The current politically correct term for mentally handicapped people. However, by the time this definition is finished being typed, "differently abled" will likely be a "slur" and the new PC term will be something even more vague.
"People with Down Syndrome are not 'disabled,' they're differently abled! And this has nothing to do with political correctness; simply understanding and clarity."
"I beg your pardon, but I don't appreciate you calling people like my son 'differently abled.' They are no more 'different' than any usual person. This is an offensive slur and needs to stop. Spread the word to end the D-word!"

The divine pantheon of all things Hippie.
Consists of:
- John Lennon: the God of Social Commentary and Hard Drugs
- Paul McCartney: God of Vegetarianism and Strawberries
- George Harrison: the God of Meditation and Sunshine
- Ringo Starr: the God of Peace, Love and Sentient Locomotives
According to the Ancient Hippie Mythology, John Lennon hatched from an egg laid by the Walrus, and guitared the rest of the universe into existence. In an eternal strawberry field, he watered a stereo-box for number-nine days and number-nine nights, until the stereo box hatched, and out climbed Paul McCartney. George Harrison was likewise formed from a drop of sun. But the Band longed for a bloody good drummer. Then, an octopus laid an egg that was hatched under a steam engine, and Ringo Starr was born.
Devout followers of Beatlemania will be rewarded in the afterlife, ferried by Mr. Conductor to the Yellow Submarine, which will take them to their eternal home of Pepperland. Sinners, however, will be rounded up by th *other* Mr. Conductor (Alec Baldwin) and shipped off to the sh*tty TV cartoon's universe to spend eternity in agony.

Someone who regards the human race as a line of Barbie and Ken dolls. Any man or woman who doesn't fit the model of a Barbie or a Ken is deemed defective. (Unfeminine women are accused of "trying to be men," un-masculine men are deemed "pussies" or "fags," etc.) The anti feminist blames feminism for the fact that the sexes don't look like the cast of "Leave it to Beaver" or "Happy Days," assuming that tomboys, career women, homosexuals, and nerds never existed before the women's lib movement of the 1960s came along and "destroyed femininity/masculinity."
"Don't tell Ms. Wilson that you're going back to work after your kid's born. She's an anti feminist."

A subgenre of science fiction that nerds can never agree on the exact meaning of. A good guide line though is the two words in that portmanteau: "cyber" and "punk." Does the movie/book/show/comic/whatever in question have a heavy emphasis on technology? (As opposed to aliens, space exploration, time travel, etc.) Then it's got the "cyber." Does it have a punk-like feel to it? (Dark, neon-filled setting, black leather and sunglasses, techno-punk soundtrack, devil-may-care attitudes, etc.) Then it's got the "punk."
Depending on which nerd you ask, examples of cyberpunk include: "The Matrix," "Blade Runner," "The Terminator," "Total Recall," "Snow Crash," "Neuromancer," "Burning Chrome," "Hammerjack," "Altered Carbon," "Shadowrun," "Repo: The Genetic Opera," "Inception," "Ultraviolet," "Aeon Flux," "Tron," and probably tons of other classic examples this writer is forgetting.
Cliches to look for, that may indicate a cyberpunk story:
- Hackers
- Virtual reality
- A dark (in any sense of the word) future
- Sunglasses
- Leather
- Pimpin' suits
- Razor Girls
- Techno music
- Neon
- Urban settings
- Evil corporate dudes
- Anything related to Japan
- Spunky teenage couriers on wheels (skateboards, bikes, roller blades, etc.)
- A wise and mysterious black dude
- Sarcasm
- Robots
- Gratuitous action/violence/boobies
- Hearing yourself say "Damn this is so cheesy, but I love it so much!"
- Giant, futuristic blimps

"What the hell do you mean 'The Matrix' isn't cyberpunk? It's got the virtual reality, the hackers, the leather, the shades, the deep philosophy, the dark future, the cynicism, the robots, and the techno soundtrack!"
"It was made in 1999. True cyberpunk must be from the '80s, like 'Blade Runner' and 'Neuromancer.'"
"Dude, that's like saying 'Harry Potter' can't be fantasy, because it wasn't written in the same decade as 'Lord of the Rings.'"
"...it's *post*-cyberpunk, is what it is."
"Dude....waaat?"

1.) A person from a rural subculture with a jolly personality, who, despite a penchant for alcohol and bad facial hair, can be lots of fun to hang with.
2.) A racist, sexist, homophobic, or otherwise bigoted person, who thinks non-Christians are going to hell, George Bush was a great president, and trailer-park mustaches are sexy.
3.) What average, middle-class white Christians call themselves when they want to pretend they're members of a struggling minority culture.
