A small city of 20,000 people in mid-western Nebraska.
Home to Buffalo Bill's ranch, one of the worlds largest railroad yards, cows, and a bunch of dumb hicks.
Most intelligent people leave North Platte by the time they reach twenty. The rest live a sad existence forever tormented by the regret of staying behind.
The only things to do there are to hang out at Wal-Mart, drive monster trucks, go huntin and fishin, or drink cheap beer.
Person one: "Dude, I hate my life."
Person two: "You must be from North Platte."

Colloquially refers to a pseudo intellectual cynic who hides behind the rouse of critical thinking to support their lack of belief in anything they haven't read in Scientific American.
They think they know everything about everything when in actuality a skeptic is the mirror image of the people they despise because they believe what they want to believe despite evidence to the contrary.
Yoga instructor: Namaste
Skeptic: There is no evidence that yoga is beneficial for anything. Any claims of the healing power of yoga can only be attributed to a placebo effect.
Yoga instructor: What a douche.
