a spectacular comet that graced our skies in 1996 - 1997. It lead to lots of stupid New Age speculation due to the "prophecy" and angel-encounter end-of-the-millenium bullshit that was going on in near the end of the 20th century. There were cult suicides, and superstitious predictions that did not come true. It was very prominent in the sky in early to mid 1997. Dubbed the "Comet of the Century", Hale-Bopp was a thrill to see and a once in a lifetime event, although you can't tell when the next comet "biggie" may come our way.

Get the Comet Hale-Bopp mug.1. someone who likes to address an audience but wants EVERYONE to cheer and praise him no matter what he says or does. A big time megalomaniac.
2. someone who is away and is negligent about pressing matters, issues and emergencies that demand IMMEDIATE attention right fucking NOW!
3. a person, especially one in an authority position, who is extremely cruel, selfish and vain. A complete pompous ass. The Emperor Nero of the Roman Empire killed his mother, his wife and his cohorts.

1, In 2004 George W. Bush gave a commenment speech at the Ohio State University. Graduates who turned their backs in protest against the Iraq War and other crimes were arrested, along with peaceful demonstrators outside. The audience was "encouraged" to give Bush a "thunderous" standing O. Emperor Nero wanted to be known as a theater actor, singer, lyre player, chariot racer and more and he always bullied the judges and crowds to cheer and favor him. From this we get the Nero Complex.
2. So many disasters occured in the sucky Aughts decade. When Hurricane Katrina hit the stupidity and corruption and incompetence was so unbelievably horrid. Kayne West made his famous statement and many others said that Dubya "fiddled while Rome burned", meaning he did zilch while New Orleans and surrounding areas needed help NOW.
3. History shows that there's been many more people with a Nero Complex. Besides George W. Bush there are Mobutu Sese Seko, Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Chairman Mao, Slobodan Milosevic, Idi Amin, The Grand Turkman, and other arrogant turds.

Get the Nero Complex mug.a word that simply means "eastern". It refers to anything or anyone from the "East". "Oriental" was first applied mainly to Mesopotamia, Persia and maybe India because those lands were east of the Roman Empire. Later on ancient China was found to be more than a myth and so the previous "Orient" became known as the "Near" or "Middle" East and East Asia was now tagged as the "Orient" or the "Far East". Because of the geography the term "Oriental" came to be applied to the cultural aspects, the peoples and other things from the "Far East". Of course, "Western" is used to refer to anything or anyone from Europe, North America and such.
1. "Oriental" is a term generally applied to the "race"/ethnicities that inhabit the region from Myanmar (formerly Burma) all the way to Korea and Japan. It's a term referring to geography ("East") and is not an offensive or slur word. Some politically correct people in America think it is but I've known some Koreans, Japanese, Vietnamese and others from the Orient in college and they do not find the word to be offensive at all.
2. There are groceries and restaurants that specialize in East Asian food. Many of them use the word "Oriental" on their signs, so apparently they don't see that word as a racial slam, do they?
3. Rugs made in Iran or India are still called "Oriental rugs". They are nice, huge, heavy and expensive.
4. There's been an Oriental presence and influence in America for a long time. There are Chinatowns, Japanese-American communities, Vietnamese neighborhoods and Korean neighborhoods on the West Coast states (especially California) and they have been in America for over 160 years. Like all ethnic groups here they have played an important role in making the U.S.A. the great nation that it is today.
5. Also in the Pacific West coast states the Native American peoples have oral traditions detailing of contact with Oriental people long ago. The travellers were probably Chinese, Japanese and others. Relations with those visitors were pretty good.
6. Oriental nations have given the world many contribution in the fields of sciences, arts, military strategy, medicine and more.

Get the Oriental mug.1. someone who roams the city streets who has magical powers to get what he/she wants
2. a song from Van Halen's self-titled debut album that describes such a person. Check out Eddie Van Halen's really boss guitar work on that track.
3. a video game that was released in the early 90s. Similar in setup and play to the 80s game "Dig Dug".

1. I'm bad. I'm the atomic punk.

Nobody! Bleaaaaaauuuggghhhh!
The atomic punk!
3. I went to the Flamingo arcade today and played "Atomic Punk".

Get the atomic punk mug.The word "racino" is one of many "combo" words that enter the English language over time as new developments in society and technology occur. A racino is basically a racetrack where can place bets on the racing event but also has a casino that has slot machines and maybe more games such as BlackJack, poker, craps, keno, Wheel of Fortune (that's where a giant wheel is spun by a lovely lady and you bet on which section the arrow will point at. You see this game in the Old Wild Western flicks, this game has nothing to do with that Vanna White TV show), roulette (not Russian) and such.
1. I've played in many casinos in Nevada as well as some run by Native Americans like the Chippewa. However the first racino I've ever played in was Wheeling Downs, West Virginia. I've played the slots and bet on greyhound races there. You got the slots and there's dog races held there so Wheeling Downs is a racino.
2. In central Ohio the horse racing arena Scioto Downs has been running for years. Now it recently has had electronic slot machines (and maybe more games) installed so Scioto Downs now promotes itself in the ads as a racino.
3. Wheeling is in the tip or "panhandle" of West Virginia. If you're heading to Wheeling Downs (or just passing thru the WV tip) from Ohio or Pennsylvania be eXtra careful. There's a speed trap there and vehicles get pulled over and they line up both sides of the highway. Speeding ticket fines are steep. You've been warned.

Get the racino mug.1. a euphenism for someone to realize that something didn't happen, it ain't happening now and it never will.
2. a hit song from the summer of 1989 by Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin and her pupil Whitney Houston.

1. Sarah Palin's 17 year old daughter recently said she "knows" the father of her child "loves" her and will "come back" to them some day. Anybody else surely knows about this "love" - it isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be.
2. Johnny lived with a girl in BFE. He slacked off and she worked all day to make some money for him. One afternoon he packed up and left her high and dry. Every evening she sits on the porch waiting for moocher Johnny to come back. It isn't, it wasn't, it ain't never gonna be. He never gave a damn all this time.

Get the It Isn't, It Wasn't, It Ain't Never Gonna Be mug.White rapper whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, but it should be 'Rip Off Van Winkle' because his only hit was 'Ice Ice Baby' which totally RIPPED OFF the bassline and a piano riff direct from the 1981 hit 'Under Pressure' by Queen and David Bowie. His rip-off song went to #1 in the United States during the autumn of 1990 but practically anybody who knew Bowie or Queen knew this was outright musical plagiarism of the highest degree. Queen and Bowie sued his ass in the biggest musical royalty copywrite dispute in UK history. Vanilla Ice got stung big time. His cred suffered even more when he claimed to have come from the Miami hip-hop scene and it was revealed that he grew up in a suburb of Dallas. His next single was 'Play that Funky Music' (a cover) which went nowhere. He tried to salvage his reputation by a cameo appearance in the film 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2' with a band, doing the 'Ninja Rap' but that didn't stop the snowballing backlash. He soon released a 'live' home video and album in the spring of 1991. That fall he 'starred' in a new movie that tanked, critics said it was shit. It was available on home video just in time for Christmas 2 months later. Since then he largely fell out of the public eye and his Famous Fifteen Minutes ended so fast.
Vanilla Ice was lauded in 1990 as a 'modern James Dean'. Today his fame is a footnote , he's a shooting star, a fraud. The hip-hop community largely disowns him. He basically is a Pat Boone of rap, IOW a milquetoast poser for the suburban whites who think they have a clue about street culture and hip-hop BUT THEY DON'T. Vanilla Ice is a joke.
