canine-american

Humane Society Leaders: You can't refer to this animal as a dog. This is a CANINE-AMERICAN. We're taking you to court. Where's Jesse Jackson when we need him.

ugly american

The tendency of American tourists visiting foreign countries to completely insult the culture of those countries, almost always accidentally. Many behaviors practiced by "ugly americans" are simply innocent mistakes involving actions that are perfectly acceptable in America, but are shunned in foreign countries. Some universal symptoms of an ugly american is excessive amounts of luggage, overly casual clothes, etc. However, others vary from country to country. For example, in France, you will get your ass kicked if you refer to fries as "freedom fries". They're french fries over there, and they're eaten with a fork. To them, this signifies an overly patriotic American with no respect for other cultures. A far easier mistake to make is, in Australia, the peace/victory sign made by sticking out two middle fingers is the equivalent to saying "up yours" if the palm is facing the person it's directed at.
I could go on and on and on about the different symptoms of Ugly American. My advice to all Americans: Thoroughly research a country before visiting it.

American Eagle

A store where basically everything goes on clearance after a month, making the $40 price tag on a skirt much more affordable. Generally confused with being preppy, American Eagle sells beachy clothing. Before you say AE is preppy, compare it to Brooks Brothers or Lilly Pulitzer. See my point?

A good place to get stuff to layer. Just don't make my mistake and go into AE looking for bright preppy colors. AE's colors are basically limited to: Navy, Brown, Forest Green, Puse, and Burgundy. I liked their kahki and white shorts, it's hard to find simple items like plain shorts anymore.
Grace: Like omg I'm wearing American Eagle! I am such a prep!

Muffy: Like heck you are, have you ever even been in a REAL prep store before? Not that crappy AE and Abercrombie junk that fits to tight. *smoothes our pink flower print skirt*

american bulldog

A strong robust dog much taller then the english or french bulldog. Breed in america by Dr. Johnson and Dr. Scott. These two mean had different views of the perfect american bulldog so the created two kinds. The Johnson which has a huge chest and is usaully a bit heavier, and the scott bulldog which is has more lean muscle rather then big bulky muscle. Both American bulldogs are great working dogs and are used to hunt wild hogs.
