greenwash

Political term, meaning a whitewash except over something ecological. A greenwash is when an environmentally destructive corporation or institution gives itself a makeover to make itself look ecologically friendly, without really changing anything. For instance, it embraces green-sounding rhetoric and imagery, produces glossy PR about its supposed environmental initiatives and makes a show of "listening" to opponents, but it doesn't actually abandon the practices which led to its being condemned as being anti-ecological in the first place.

BP's rebranding, including a new logo with a yellow sun on a green background and slogans about looking after the planet, is a classic example of greenwash.

Intentionally misrepresenting someone's views. Just like fake journalist Glenn Greenwald does.

Greendale

A boring small town in Wisconsin. If you find yourself in Greendale and you're not looking to buy a $8 burger or other over priced novelties from "the village" then you probably got lost on your way to Milwaukee. 90% of the people living there are either rich plastic families or retired old couples. If you're not one of the 2 you'll probably have a run in with one of the many cops with nothing better to do.

Person 1: Where are we and why is everyone driving an SUV and smiling

Person 2: I don't know, we gotta get out of here, why do all these streets start with the same letter???????

Person 3: Turn around now, we're in Greendale
