Not Proud to be an American

One who has strong opinions, and nothing more. Is very unhappy with the current administration, but probably didn't vote. Takes out his frustrations here at UrbanDictionary. Mostly harmless.
Keep on posting, Not Proud. I need the laugh.

assault weapon

An amorphous term coined by those who support gun control. Applied to semi-automatic weapons that cosmetically resemble fully automatic firearms.
When gun manufacturers began making these so-called assault weapons without the things that made them look menacing, the gun grabbers cried that a "loophole" was found. Well, duh...they would be the last to see that the changes were cosmetic in nature.

extreme

2)One of most overused words in the current english language.
The first definition is self-explanatory. But, I like to have fun with the second one. How about AN EXTREME NAP? Maybe EXTREME DEODERANT? Maybe EXTREME BAGELS at Brueger's. You get the idea. The word is EXTREMELY overused.
