The act of a self-deluded sucker. Self-destructive self-sacrifice in favor of those seeking to exploit or destroy the practioner. Self-debasement to those seeking exploitive profit and lack of due recriprocation. Often stupidly misconstrued by those practicing as honorable or altuistic.
Many travesties of justice, self-destruction, and the concealment and promotion of evil have come from the chivalry of fools.

Get the chivalrymug. A usually fully functional almost-Apple Macintosh computer rebuilt from various dead-Mac pull-out and commodity PC parts to avoid Apple's high prices for similar Apple-sourced but functionally identical parts. A cousin somewhat to the Hackintosh.
Jim got a bunch of Apple and non-Apple parts from some dead Macs, PCs, and his own workbench and cobbled together a little FrankenMac. Not quite as pretty but it works fine.

Get the FrankenMacmug. The Mac OS pointer icon of a colorful spinning wheel indicating the program currently under the mouse pointer is no longer responding. Called the beachball of death if the program never recovers or causes the operating system to become so busy (usually due to insufficient memory) that nothing else responds.

Get the Beachball of Deathmug. A prudent, sensible, and wise life-enabling decision to remain single, remain a first class citizen, enjoy relatively high degrees of personal freedom, prosperity, and self-determination, and avoid a very expensive, dangerous, hostile, abusive, deeply exploitive, oppressive, and life-crushing enslaving marriage and the unjustly deeply anti-male legal system in the likely, arbitrary, possibly unpredictable, and life-crippling divorce.
Bachelorism means retaining your full civil rights and first class citizenship, personal dignity and self-respect. Bachelorism means never being in fear or experiencing the actual or the constant threat of emotional and physical abuse and arbitary and unjust arrest, homelessness, imprisonment, ruin, and indentured servitude at your wife's sole discretion (regardless of your kind character or behavior) without legal protection, recourse, or respect; it also means complete self-determination, freedom to enjoy your life as you wish on your own terms, and generally greater opportunity and personal prosperity in life. Bachelorism is the clear freedom from the exploitation and sacrificing of a used, disposable man's life for the unilateral entertainment and profit an ever-expectant, hateful, greedy, self-indulgent, entitlement- and luxury-obsessed and sneeringly and derisively nonrecripricatory, ulterior, incipidly disrespecting vicious wife. To men, marrying women in the current social, cultural, and legal environment is unhealthy, oppressive, and physically, psychologically, and legally dangerous. Bachelorism is relatively freedom-ensuring, sane, safe, and financially, legally, and personally healthy. Bachelorism is to respect yourself and retain your human rights.

Get the bachelorismmug. Fucked Borrower. Very widely used in real estate blogs and informal circles. Refers to a formerly credit-rich but resource-strapped consumer who's collateral, savings, and foreseeable future income are below the value and terms of a loan they cannot sustain, refinance, or renegotiate. FB's face a bleak future of certain losses, and nearly certain bankruptcy, credit destruction, and long term cascading/follow-on financial and opportunity losses.
All those FBs and their greedy idiot lenders who bought houses with 100% down NINJA adjustable-rate mortgages in the so-called housing boom are dropping like flies!

Get the FBmug. A recent type of mortgages given to those with no apparent means and little to no chance of rendering repayment. NINJA is an acronym referring to the borrower as having No Income No Job or Assets.
The housing bubble was greatly helped by financially suicidal bankers issuing NINJA loans like candy to anyone who could fog a mirror!

Get the NINJAmug. A political buzzphrase used as a rhetorical talking-point in a power-grabbing or liberty-destroying attempt to diminish or subvert the civil libertarian, responsible, and democratic character of a community, group, or society.
The honoring of civil liberty, presumption of innocence and good faith, privacy, and freedom of speech and expression cannot be tolerated because we live in a post 9/11 world.
