This American Life

A radio program played every weekend. Hosted by Ira Glass, this program looks at the amazing life of ordinary people.

"This American Life? Isn't that the show by those hipster know-it-alls who talk about how fascinating ordinary people are?"

american dream

A) to sue someone for something incredibly stupid and live off the money.
B) to otherwise make a lot of money for not a lot of effort, and spend the rest of your life being rich and getting plastic surgery.

Johnny was biking in the park and he ran into a tree. He sued the council and got 10 mil. He's living the American Dream.

African-American

1. A person, born on the continent of Africa, who becomes a naturalized citizen of the United States of America.
2. The most commonly misused word, (albeit one deemed politically correct by people afraid to use the words "black" or "colored") describing the black population of the United States of America.

While Taneisha thought she was African-American, she was born right here in Lower Alabama.

american university

For those in the know, AU is THE University to find a girl in the DC area worth dating. While Georgetown students are busy popping their pink collars, GW students are busy paying for an overpriced education, and Catholic students are busy being Catholic, American University is an absolute goldmine for intelligent girls (or men, if you swing that way). For people that actually want to make a difference and not just ride Daddy's coattails to a soul-sucking Legal/Medical profession, AU is where it's at.

G-town girl in a bar: "I'm drinkish beer wit' a straw. You're cute!"
Me:"I can't wait for the American University girls to show up."

(Honestly, I wish I could claim that I was making this up.)
