Assex 776's definitions
A Major League Baseball team that was started by Ewing Kaufmann in 1973 in Kansas City, Missouri, which had been the home of the legendary Negro League champions, the KC Monarchs (1920 - 1962) - Jackie Robinson, Satchel Paige, Buck O'Neil, etc.
At first, the Royals lived up to the level of excellence set by the Monarchs. From 1973-1993, they won ten American League West penants, lost one World Series to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980 and came back five years later to beat the St. Louis Cardinals in the I-70 Series. In 1980, third baseman George Brett had over a .400 batting average.
Other Royals megastars in the first two decades were:
1) Willie Wilson
2) Bret Saberhagen
3) Frank White
4) Al Hrabosky, the Mad Hungarian
5) Jorge Orta
6) Dane Iorg
7) Bo Jackson
After 1993, the Royals went into a slump and became one of the worst teams in MLB. This has been acutely painful to watch, if you were a fan of Royals Baseball in the 1970s and 1980s.

The decline of the once great Kansas City Royals has been like watching a Shakespearean tragedy. It's sad to see a team that was once at the top of the MLB fall to the bottom.
The Kansas City Royals consistently beat the Yankees in the '70s and '80s even with half their budget. This gave hope to kids across the country that baseball was fair and honest. Anyone with talent could rise to the top. Today that hope is lost.

Shorthand for Barack Hussein Obama (b. 1961, Somalia), the leader of one of the most successful religious cults since Jim Jones - the leader of the People's Temple in 1970s San Francisco (later Guyana, South America).
In 2008, Obama is overwhelmingly the mainstream media's choice for U.S. President.
The most successful politician currently in American politics.
When speaking of Obama it is considered racist to mention his Islamic origins or his middle name.

Currently claims membership in the cult-like Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. The mission statement of this church is:
"We are an African people, and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization."

Master Obama said that the Sermon on the Mount was about homosexual marriage. No one in the media seemed to find this comment even the least bit controversial.

Get the Obama mug.Paris Hitler over there, you know the one with the Venti Latte, she lectured me about how uncool my shoes were. Then she started talking about voting for Obama, because he was "cute" and had "nice ears."

Get the brad pitt mug.1) The name of a great independent film from 1991 featuring such novelties as Madonna's pap smear. Shot in Austin, Texas, on a shoestring budget, it may be about the definitive movie on Slackers forever after.
Tends to be sort of affectionate slang in this context.
2) Synonym for a typical member of Generation X (born 1964-1981 roughly). Anyone who smoked reefer, wore flannel or owned the Chronic, Doggystyle or any music by Sublime, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pearl Jam , Nirvana, Rancid , etc., in the first half of the 1990s. Anyone who liked movies directed by Quentin Tarantino.
Tends to be neutral slang, when used in this context.
3) Antonym of a politically aware member of the Baby Boom generation (born 1946-1963 roughly). Someone who thought of the Beatles, Vietnam, Woodstock or JFK being as historically relevant today as the Civil War or the War of 1812.
In this context is usually pejorative and insulting.
4) A description of a young man in the early 20th Century, who avoided military duty. An amoral, lazy coward.

1) The movie Slacker was brilliant. I could not stop seeing people I grew up with portrayed in the characters. It's a great movie to smoke weed and watch, when you're bored and not in the mood to write your Master's Thesis.
2) Wow. Lots of Slackers at Lollapalooza this year again. I wish someone would shoot Ani DeFranco.
3) You fucking Slackers think that Reaganomics was cool. You probably never even heard of Kent State or the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Too bad you weren't old enough to have had to have been drafted and sent to Vietnam.
4) You yellow-bellied slackers will be court-martialed, when General Patton returns from the Battle of the Bulge.

Get the slacker mug.The truth. See also rap sucks
Although punk music fans (not the dirtbags who refer to themselves as punks - actual non human-beings) have been saying that punk is dead since 1978, it actually wasn't proven to be true until 1991 or so - the year "punk" broke in America
Since the early 1990s, punk bands are played on the big rock and top 40 stations in even the most rural areas of the United States. Green Day, for instance, sells as many records as 50 Cent and records on about the same six-million dollar budget in the same lavish studios.
Punk rock is recording a demo on a tape recorder in a trailer and selling copies of the tapes out of the back of your 1973 Ford Galaxy.
Now a fashion trend dominated by white prep school kids and emos.

Get the Punk is Dead mug.A band from the San Francisco (hippy) bay area, who put out million-selling albums recorded in the same lavish studios used by pop singers like Kid Rock rather than the dust bins that bands like Black Flag recorded in.
Punk looking band with a few cool riffs and some OK songs.
Extremely overrated compared to more innovative punk bands of the past (D.I., Dead Kennedys, Circle Jerks, etc.)

Greed Day isn't the only pop punk group these days that totally sucks, but they seem to be more conspicuous about their love of money than the average so-called punk rockers.
