specific object; explicit and sole goal. Used to describe the reason one committed a particular act, especially if the motivation is somewhat unusual.
"Disaster capitalism" sometimes takes advantage of natural disasters, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. But in 1973, Pinochet and the US Central Intelligence Agency carried out a coup d'etat with the express purpose of imposing neoliberal policies against the democratic will of the Chilean people.

Get the Empire Records mug.Awesome fecking band from oz... mixture of everything, ska, swing, funk, soul... Nothing to do with EMO and even the thought of an emo kid enjoying music on such a level other than that of "look at me, dont i look good when i put on this 'i think i should cut myself face'" makes me want to burn all emo loving ppls on one big pyre...

Two Shoes:
And my ears are wearing head phones
that do play my favourite songs
not music i’m told to like
but the songs that make me dance along
The Chariot:
Our weapons were our instruments
Made from timber and steel
We never yielded to conformity
But stood like kings
One Four Five:
Listen doctor I have pain
that grows inside myself
shelf me please
I just can’t ease the pain
I need some drugs to help
ah pollution fills my lungs
and convolution fills my mind
ah my legs do ache
I contemplate
that living’s less than fine
my spine does tingle
when I think of being
freed from this curse
but what is worse I feel
life is a bubble
blown until it’s burst
oh doctor I am desperate
to get rid of this feeling
oh doctor I am desperate
for some good soul healing
In a chariot that's riding on a record wheel
Emo: My girlfirends dumped me for the 26th time this week... Shes ripped my heart out and left it in little pieces, which shes thrown to the wind... Arn't i so poetic in a deathly way?

Emo kid: What the f**k is that?
BOB: some advice from the cat empire to get your arse up off the floor and that letter opener out of your hand...
Emo Kid: Who the f**k are they? did you not hear me!?! im gonna take my life! this world is so hard when you look as bad as me... even though there's millions of us, we're all still origional, and ppl just cant deal with that you know? so im just gonna have to end my life in a pool of my own blood!
BOB: Cool, let me help you get that letter opener inside your head...

Get the cat empire mug.Gender expression is exactly what is sounds like it is: the way you express your gender identity. Are you a woman? Wonderful! Does that automatically mean you love dresses and adore cat eyeliner? Nope. There are many ways to express one's gender identity whether heteronormative or gender-non-conforming! Historically, gender expression has been commodified and culturalized, dividing the population into either lipstick-lovin-ladies or motorcycle-muscle-men.
But wait--you pick a gender identity, does that mean your gender expression must conform to that identity at all times??? Hell no! Your gender expression can manifest any way you want it to! It's all up to the individual. Today: femme. Tomorrow: genderfuck.
Remember that gender identity includes, but is not limited to, identities such as 'woman' and 'man,' what would be called cisgender. Genderqueer identities are numerous: there is genderfuck and femme and gender fluid and gender neutral and agender and transgender and many more. For more examples, just go to your facebook page and check out the updates gender identification options (not that this list is entirely inclusive, but it'll provide you with a decent basis!)

Jaquan: Hey, Betty looks like a dude today. WTF?
Bailey: Yo, that's just her gender expression. Maybe she identifies as gender-non-comforming.
Jaquan: Oh, tight. Maybe tomorrow I'll wear a skirt.
Bailey: Hell yeah! Express yoself!

Get the Ebay Express mug.Immediate relief for a painful vagina using Flexall 454 and Advil.
The female, even though experiencing tremendous vaginal pain, positions herself for doggy-style intercourse. The male lubricates his erect penis with Flexall 454 and commences intercourse. Whilst thrusting at over 95 mph, the male inserts two (2) Advil into the female's anus. The Advil and the Flexall 454 numb the female's vagina and permit the male to rapidly thrust for up to 27 consecutive years without further pain to the vagina.

My girl told me last night that she couldn't have sex with me because her vagina was hurting. I turned her around, lubed my dick with Flexall and stuck 2 Advil up her butt and gave her the ol' Ryan Express. For her, it was just a couple of Advil and them aches and pains were long gone.
