A famous American orator, and three-time Democratic nominee for President. He never became President, but he dodged a bullet (literally) when he lost the 1900 election, as McKinley was assassinated one year later while shaking citizen's hands at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo. His 1896 "Cross of Gold" speech is his most famous speech, and probably the most quoted of his orations. Unfortunately, Bryan is remembered not for his political campaigns (he ran an anti-imperialist campaign against McKinley in 1900, and McKinley is now considered one of the most imperialistic presidents in all of American history), nor most of his orations, but the Scopes trial, in which he condemned a teacher who taught evolution in a Tennessee school. Now most commonly cited as an example of ignorant fundamentalist Christians by those who don't understand how the past actually worked. Historians, however, (including a SOCIALIST, Richard Hofstadter) have stated that it is a cruel, misconstrued view of an individual who had simply outlived his time.
Joe: " I just got a silver filling in my tooth. Damn, it hurts, but I do look pretty badass now.
Bob: "Haha, I have a gold filling."
Joe: "You shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold!"
Bob: "Who's that quote from?"
Joe: "William Jennings Bryan."
Bob: "Wow. I have no idea who that is. You're smart."
Joe: "Thanks, William Jennings Bryan, posterboy for obscure historical figures!"

Get the William Jennings Bryan mug.A school in south jersey which dosent have a football team so everyone plays for town. Full of people who either think they can be a famous YouTuber or a famous sports player when they get older. There is kids always saying they are gonna fight people but they ain’t gonna do it. Where the phys ed teachers take us outside even if it’s -8 degrees outside...in our gym uniforms which are T-shirt’s and basketball shorts. It’s probably knows for its mold problem that they obviously didn’t take care of over the summer so the kids had off of school for a week. It’s 5-8th grade and the fifth graders think they are better than everyone. There is a popular group. A group of hoes. The dumbasses. And the outcasts. Those are the groups of people in each grade. You’ve got to be one. Has a fire drill like 200 times a week. Has a R.I.S.E program (respect. Integrity. Self control. Empathy) that nobody ever listens to. And Lead (law enforcement against drugs) that clearly don’t work because by 6th grade they smoke weed. If you don’t vape you aren’t cool. EVERYONE HAS A SHORT ATTENTION SPAN. And nobody goes in the one hallway because someone ‘died’ there. (You never know with Williamstown Middle School)If you are new to this school MAY GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL. ps home to Dominic Tracy and his clickbaited YouTube videos.
Fifth grader: “I’m gonna be a full time famous youtuber before you and I’m gonna drop out of school and be homeschooled”
Sixth Grader: “oh my god I heard Shaniqua and Trinity are dating! That’s gay!”
Seventh Grader: “fuck you mom! i vape and you can’t stop me”
Eighth Grader: “I’m almost out of this fucking scho- oooh is that an ass I see”

“Yeah they are from Williamstown Middle School”

DEFINED: A stictly local slang term used in the Greater Charleston (SC) and Tri-County area (Charleston, Berkely, and Dorchester) in reference to NIKE AIR FORCE ONE's. Not even other South Carolinians use the term "Willie Dees" to discribe their Nike Air Force Ones. I repeat, this is a EXTREMELY LOCAL USE OF TERMINOLOGY!
Most other South Carolinians and non-South Carolinians alike find out and learn about this term while overhearing a conversation about Air Force One's by two or more Tri-County residence or by hanging with a Charlestonian--allowing them to slowly digest this and other slang used in this city. This assimilation, or at bear minimum, understanding of the Charleston Slang and Unique dialect usually takes place on a college campus. Especially historically black colleges and universities in South Carolina.
