American idol

1.An completely useless show in which people try to raise publicity of themselves regardless of musical talent

2.An American who travels to many countries and has sexual intercourse with many partners without receiving a disease

I only watch American idol for the tryouts

American Exceptionalism

A patriotism-based political belief that states that the United States of America is unique or exceptional when compared with the historical development of other countries, and is thus considered better than other countries regardless of context.

More extreme cases of this have led to white-washing of historical events, propaganda and violation of international law under the pretense that "it's not a crime when America does it."

America's greatness, America's exceptional greatness, is not based on that fact that we are the most powerful, most prosperous - and most generous - nation on earth. Rather, those things are the result of American Exceptionalism.

American Dream

Depending on the context, either a 60-month, low APR, zero money down delusion of upward mobility; or a television-induced, straight-line reduced, quick-fix diluted futility.

"Todd the textile worker had to trade in his American Dream for a cardboard box because his corporate-owned government sent his job to China."

American Eagle

a clothing store for teenagers with a generally "preppy" style. it doesnt say anything about your personality if you shop there. and you should not be labeled a bitch just because you like an ae shirt. half the people leaving ae definitions have most likely never worn ae let alone gone into one of their stores. my god!

Just because i wear American eagle, it doesnt mean i'm a bitch

the american dream

Getting paid a whole lot to do not a whole hell of a lot.

Person 1: Man, I don't want to go to work today. I just want to get paid to sit on my ass.
Person 2: Ahhh, the American Dream lives on.
