greedwashing

An attempt disguise corporate greed by promoting a company's charitable contributions, said especially of large financial corporations; a public relations strategy aimed at defusing public anger over wanton corporate greed by putting a superficial positive or redeeming social face on the corporation through advertisement of the corporation's charitable contributions.

Goldman Sachs, who accepted $12.9 billion in taxpayer bailout funds in 2008-2009, was getting ready to give its employees bonuses estimated to be worth around $595,000 per employee, but first the company's press team considered a greedwashing program to defray public anger at the firm over the massive bonuses: requiring its top employees to donate a small percentage of their pay to charity each year.

Alex Greenwald

I am convinced that the only other definition on this page was written by the devil himself (Alex Greenwald) because there is no way that anyone could think he is that cool. Now, here is the TRUE definition of Mr. Greenwald!

Alex Greenwald (Gaywald for short) is a indie rock faggot that would do literally anything to be in the spotlight including sucking off a giraffe at a PETA rally to butt fucking Sting for his shitty band to get an opening slot on his tour.

Gaywald's hobbies include trying to be popular, copying whatever music is popular at the time, dating actresses who are more famous than him (then dumping them for the next barely-legal pussy that goes by). His theme song is "Little Girls" by Oingo Boingo.

George: "Yo, homie! Have you heard about that fuckass Alex Greenwald?"

Bobby: "No! I've never heard of him before in my life! Who the fuck is he?"

George: "Oh. he's some sleazebag fucko that likes barely legal girls, especially if they're famous"

Bobby: "You're kidding?"

George: "No joke! He just went through another one this year and now he's dating his pet mongoose"

greenwich

Here, in the richest town in the U.S., everyone owns houses bigger than most apartment complexes and drive cars that are more expensive than houses in "the rest" of America. 99% of the town is white, and all the girls wear lacoste and ralph lauren polos and oxfords (collars popped -- that's a given), j. crew classics, "real" juicy couture, and accessorize with prada. Knockoffs? What are those?! After lacrosse or field hockey practice, they all top off their polka-dot hair ribbons with eliza b. or rainbow flip flops. Don't even think about wearing just red or blue, it's all "nantucket red" and "lagoon" or "ocean spray".
Now onto the boys they date:
All wear seersucker or madras shorts/pants, and have long, stylishly unkempt hair. They all sail and play lacrosse, and are exceptional at both, when they aren't stoned or drunk. Their families attend yacht club parties every saturday night, where all the men have names like "tyler" and preppy little nicknames.
For fun in Greenwich, girls shop 'til they drop on "the Ave", where the most popular stores include "Rags" and "Wishlist", where you can pay $70 for a faded shirt that has been "professionally aged" so that the buyer can pretend to be ghetto and poor. And "ghetto" is a word used often in Greenwich. Preppy kids dressed to impress often say things like, "woah, man, your BMW is sooo mad ghetto". For the cash it takes to buy the sportscars that are cruising around Greenwich, you could buy and refurbish a ghetto.
Bottom line: Greenwich is preppy to the max, a prime example of a community so sheltered that most of the people there have an incredibly skewed perspective of wealth.

Greenwich, the home of the plastics.

East Greenwich

Small town where teachers feel they desrve everything- Students cheat in simple vocabulary books aka wordly wise- parents have to take away cell phones,playstations, cars, ipods, credit cards, etc. for the kids to feel punished- Percentage of the population that is sober is at an all time low most of the time- Students use "bathroom breaks" to talk on their cell phones in the bathroom with other people who are cutting classes- EGHS can afford a new snack machine and many drink machines but not new text books- New streets are built and each time the house size increases and the amount of land decreases- Parties are BYOB because we all know that everyone has enough to bring.

East Greenwich is the ugliest rich town ive ever been to.

Greenwich

greenwich, CT is one of the wealthiest towns in the United States, but as a person who lives in greenwich, most of these definitions are skewed and presumptuous. I don't sail, play lacrosse, wear polo's or lacoste. I am not white,and although I am the minority there is a lot of us in Greenwich, at least 90+ Argentine families, which is where i am from. There definately is the preppy group but to tell you the truth it isnt the majority of the people. While there is a lot of drug addicts and drunks in greenwich the amount of people who smoke between classes (in a school of 3,000 kids) is less than 50, and i personally have never smoked. I just wanted to give people a different view from all the ones that i have been reading which are mainly assumptions and stereotypes. The descriptions other people wrote are true in some ways but still, to a much lesser extent.

Greenwich is something people assume really isn't.
