Arrogance, Incompetence & Greed, Inc.
The new name given to failed, mega-conglomerate, American Insurance Group, for taking $170 billion in federal bailout money with the right hand and, with the left, doling out $165 million in bonuses to the same execs who ran the company into the ground in the first place. Now the universally recognized symbol for corporate greed and/or corruption. For the American public, AIG now stands for "arrogance, incompetence and greed," (credit Rep. Paul Hodes, D-N.H.

| 3. | Short | ||
|
The small coffee size at Starbuck's; the only size on the menu there that makes any sense (et al Tall, Grande, Vente). "Short" is the smallest size Starbuck's offers, but you'll only get this if you ask for it by name. If you do order a "small" the barista will likely give you a "Tall" because anyone asking for a "small" will get the "Tall", which is the smallest size for which the prices are actually on the menu. Also only their hot drinks can be served in the "Short" size. Sound confsing? Yeah, I hate Starbuck's too!

| 5. | Grande | ||
|
A spanish word, supposedly meaning "large", bastardized by the Starbucks marketing machine to mean medium; their 16oz coffee. I hate going into a Starbuck's for coffee. The dumbass baristas always treat me like an idiot because I confuse a "Tall, "Grande" and "Vente". Grande is spanish for large, right? "Short" is the only size that makes any sense and "Vente" is an Italian word! WTF is that?! Why can't they just call them small, medium, large and extra large anyway?

| 6. | ambulance drafting | ||
|
Directly following an ambulance to or from an emergency in order to take advantage of the parted traffic in order to get ahead of your fellow commuters. Sometimes called ambulance chasing. Man! Rush hour would've made me late for my job interiew, but fortunately there was a terrible accident. However, thanks to my ambulance drafting skills I was actually early. Too bad family of 5 had to die so I could land a job.
