  1. Urban Dictionary defines Mook as

    A term coined by Douglas Rushkoff in an episode of PBS’s “Frontline” entitled “The Merchants of Cool.” Mooks are archetypal young males(teens-early 20s) who act like moronic boneheads. They are self centered simpletons who live a drunken frat-boy lifestyle(or are frat-boys). Examples can be found anytime someone watches “Jackass.” Rushkoff claimed that the media glorifies this ideal and stifles natural self expression, however, some people might argue teenage boys have always acted like morons(its actually a long-standing stereotype). Nonetheless, standardized conformist dumbass-culture behind a veneer of exhuberance is a scary notion indeed.

    Opposite of Mooks are Midriffs; oxymoronic innocent skanks who are modeled after Britney Spears.
    Although everyone likes to blame Jackass, anyone on that show is a model Mook.

    (noun) 1: A male adolescent or young adult exhibiting an unpleasant, self-centered attitude, formed during a sheltered upbringing. 2: One who revels in their own ignorance.

    dummy, idiot, retard, loser, unlikeable person, poseur, etc.
    Basically someone that you think is stupid.

    This is how it is interpreted in So.Cal. for the most part.

    Usually used to refer to generic goons in TV and role-playing games. Mooks are usually faceless henchmen who show up only to be easily dispatched by the main characters.

    One could go on and on and on…

  2. “Amazing. They actually found a 30-something Democrat who’s not busy making a career out of whining about the price of birth control.”

    Not big agenda item for gay guys.
