silent generation

The Silent Generation refers to people who were born between 1925 and 1945. There are several theories as to where the label 'Silent Generation' originated. The children who grew up during this time worked very hard and kept quiet. It was commonly understood that children should be seen and not heard.

During this time, the House Committee on Un-American Activities launched an assault on political freedom in America. This, in conjunction with Senator Joseph McCarthy's overzealous attempts to feed anti-communist sentiment in America, made it dangerous for people to speak freely about their opinions and beliefs. They became cautious about where they went and whom they were seen with. Therefore, the people were effectively 'silenced.'

"This group of people, most known for their hard work, just stopped talking one day" ?
"Yes, the silent generation is what most people call them".

Silicone Valley

Nickname for the San Fernando Valley in California, known for having a lot of porn studios.

I moved to the Silicone Valley with my rubber tits to pursue a career as a porn star. After starring in over 200 creampie gangbangs, I upgraded my tits and ass from rubber to Silicone. I get even more, and higher quality, dicks in my pussy.

Silent Hill 2

Not only is it an incredible masterpiece of horror and drama with a beautifully detailed story, chilling atmosphere, and symbolic characters, but it is also an incredibly powerful laxative.

John: Last night I finally played Silent Hill 2!
Adam: Really? How was it?
John: It was amazing! But really scary.
Adam: How scary was it?
John: It was so scary that I shat all over my pants.
