Blue state

NON-BIASED DEFINTION: In recent years, in the U.S. only, a blue state has come to mean a state that traditionally votes Democrat, as opposed to a red state which traditionally votes Republican.

In the past, media would use maps with red for one party and blue for the other, with no set standard. The current trend was set during the 2000 Presidential election, when NBC used it. The race was very close, and because of this, Tim Russert was often heard to say things like "Bush needs x more red states in order to win, and Gore needs x more blue states in order to win." Because the coverage was being watched so intently by so many people, the color scheme stuck, and is now used by all networks.

What many people don't realize is that this color scheme is actually the opposite of traditional political colors. Red has always been associated with socialism and communism (i.e. extreme forms of liberalism) as seen on flags of countries such as the P.R.C., the U.S.S.R., and the D.P.R.K. On the other hand, blue is most often associated with conservatism, and sometimes facism (i.e. the extreme form of conservatism). Most nations still use this color scheme.

It may be that NBC assigned these colors at random, or it may be because Republican and red both start with R. Neither party has officially adopted these colors. This color scheme has often led to confusion when residents of other countries see a political map of the U.S. or hear Americans discussing red states versus blue states.

When I hear the term "blue state" I automatically think of the United States or the United Kingdom, not New York or California. And when I hear "red state" I think of China or North Korea, not Texas or Utah. It's such a pet peeve that the U.S. got red state and blue state backwards!

thickalicious

A term used by:
-Girls who can't accept the fact that they're overweight.
-Guys who don't want to admit that they're attracted to fat girls.
-And anyone who's in denial about the fact that America has the highest obesity rate in the world, so we invent asinine terms like this so that fat people think it's ok to be fat, and pretend to be happy about being fat.

That girl calls herself "thickalicious" but her BMI (body mass index) tells us that she's "clinically obese". She should stop living in denial, go on a diet, and use the money she saves on food to buy some jogging shoes or a stairmaster or something.

voluptuous

Another word for "fat".

She told me that her friend was voluptuous, and she could fix me up with her. I said no thanks.

Glee

Television series that's a thinly veiled attempt to capitalize on the success of High School Musical and American Idol. Annoying popular.

Girl: OMG!!! Did you see Glee last night?!?
Guy: No, and the next person that asks me will be sorry they did.

sex change

While it may one day be possible in the future, sex change is but a myth in this day and age. Even though it is legally recognized, so-called "sex change surgery" is in reality nothing more than genital mutilation and body modification followed by hormone treatments.

It goes by many fanciful, inventive, politically correct names: sex reassignment surgery, sex reassignment therapy, gender reassignment, genital reconstruction surgery, or sex affirmation surgery.

But the pure and simple fact is that people conceived with XX chromosomes are female, and people conceived with XY chromosomes are male. There is currently no known medical procedure to change this in any way. Changing sex will be possible when and if such technology is developed, but until such time it remains a myth.

Normal Man: Sorry, but you were born a man, and I'm strictly heterosexual, therefore I want nothing to do with you.

Disfigured Man: But I had sex change surgery! I'm legally a woman now!

Normal Man: No, you're just a feminine-looking man with XY chromosomes and mutilated genitals. Not interested.

Taylor Swift

A freakin' hot-ass girl that I'm in love with.

I've heard rumors that she might have a career in music, but I have no idea. I've honestly never heard any songs by her, but I could look at her photoshoots all day long.

I'm thinking of sending a marriage proposal to Taylor Swift.

WBC-itis

A condition that affects some atheists, though certainly not all; primarily the ones who are intolerant of religion. Essentially, they take the activities of the westboro baptist church (or WBC) and try to apply them to all Christians, or even to all religious people. The WBC is an extemist hate group, and it is very important to note that they reject, and are rejected by, all other Christian denominations.

This condition may be unintentional, and therefore born out of ignorance; or it may be intentional, and therefore born out of malice.

Stupid person: I hate Christians! All Christians protest all the time with signs that say "God hates fags", and they always disrupt funerals and tell everyone that they're going to hell!
Smart person: No, moron, that's only the westboro baptist church, and no other Christians. You're clearly suffering from WBC-itis.
Stupid person: What? I don't understand!
Smart person: I know you don't.
