Two authors (William Strauss and Neil Howe) who write books about the generations: Lost, G.I., Silent, Boomer, Thirteenth, Millennial and Homelander. They say that today's youth, the Millennial Generation, are a generation of authoritarian, bland, all-American, clean-cut, preppy little fascists who are destined to march behind Bushitler. They claim we oppose gay rights, youth rights, drug legalization, flag-burning, the anti-corporate and anti-globalization movements and premarital sex, and support the draft. They claim we will be just like the whitewashed boy scouts of World War II, the Greatest Generation, and believe that corporations can do no wrong and whatever the government does is right. Somehow, they draw the conclusion that Millennials trust their government even after SOPA/PIPA, the execution of Troy Davis, the White House Trespass Act, gulag schools and voter disenfranchisement of under18s, public schools that have become prisons, and cops who harass teens (or even over21s who look like teens), shoot people's dogs, arrest people for protesting, and get their "right" to cheat people protected by the Supreme Court. Another thing they got wrong about us is when they said we would be willing to trade liberty for security after 9/11. In reality, we were one of the few generations that DIDN'T get behind Bush or put security ahead of liberty after that tragic September day.
Greg: What's that you're reading?
Natalie: It's "The Fourth Turning", a book by Strauss and Howe.
Greg: What's about about?
Natalie (taking sip of her coffee): Oh, it's about how kids our age are supposed to follow social norms and march dutifully under our elder authority figures instead of rebelling.
Greg: In a world where the principal can have someone arrested for burping in class, a world where the cops arrest kids who go out when their parents ground them for dating someone of a different race, a world where gays can't marry in more than forty states and most countries of the world, a world where corporations have people arrested for starting websites they don't like, a world there the president and Establishment want to drill for petroleum re$erve$, a world where Occupy protestors get shot by filth, how could we NOT rebel?
Natalie: Yeah, tjose were my thoughts.

A moment experienced by an individual, when another individual states or does something to their liking, prompting him/her to experience a brief flash in their mind where they see themselves in different points of a hypothetical future with this individual eg. wedding, dancing, having sex, walking the dog, having an inside joke. This flash lasts for about five seconds, and then it is over.
Chanel: "While Burger was playing his guitar the other day, he looked up and smiled, and for a few seconds there I imagined our future together"
Marleen: "Sounds like another Strauss Moment"
Chanel: "I seem to have a lot of them these days, with like, everyone!"

to have sexual intercourse with the mother and the daughter, in a hardcore fashion way, but not necessarily at the same time. This word is the verbalization of the famous Portuguese expression "maravilha, maravilha, é tirar da mãe e meter na filha" which can be translated as "good, good, is to take it from the mother and to put it on the daughter."
I can´t wait to strauss-kahn your mom and sis!
Charlie Sheen is still strauss-kahning your mother and sister?
Nobody strauss-kahnt your mother and sister because they look like construction workers. (past)

1. To be the victim of Straussing.
Where by you have been defeated in an online argument through the use of logic greater than yours or by the other person simply deleting you comments.
2. To lose an argument.

He was really happy with the firm Levis Strauss handshake he got from his girlfriend that morning.
It's at least worth a Levis Strauss Handshake

Name given to the swim team of mexicans who think swimming in jeans and over-sized t-shirts is going to give them the competitive advantage they are looking for. In most cases they end up drowning cause they can't swim to begin with.
