manifest destiny

A half-baked thoery that the USA could do as the fuck it liked. In practise, it got land and the begginings of an empire by paying for it before it started a revolution against the European powers that owned it. When the USA did try and annex Canada, a small number of the British army and a few thousand Canadians beat off the United States, leaving ti with the option of the treaty of Ghent, which didn't give them any land concessions (as opposed to the British-Canadian forces, which never intended to make any, so handed back all taken land without grudge) nor did it make either side any richer. As a courtesy, the Royal navy ended impressing.


When the united states wanted to start an empire, it went after a weakened spanish empire, which was on the brink of freeing itself. When the USA again attempted imperialism in south america, it was having a little trouble with fallen power Spain, so decided to pay $20,000,000 to buy a few POS nations that would have revolted in a few years anyway. Wow, isn't that clever? Obviously, these places have since gained independance. Quite possibly the worst empire ever...

Manifest destiny was retarded. Why didn't the US try conquering outer space instead?

eating contest

An event held predominantly in the united states, yet the 300lbs americans all get beaten by a 130lb Japanese person.

I watched something called the 'glutton bowl' on TV soem years back and laughed as the announcers kept claiming they the competitiors were not guys they picked up off the street, but actually professional eaters.

c'est la vie

(Idiom) Literally translated, means "It is the life". Better translations lead to "That's life" or "it's life". Basically shut up and get over it, used as a puit down. The best retort to this is "C'est la guerre", which means "This is war".

*A and B find A's car being keyed by a person known to be a local trouble maker*

A: Damn that bastard! I'll kill him.

B: So what about your car, c'est la vie. He's just a kid anyway...

A: NON! *eyes go red* C'est la guerre!


B: *shits pants*

Kate Bush

Strange hippy lady who sings weird songs that make little, if any, sense.

All yours, Babushka, Babushka, Babushka-ya-ya

All yours, Babushka, Babushka, Babushka-ya-ya

happy hour

Where the worst selling and nastiest tasting alcoholic beverages are sold for half price to a bunch of alcoholics too drunk to notice.

Kids like happy hour, because afterwards they get to roll the drunk.
