Don't be fooled with trickery by businesses.
Made in AMERICA. America is a continent. There is South, Middle and North America. Canada and Mexico are part of America.
So if you see "Made In America" and expect it to have been made in the UNITED STATES it could be misleading.

I support the United States having jobs. That is why I buy "Made In America" products. Last week I found out that my toothbrush, which said Made In America on it, was Made In Mexico. But since Mexico is a part of the American Continent, the company was not lying about where the product was made so I could not sue.

Get the Made In America mug.A Competition, often held at the end of college finals week, in which teams of four attempt to first consume a 30 pack of beer, then an eighth of an ounce of marijuana, then two large pizzas, and then finish a 100 piece puzzle.
Penalties, usually time, are imposed for spilling beer or vomiting.
Variations on the rules exist:
The beer can be a 36 pack instead of a 30.
The amount of marijuana is sometimes reduced to 2 grams.
The puzzle is sometimes more pieces, depending on how long the participants want the competition to last.
Also, some competitions change the order of events to account for the Beer before bong rule (that's just wrong).
Another variation exists wherein the teams begin in the morning, can drink, smoke, and eat simultaneously, and then once everything has been consumed, may move on to a 1,000 piece puzzle. The teams have until midnight (or in some cases, sunrise of the next day) to complete the challenge. In this variation, the challenge is more geared toward "getting it done" than racing and can be performed by a single team of four if desired.

"Fuck yeah!"

Get the The Great American Challenge mug.Related Words
An animated show about The Department of Integration, in both a fictional government agency and version of New York City. The show focuses on Mark Lilly, a new employee at said department, and also often shows his alcoholic wizard work partner Leonard Powers, his zombie roommate Randall Skeffington, and his demon girlfriend Callie Maggotbone (voiced by the incredibly hot Natasha Leggero). Its pointless as hell, has characters you would kill if you had to deal with them on a daily basis, and the fact the show will never establish a plot that makes sense (which isn't saying it doesn't maintain one, its just too crazy to understand). Its like The Office... its so unrealistic its hilarious.
The show has legendary quotes such as: "SUCK MY BALLS", "I really wanna see these trees fuck" (fuck being bleeped on U.S. Television), and an episode where Councilman Fitzpatrick, a Fishman, not only bangs hookers while campaigning to become The Mayor of New York City, but also jumps out of a helicopter for his big rally and is chopped to pieces by the rotor blades.

In the pilot episode of Ugly Americans: The Birdman flew over the building and crapped on Mark's head, when complaining to the Birdman, the Birdman simply replied "SUCK MY BALLS!". As it would seem crude, The Birdman Language actually consists of over 500 ways of saying suck my balls, with each way having a different definition. This Testicular Reference Language is later revealed in the season.

Get the Ugly Americans mug.American football and rugby are both physically demanding sports... I've played both... The styles of play are much different though... Rugby is about pure tackling and ball movement as opposed to football which is about impact in addition to tackling skill and quick linear movement down field. The speed and impact in American football is the reason for the pads (without them, the amount of spinal cord and brain injuries would be horriffic)... With regard to the breaks between plays in football, there's a purpose other than giving the big guys on the lines a break (and by big, I mean 300+ pounds...). American football is a game of set plays and tends to get very complex with all the terminology and the amount of plays you have to memorize (most coaches script anywhere from 150 to 250 possible plays per game). Granted, rugby is more fast paced and the plays are more oriented to the flow of the game which makes it pretty exciting to watch and challenging to play. As far as I'm concerned, they're both great sports with their own challenges.
Would like to get your ear ripped off in a scrum or have Roy Williams crush you coming over the middle playing American football?!?

Get the American Football mug.A Generally All around good store.
Many people judge the girls and guys who wear it thinking they are imature, popular bitches.
This is NOT ALWAYS the case. I shop there sometimes when there are sales, and occasionaly treat my slef to a high quality, cute button up shirt or polo. But I don't waste my money on a plain tank I can get at Target.
I do agree it is annoying to see 5 girls wearing the same shirt as you though.
I don't like labeling, and it's a cute store. It's not way over priced like Abercrombie or it's brother, Fitch.
I'm just saying it's judged to much, because populars make fools of them selfves, and anyone who wears it.
If you like it, good for you! If you don't, what's it to you? you arn't wearing it...

Get the America's Hat mug.Like the other definition suggests, Middle America denotes the region of the USA which lies between the two coasts. The term is largely synonymous on the level of meaning with broader uses of "Midwest."
The two terms, however, differ in their connotations. While "Midwest" is a term whose etymology is unclear (what, exactly, is the Midwest in the middle of?), "Middle America" marks the Midwest by contrasting it with the two edges on the east and west. "Middle America," then, always marks its signified term through contrast with the unmarked coasts.
The effect of this contrast is to insult. The term is almost always derogatory, as the other definition shows. "Middle America" is seen as secondary in importance to the coasts, unimportant and not worth knowing, and this attitude is justified through various caricatures: those from "Middle America" are provincial and unsophisticated, etc.
In short: "Middle America" is a perjorative term for the "Midwest."
