Inner Suburb

Used to define a suburb of a big city that shares borders with it and, thus, acts more like a neighborhood of the city rather than it's own community.

Inner suburbs tend to have more nightlife, independent stores, and overall fun things to do than most normal suburbs, though (obviously) usually still have much less than the actual city. They also tend to have at least one decent mode of transportation into the city itself.

Yonkers, NY, Evanston, IL, Santa Monica, CA, and Cambridge, MA are all good examples of Inner Suburbs

NRA

Once a decent organization promoting 2nd amendment rights and responsible gun ownership, the NRA is now a giant collection of nutcases and idiots who think people calling for laws to regulate guns and keep them out of the wrong hands is code for "repeal the 2nd amendment and take everyone's guns away".

Hey NRA, no one wants to take away your rights. We all believe in the Constitution and want everyone who obeys the laws to own guns if they want to. But when a crazy person can walk into a school and kill 27 innocent people-20 of them Children-then clearly something is very wrong here.

National Organization for Marriage

A bullshit organization who claims to be working to protect the sanctity of marriage but in reality all they do is work to make sure LGBT people are denied all possible rights and continue to be treated as second-class citizens, and go after any and all groups/individuals/companies who voice support for gay rights/marriage to try and convert them to their bullshit beliefs.

The National Organization for Marriage should really rename themselves the National Organization for Fascism, because really that's what they're trying to accomplish.

Channel Drifting

When a TV channel starts airing programs that are different from what the name of the channel suggests or programming the channel has shown in the past. Channels that exhibit channel drifting tend to shift away from past programming, often acting like it never even existed.

Examples include MTV, Cartoon Network, and TLC.

Channel drifting is often very unpopular with a network's longtime viewers. Of all the people who watched Cartoon Network 10-15 years ago, how many of those people do you think still watch it?

Cincinnati Subway

A term used to describe something that goes unfinished and is seen as a failure for whoever was involved.

Named after the abandoned, unused Subway system below the streets of Cincinnati.

I've really fallen behind in Spanish this year. I don't think I can finish but I really don't want it to turn into a Cincinnati subway

Chicago

The largest city in Illinois, and the state's unofficial capital. One of the greatest cities in the country, and probably the world. Sure, maybe we're not as flashy or glamorous as New York or L.A., but Chicago is a beautiful place and if you spent one day in the city you'd see why it's residents love it.

There's always something to do in Chicago, so don't go knocking it until you've seen it for yourself.
