Outside it's America

Reference to the ubiquity of things American in the world of the late twentieth/early twenty-first century CE: in the pre-Chinese era. From the U2 song Bullet the Blue Sky, about US military domination of Central America.

We take the staircase to the first floor
We turn the key and slowly unlock the door
A man breathes into a saxophone
And through the walls we hear the city groan
Outside it's America
Outside it's America

flashback humour

Indirect breach of the fourth wall at the end of the movie "Fight Club". When the plot comes around to the opening scene again after two hours of flashback, the Narrator (Edward Norton) states he "still hasn't anything to say", and Tyler Durden (Brad Pitt) refers to this as "flashback humour".

Any other definitions for flashback humour?

school

Place young people are confined for much of their childhood and adolescence to have any subversive interest in intellectual pursuits or sport ruthlessly beaten out of them. If they pull through with their sanity halfway intact, they are ready for university ... or anything else that could happen.

You're still in school? My sympathies.

Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion

Actually written before the Revolution, by the Okhrana or secret police of the old Tsarist regime, round about the year 1900. Popularised by the later Communist leadership, the Nazis and others. Up there with the environmentalist "Chief Seattle" speech, the volley of excuses for the 2003 war in Iraq, Piltdown Man and the Donation of Constantine as one of the great fakes of history.

If you are suffering from insomnia, might I recommend you read this copy of the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion?
