend to be wide white folks who behave like movie extra parodies of tourists, and think that everyone else has all day to spend loitering.

Mansvestite: That breed of transvestite who appears as if she has put forth the least amount of effort in convincing the world she is a lady, but who in fact puts forth an extraordinary effort in convincing the world that she has put no effort into her appearance as a lady. Her heroes include every member of Monty Python, both members of Little Britain, and all the old ladies who meet regularly in the puzzle room of the local nursing home.

Most mansvestites weigh in at over 350 pounds and have worn their backs out in their old sanitation jobs. Therefore, they require the aid of a Rascal scooter to get around. The dress code heavily encourages the wearing of floral housecoats, but the occasional thin, brightly-colored polyester mini skirt with matching halter top is acceptable for social occasions where one might want to show off a hairy belly or two. Extensive research has shown that a three-day growth of facial hair is optimal for holding vast amounts of face powder and for drawing the eye toward the badly drawn, orangy lips. The wig, naturally, is the key element of any outfit worn by a mansvestite. Preferably purchased from the Dangerous Liaisons gift shoppe, the mansvestite’s wig is then left to the cats for an approximate thirteen-week gestation period, after which it is ready to be placed upon the head with no ceremony at all. Absolutely no care is given to tuck in any natural hair the mansvestite might have peeking out under the wig.

Should not be confused with the Translibrarian, who likes to dress like a lady who takes off her glasses in porno films.
