American Dream, the

The widespread aspiration of Americans to live better lives than their parents did.
All of the facist things done in this nation are done to achieve such a thing. Operation Iraqi freedom, the Patriot Act etc...

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.

European-Americans

The counterpart to the term African-Americans. Members of the Anglo-Saxon race who were either born in or live in the United States of America.
Do any Black Americans realize that referring to them as "African-Americans" insinuates that even if they were born in the United States of America they continue to be foreigners? What would happen if mainstream media started referring to White Americans as "European-Americans," as in, "Though in the United States of America the quantity of Latinos (16.3%) now surpasses the number of African-Americans (12.6%), European-Americans comprise 72.4% and Asians comprise 4.8% of the population (2010 Census). Notice that Latinos and Asians have not been inflicted with or infected by a hyphen.

American Card

Similar to the race card, this has been a phenomena in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens used by non-U.S. athletes or by fans of non-U.S. teams as to why an American wins a gold medal or why an American finishes above another country's athlete. The claim is that the IOC is in collusion with the U.S. teams and predetermines results when the truth is that after the 2002 scandals in Salt Lake, the IOC is very anti-American at this point. It serves a double purpose:

1) To justify a loss from an athlete.

2) To voice anti-American sentiment had by athletes, staff, and fans since before the games began.
Prime example: Svetlana Khorkina says the reason she didn't win the All-Around was because she wasn't American.

Another example: S. Koreans are attacking Americans for the scoring error more than the judges that committed the error. Where were they when judges from France and Russia were in collusion to guarantee their skaters gold medals?

American Idol

A stupid, overrated karaoke show that shouldn't have even been on the air in the first place.
I'll bet the American Idol 'judges' can't even sing as well as they can criticize.
