Second Great Contraction

The worldwide financial crisis of the late 2000s that started with widespread the American subprime mortgage defaults and led to the collapse of many overleveraged Wall Street firms such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. The resultant recession has been deep and both monetary and fiscal policy have taken unprecedented steps in order to curtail its negative impact in efforts to prevent the credit markets from freezing and to stimulate spending.

Everyone keeps comparing the Second Great Contraction to the Great Depression, but only time will tell how similar they truly are.

world's greatest band

Bar none, the world's greatest band has got to be Rammstein.

With Awesome lyrics, rock hard guitar riffs, and a tendancy to set things on fire, they undoubtedly surpass all in the area of awesomeness. Anyone with a differing opionion can go cut themselves because they have obviously not indulged in the miracle of Rammstein.

BAND MEMBERS
Till Lindemann-Lead Vocals
Oliver Reidel-Bass
Richard Kruspe-Guitar and backup vocals
Paul Landers-guitar and backup vocals
Christoph Schneider-Drums
Christian Lorenz-Keyboard/guy who always gets set on fire

Putting these six in a room creates a paradox of greatness that no one can escape.

Tony:HOLY SHIT THE WORLD'S GREATEST BAND IS COMING TO INDIANAPOLIS!!!

Alex:Who? Smashmouth?

Chris: NO, You greasy bafoon, RAMMSTEIN *Slaps the shit out of alex*

Tony:GOD DAMN RIGHT!

Penn State Greater Allegheny

A small satellite campus of Penn State located in Mckeesport, Pennsylvania. The smallest, most boring, middle of bum-fuck nowhere (right outside of pittsburgh, but still...) town ever. They have a dairy queen, wendys, and taco bell. Hope you like taking shits after every meal? i would invest in sani wipes, because these mckeefucks were never taught hygiene either. Interested in sports? Too bad, get ready for marching band competitions every weekend.

Now back to Penn State. This probably would not be the best choice for someone who's racist, because YOU WILL GET KILLED. the ratio of white to black is about 1 to 10. Oh and everyone is on financial aid. Welcome to the Penn State endorsed Community College.

Penn State Greater Allegheny Student: I skipped all my classes today and don't plan on studying for my exams. Gotta love dem taxpayers!

PSUGA Applicant: I got into Greater Allegheny and I didn't even graduate! SICK LIFE. Should I get a tutor with my Math 003 Course? Subtraction sounds pretty fucking intense.

The great divider

A term used to describe President Obama. Before coming to office he said he was going to unite the nation, yet all he has done since is divide us all in to two camps (i.e. those who are with him and who he calls "smart" Vs those that have a different point of view that he treats like the enemy).

One does not have to look far .. just watch his every action as they speak to the above definition 100%. He is the Great Divider.

Great American Coup D'État

An internal coup d'état that occurred in the United States of America on 6 January, 2001 that invalidated an accurate recount of the Florida votes in order to install the despotic dictator George W. Bush as president.

I'll always remember where I was for the Great American Coup d'État - I was sitting horrified in front of my TV screen.

thats great

Well "Thats great" is used in many terms. The term i believe used by caucasians while not giving a dam about what the other person is saying, because they just wana sound like they give a dam they would answer " wow, thats great" while really not paying attention to what you have said.

Clever: Well Josue, i found out that the reason why the Printer was taking to long to print is because the resolution was 400%. The printer had to be @ 75%

Josue: Thats great
