Doron

Submitted by PaintMare007 on August 9, 2008 - 7:26pm.
How is it used?:
Pronounced "Door-on" As an insult, usually in a mildly offensive way, unless shouted. Then it could be taken as badly as calling a guy a lady. Usually, it is said as "You doron!" or "You're such a doron." Best shouted at random passersby who don't know what it means, or at a ridiculously stupid lab partner in science class who would blow the building up if left unattended. It is also used as an insult to shout at the characters on TV while playing Brawl if your character is being especially stupid and getting killed too easily.
What does it mean?:
A mixture of the words "dork" and "moron" created by GermanShepherd20 from Dancing Dog Productions.
Trivia/fun facts:
The word "doron" came into existence because GermanShepherd20 accidentally said two words, dork and moron, at the same time, as she was yelling at a slow driver. It has been used as an insult ever since.

pussy-whipped

Submitted by VinceBrewster on October 24, 2007 - 7:41pm.
How is it used?:
Gary married Nancy and the next thing you knew he was the most pussy-whipped guy you ever saw.
What does it mean?:
Usually heard and seen as "pussy whipped" or "pussy-whipped," "pussy wipped" may be either a new variation or a misunderstanding. Used as an adjective to refer to a male who is under the thumb of a female. Concluding that the female grants the male sexual favors can be a misstep; however, that is commonly assumed. "Whipped" by itself is used to mean "extremely obedient to one's significant other," according to The Online Slang Dictionary (http://tinyurl.com/ysw8w4). That's likely to be a recently coined egalitarian usage.
How did it come to be used this way?:
The Online Etymology Dictionary (http://tinyurl.com/37s23u) says "pussy-whipped" was "first attested 1956," but that seems to be far too recent. Check with some older gentleman (say in his 80s or 90s) and he may tell you he heard the term used when he was a teenager, perhaps in the 1920s or 1930s. The term is so obvious, it could well have been around for decades by then.
