Similar to the race card, this has been a phenomena in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens used by non-U.S. athletes or by fans of non-U.S. teams as to why an American wins a gold medal or why an American finishes above another country's athlete. The claim is that the IOC is in collusion with the U.S. teams and predetermines results when the truth is that after the 2002 scandals in Salt Lake, the IOC is very anti-American at this point. It serves a double purpose:
1) To justify a loss from an athlete.
2) To voice anti-American sentiment had by athletes, staff, and fans since before the games began.

Prime example: Svetlana Khorkina says the reason she didn't win the All-Around was because she wasn't American.
Another example: S. Koreans are attacking Americans for the scoring error more than the judges that committed the error. Where were they when judges from France and Russia were in collusion to guarantee their skaters gold medals?

A genre of television show that picked up steam within the last decade. In this genre, the leaders and/or principal parts that require someone to be strong-willed and concientious are played by women. All men in the show are flawed either morally, physically, or mentally and are always a step below and behind their female counterparts.

The Ultimate dinner faux pas. It involves eating sushi (or something else you don't like) and then puking the contents onto the person next to you. Its origins come from when George Bush Sr. visited Japan, ate sushi, and ended up puking all over the prime minister. In Japan, it is known as Bushu-suru.

Slang for any printed journalistic medium (newspaper, magazine, etc.) with such low credibility and standards in acceptable journalism, that its only useful function is to wrap fresh fish in.
"The Sun" is a sensationalist fishwrap read by 10 million people daily in the UK.
If you are not a Sony Playstation fan, Electronic Gaming Monthly is a fishwrap.
