AMCUS is the acronym more commonly, and unofficially, used for the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). For reference, USMCA is the renegotiated and rewritten version of what was the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
The success of negotiating the USMCA would get more buzz if the letters of the acronym were rearranged to be able to be spoken like a word, such as AMCUS.

soupcan ambush 

(noun)
With origins on college campuses, it’s a cash withdrawal system which allows the financially broke student to access fast money by way of placing, generally, 3 unopened soupcans into a pillowcase, finding an unsuspecting lender in a compromised and singular situation, braining them with the soupcan pillowcase, and then once they are dropped liberating them of any and all valuables and cash on their person.
Not only did Jordy invent the soupcan ambush—-he perfected it. I swear to be such a destructive fucker he could load up a few of my cans of soup into his pillowcase, slip off into the night, locate victim he deemed appropriate, drop them, and return back to the dorm in less than an hour with serious bank and the soupcans undamaged.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
