Chang Tan's definitions
To have your car's engine run with the exhaust manifold bare, rendering it obnoxiously loud, according to rice boy standards.
Your general stock cars are by itself equipped with these items, that guide, muffle, and clean exhaust gases, as well as reduce performance by increasing backpressure:
Exhaust Manifold - A sturdy structure that covers the exit paths after your exhaust gases has left when the exhaust valve opens. It purpose is to collect exhaust gases so it can be either pumped with air to burn undercombusted hydrocarbons (provides no power, but better smog tests) via air injection, or further send down the tailpipe, where further methods are undertaken to quiet and clean the expanding exhaust gases.
Tailpipe - Narrow metal tube, that not only directs the exhaust gases to the back of the car (or to the sides), but because of its small diameter, slows the flow of gases, quieting the motor significantly (an a explosion for example is basically a loud expansion of gases). Slant eyed rice enthusiasts would take the hint, and install gigantic fart cans to their tailpipes to turn their tranquil hum of their civics into a vomit-inducing whine. Like they even need it anyways.
Muffler - As it's name states, it further "muffles" the sound of the still rapidly traveling exhaust gases by forcing it through a series of small intricate pipes.
Catalytic Converters - Helps burn excess uncombusted hydrocarbons that have unfortunately had not be burned up after introducing air into the exhaust manifolds (temperature still hot enough to ignite raw fuel), via air injectors operated by a air pump. Also, it helps get rid of Oxides of Nitrogen (Unuseable, unlike Nitrous Oxide), and changes carbon monoxide into less lethal, carbon dioxide. Catalytic converters reduce performance and sound just as much as mufflers, though if overworked (if your car has rich-fuel problems), it would glow and strain, melting the honeycomb like structures inside, further clogging the path in which exhaust can escape.
A obstructed path for exhaust gases to escape is very bad for engine performance, if nearly completed plugged, exhaust gases have nowhere to go but back into the combustion chamber, causing the motor to run terribly, or stall.
The idea of running your car, preferably a hot rod open header, is to increase performance, lessen the strain on the engine, make it sound louder and more macho, as well as to impress your friends.
Unless your attending a open header contest with other like gearheads, removing any of the above components is ILLEGAL as stated by the DMV. But at least this definition gives you something about exhaust and performance.

"Bling a Ding Chong" thought that by sawing off his catalytic converter on his slick green rice rocket, he can beat Mary Anne on her pink 72 Chevelle. But instead, he serves jailtime with fellow burly prison rapist Tyrone Smith after flipping off a police officer.

Get the open headermug. A slang in Californian terms for:
1. Wait for your victim to dissapear from the classroom.
2. Empty their bookbag.
3. Turn the bag inside out.
4. Refill and zip the bag, maybe even stuffing trash inside it too.
5. Put it back to its ORIGINAL place in its EXACT position.
6. Blame it on someone sitting far away from you.
7. Watch the fists go flying.

Get the flipmug. Brief history:
-America goes to war under false accusations against Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. During the judgement day of attack, protesters gather on the streets, its like the watergate incident, people got arrested. Did they get out of jail after the war? We don't know.

I said Dubya sucks, then a patriotic police officer punched me, and now i;m behind bars and nobody remembers me to get me out.

Get the antiwar protestormug. The opposing party after the Russian Revolution who battled for control against the Communists, or Bolsheviks. The Mensheviks, or "whites", still believed in a Socialist government, which severely taxes the rich and hardly taxes the poor, so the money can be redistributed among its citizens.
The Bolsheviks, or "Reds", however, believed that any type of Capitalistic activity should be eradicated completely. Thanks to the damned efforts of Lenin, he managed to sway the fickle populace to the Bolshevik side, and with a newly formed (but weak) army, they drove out the "whites" and established their so called "workers paradise" as the new government. Few actually knew what horrors Lenin and Stalin had in store for them. When Lenin died, Stalin and Trotsky (the "sword of the revolution") battled out for control. With the aid of two politicians who opposed Trotsky, Stalin took the reins of Communist Russia, and had the two killed.
Years later when Trotsky plotted to begin his own Communist revolution on the US in Mexico, Stalin had a Latino Soviet named "Mercader" to drive a ice-pick into Leon's skull.
Without the Mensheviks, Russia has been doomed for several decades before the USSR collapsed.

Mensheviks are better than the Bolsheviks. Bolsheviks are liars who steal what you have, and claim it is still "yours".

Get the menshevikmug. Age/Sex/Location, first question you will EVER see when you enter a chatroom. Used by everyone who needs some "cybering"

Get the aslmug. A society that is proposed by Carl Marx, promptly before the authories killed him. Basically the utopia is a perfect place where there is no rich and poor and everything is abundant, it comes from capitalism.
The Russians skipped the capatalism part, formed the Soviet Union, and killed anyone who opposed their "utopia".

Get the utopiamug. Baby gorillas, whom, because of their small and morbidly obese build, became perfect subjects for a top secret experiment dubbed, "teletubbies".
Kidnapped from their native habitat, they were strapped down hooting and screaming onto operation tables. Their stomachs were removed and replaced with a crude malfunctioning television set, which recieved its signals from a implanted attenna on the top of its head. Because the attenna's reciever must be outside of the body, a hole is drilled through the baby gorilla's brain, making a pathway to stick the electrical equipment through. Unfortunately, this only resulted in having the entire cast of teletubbies having the combined intelligence of tupperware.
To feed the disillusioned apes, a special diet consisting of purified ethanol (tubby toast), and lead paint oatmeal (tubby custard) to keep the seditious thoughts of the infants surpressed. A fake sun watches over them with a ensuringly peaceful baby's face on it to keep the tubbies close to their safety dome. When a tubby escapes, the sun makes a blood-curdling cry, calling upon the dome janitor, a robot vacuum cleaner named "snoo snoo" to hunt down and kill the escapee by devouring it with it's mighty vacuum, grinding the hapless tubby and using it's remains as fertilizer for the vast lush gardens surrounding the dome.
Occasionally when the time is just right, the tubbies may be able to recieve radio waves with their broken attennas, allowing them to eavesdrop on their human overseers, yet baffled by the simplest tasks we can do, such as showering or cooking an egg.
