An Empire that existed over a hundred years ago. It formed in 1867 at the collapse of the Austrian Empire and collapsed due to ethnic tensions in World War I in 1918. In consisted of the Austrian half of the empire, which was mostly German speaking, and the predominately Hungarian speaking half of the empire. It is often called "The Dual Monarchy" because of it's Austrian royals and Hungarian royals. It was a European powerhouse which was a key player in European politics in the late 19th century. In the early 1900's, the empire annexed Bosnia which had a high population of ethnic Serbs. This led to tensions with Serbia, which led to World War I, during which the empire collapsed due to internal revolutions by the empire's ethnic minorities. Czechoslovakia, Austria, and Hungary were created from the empire's territories, while Poland, Romania, Italy, and Yugoslavia gained lands from the collapse of the empire. The empire was doomed to failure from the moment it was created because of the many ethnic groups in constant struggle for representation. The empire's collapse is often incorrectly attributed to World War I, but it really collapsed due to internal revolts which the empire, already weak from war, could not defeat. The war, if anything, accelerated the demise of the empire, it didn't cause it.
Austria Hungary was a European powerhouse, but due to its ethnically diverse nature, it was doomed from the moment it was born

When someone thinks they're being cool or impressing people, but really they're making themselves sound stupid and making themselves look like a fool.
John made an ass out of himself when he claimed to be a history expert but then got world war I and world war II mixed up.

The man who couldn’t even be president for a day without totally screwing it up. A ticking time bomb.
Joe Biden opened our borders, killed thousands of jobs, and entered back into dysfunctional international organizations, all on his first day in office.

When you shit your pants and finally make it to the bathroom, only to realize the shit never made it to your underwear because your ass cheeks held it in. It’s a great feeling of relief because you don’t have to throw out your underwear or clean off the shit smeared all over your ass.
Me: Fuck I sharted
Me 5 min later: Yes! I love hitting the lottery, now I don’t have to wipe shit off my legs!

A term New Englanders who reside outside of Massachusetts know very well. They are reckless, careless drivers from Massachusetts who think that they own the road. It’s rare to ever see one use their turn signal.
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine have friendly drivers, and our roads would be perfect if not for the massholes and New Yorkers.

The bitch who doesn't work because she sucks every penny you earn out of your wallet for child support. She usually never lets you see the kids, but that's fine, if you take her to court, she'll falsely accuse you of sexual abuse.
This just shows how society is willing to jump to conclusions and ruin someone's life just because of what one person said about them. Your ex wife usually does this.

A New England version of a redneck. Typically from rural southern New England. Though not all are, Swamp Yankees are heavily concentrated in Windham County, CT, and southern Worcester County, MA (the swamp Yankee part of Worcester County is basically a triangle, with one corner at the southern end of Worcester, one in Sturbridge, and one in Milford). They are similar in many ways to rednecks, though are only slightly racist (as compared to very racist rednecks). They can't pronounce the letter R unless it's before a vowel. True Swamp Yankees are a dying breed. They used to be found all over New England but are pretty much only found now in Windham County, CT, and Southern Worcester County, MA.
