Outer Banks(or OBX) otherwise known as the BEST show ever. It has romance, buried treasure, shipwrecks, history, murder, betrayal, surfing, maps, quirky friend groups, and revenge.

If an event is said to occur in Outer Mongolia, it quite often means it happens somewhere obscure and hard to find.
If a person is "sent to Outer Mongolia", it means they are effectively relieved of all real power and influence and given a symbolically important but practically meaningless post.
The term refers to the state of Mongolia (in east Asia), a sparsely populated and geopolitically insignificant country inbetween China and Russia. It had a revolution in the early 1920s and effectively became a Soviet satellite state, while never actually being incorporated into the USSR (a model of the later policy in eastern Europe). Although officially designated "Mongolia", it is sometimes called Outer Mongolia because a region known as Inner Mongolia is part of the state of China.
The term gained its present uses because the Soviet foreign minister Molotov, after being relieved of his duties, was appointed as ambassador to Mongolia. This was a pointless role because, being a puppet state and politically insignificant, there were no problematic issues for a diplomat in Mongolia to take care of. In effect, Molotov was sacked but without losing his status or perks; he was simply taken away from the centre of power. This happened in the early years of the Khrushchev regime, soon after the death of Stalin, because Molotov and several others had lost out in bids to become General Secretary (i.e. top dog). Rather than have his rivals shot once they were defeated, Khrushchev adopted the policy of shunting them off into useless and powerless but well-paid posts (another rival, Malenkov, was made head of a factory in Siberia).
(By the way, yes Molotov did invent the "cocktail" which bears his name - he was responsible for mass-producing them in lemonade factories during World War II).

Clare Short was sent to Outer Mongolia in the Cabinet reshuffle, being sent to the Department for Overseas Aid.
I can't believe they put this lecture in Outer Mongolia (i.e. on the far side of the campus from the usual venue).

Replaces "outer space" because it combines space and time into a single continuum. as done in physics.

Someone who unnecessarily freaks out about anything school related, such as tests, quizzes, or assignments. Symptoms are especially worse in competitive college programs that are difficult to get into, but can also appear in less competitive programs, albeit, not as frequently.
Also appears to spread like wild fire among other freaker outers. As one freaker outer gets freaked out for no real reason, the effect spreads exponentially through the freaker outer crowd until it hits critical mass and the professor has to yell and calm down the freaker outers.

OMG, I can't submit the quiz on blackboard and nobody else can either. What am I going to do?!!?? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO???!? OMG, OMG, OMG!!
Wait, the correct answer isn't on here. OMG, OMG, OMG. There is no correct answer!! I can't get 1 question wrong. Why isn't there a correct answer??!??
People who freak out about classes at college orientation, at least 2-3 months before classes actually start.
Wait, there is no copy of that useless handout for me? WTF!! I'm going to the dean!! I need a copy of that handout or I'm going to fail out of school!!! You, over there, give me your copy!! (fight ensues)
Antonyms: unfreaker outer (not to be confused with slacker, but rather one that realizes that its okay if things don't always go perfectly)
Synonyms: spaz
