vuvuzela

A mind-numbing torture device made of cheap, brightly colored plastic. It resembles a horn but its pitch cannot be changed. It is being used during the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

I thought I heard an angry swarm of bumblebees, but it was the sound of vuvuzelas playing at the World Cup.

simplest and clearest way to demonstrate that although you scored a ticket to a world cup match, you do not appreciate or understand football to the slightest degree, and are probably in fact not watching the action.

critical goal scored in injury time = 140 decibels of vuvuzela
player being treated on the field = 140 dB vuvuzela
long stretch of tedious and inconclusive play = 140 dB vuvuzela
halftime = 140 dB vuvuzela
national anthems = 140 dB vuvuzela

Vuvuzela

An annoying, long plastic horn blown by African fans (especially South Africans) during football (soccer) matches. Unlike cheering or clapping, vuvuzelas are blown in a non-stop, monotone manner throughout an entire match.

They made the 2010 FIFA World Cup sound like a giant hive of angry bees.

An argument made by many people against socialism that use Venezuela as an example of a failure of socialism

Socialist: *makes valid argument for socialism
Person 2: Well actually if you look at Venezuala it shows that socialism fails
Socialist: No not vuvuzela, it's not socialist

Vuvuzela

A term used by socialists to mock neoliberals for their fundamental misunderstanding about socialism and why Venezuela fell into crisis.

There were many factors that contributed to Venezuela's crisis, but the most obvious was the country's heavy reliance on oil for its economy, which lead to it collapsing when the price fell. Additionally, most of the country has been in private hands, such as 70% of the economy, 50% of the healthcare, and 80% of the workforce. If we went off these metrics, Norway, Denmark, etc. would be socialist, but rather, they're considered social democracies, which is a more friendlier version of capitalism to the people in said country (but not considered socialist).

Neoliberal: Venezuela was socialist and collapsed because of it, therefore socialism doesn't work.
Socialist: Vuvuzela no iPhone 100 billion dead
