A form of United States currency, specifically a Federal Reserve Note, which is the paper currency presently used by the United States. The ink on the reverse side of Federal Reserve Notes being green is what led to the nick name "greenback". To a lesser extent, Silver Certificates and United States Notes also had green backs, but the seal and serial numbers on the front were printed in blue instead of green ink. They were last issued in 1957 and 1966, respectively. Your parents probably remember them.
'Greenbacks' have been printed since before the turn of the 20th century, when the size of the paper currency was printed on was about 1/3 wider and 1/3 longer than its present size.

Greenfield International School aka GIS pronounced 'jizz' by the students. Absolute pigsty. Crappy little school in the middle of Dubai. All the students are genuinely depressed, a good 50% are definitely sociopaths. The other 50% are either nicotine addicts that hide out in the bathroom, try-hards that tear up over getting a level 6, chamaks who think they're the shit cause they know how to use the word wallah, or all of the above. If you go to Greenfield, I'm sorry I know it's hard. I would say you can get through it if you stay strong, but even that probably won't help much. But we're all in it for the education, right!? (not that the education's any good either).

Get the Greenfield International School mug.This is the worst place to live on the east side of Indianapolis. Considered the worst school system and the most ridiculous discipline system. Full of wannabe white kids who think they black but hate black people. Think they hard and in a gang because they listen to blueface and post videos of them smoking pot. Cops harass you for no reason, get in trouble for the littlest things and only focuses on getting teenagers in trouble. Even the most ghetto place in indiana is so much better than this bumfuck town.

I almost made it back out but this fucking greyface had to stop me and ask what I was doing goose-stepping naked around the cafeteria at four in the morning.

Get the greyface mug.A South Florida city next to Lake Worth and West Palm Beach, the latter of which being the 7th most dangerous city in the United States. Hoes are not allowed in this city - they are escorted to Lake Worth in order to maintain the dull aura that fills Greenacres. People whistle at you when you walk down the street in the middle of the night, and 80% of all existing fast food chains can be found on one block.
