67th amendment

The refusal to testify on the grounds that a person's lungs (or other organs) will be viciously chopped up into that of a hamburger.

"I um...can't testify. I fear that my organs will be chopped up into a patty."
"Ah, the 67th amendment."

abandonment spooge

drips of water that probably contain lead, asbestos, pigeon shit and a host of other horrors, that fall on your head while wandering around abandoned buildings.

I was heading to the admin and a drop of abandonment spooge went down the back of my shirt.

1st Amendment 

The first of ten amendments of the Bill of Rights to the American Consitution. It essentially grants citizens freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. The literal text is as follows.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

If one does mot approve of something, he or she has the right to peacefully protest because of the 1st Amendment.

Abandonment Culture

In dysfunctional families, abandonment culture takes on many forms of abandoning family members rather than having a sense of compassion, love and responsibility for one another. Abandonment culture can also be a part of society as a whole, having no sense of social responsibility for people living in poverty, homelessness, etc...

"We dropped grandma off at the nursing home because she's getting old. We're keeping abandonment culture alive and well."
"Your brother is down on his luck and is facing homelessness? He can't live with us, keeping abandonment culture strong."
"You're about to turn 18, we have no sense of family so I have to kick you out now as abandonment culture is a part of this defective family."
"You're pregnant, don't expect me to be there for this child. I plan on establishing abandonment culture in this family immediately."

First Amendment 

The First Amendment allows the people of the United States to voice unpopular opinions, preventing tyranny by the majority. It also allows people to assembly peaceable and allows the press to report fact and voice opinion without prior restraint. If we cannot petition our government for the redress of grievances we risk the hardening of a permanent majority into a self-enforcing bureaucracy.

Thomas Jefferson once said that if forced to choose between government without newspapers, and newspapers without government, he wouldn't hesitate to choose the latter. Assembly, the exchange of ideas, and understanding the actions of society keep us free, and are why the press was intended to be a de facto fourth branch of government.

"Free Speech is the right to yell, "Theater!" at a crowded fire."

- Abbie Hoffman, radical, describing the First Amendment
