act of government

(n.) unfortunate event which could not have been stopped at all, caused by actions of the President, City Hall, Congress, the police, the Armed Forces, the Federal Reserve, etc.

A law, act, raid, summons, tax, or action performed/passed by the above which results in the indiscriminate loss of life, property, money or livelihood.

A play upon "Act of God", as it implies a destructive action by an unstoppable, unreasoning and (near) omnipotent entity which cannot be prevented or contained. However, measures can be taken to lessen the damage done and recover from the wreckage.

Dr. Earl's medical practice was performing a much needed service to the community and was doing quite well - until the city seized his property through eminent domain and gave the land to another McDonalds. Talk about an act of government.

government

An evil system that drains everyone's money and makes them live miserable lives. No wonder there are so many homeless people.

I can't even explain how evil the government is and how stupid the system is.

Government

Some one's true identity, used as slang. It is the person's true name and real identity.

For example, 50 Cent's Government is Curtis.
Lloyd Bank's Government is Christopher, etc...

In the song "HELP" By Lloyd Banks Ft. Keri Hillson, that term appears.

When someone knows your Government that means you better lay low and let the heat die down a bit before you go on another spree.

Governor Livingston

A high school in Berkeley Heights, a smallish town in northern New Jersey. With a population of no more than 2,000 students, there is not an ounce of diversity, with the exception of some Asians and indians. You will see no more than 2 black people per grade, and the lack of diversity gives the town its infamous nickname it bears, Berkeley Whites. Governor Livingston is the epitome of a bigoted small town high school. The students are either competing to go to ivy schools, have their parents pay them into some mediocre private school, or, attend rutgers, ucc, or msu. The teachers and faculty get cancelled and flamed every months when racist or homophobic issues get exposed, but it all washes over in a few months, the “change” being a new student run diversity club. The gym bathrooms are not for traditional restroom uses. Every time you enter, you will find at least one student skipping class, and the entire bathroom getting hotboxed from nicotine addicts. If you go in the morning, you’ll find many students crammed into the big stall, passing a cart around, trying to get high before class starts. Any words or story’s you tell to your friend in that bathroom, the entire will find out about. Any male teacher in the school is most likely a pedophile, and that change increases at the same rate of their age.

Person 1- Hey, what school did you graduate from?
Person 2- Governor Livingston, why?
Person 1- That makes sense, you have no idea how to function in an environment that’s not bigoted, clique, and gossipy!
