Like a professor emeritus, a professor ameritus is a professor who has retired except in this case without having racked up any meritorious accomplishments such as publications, research grants, or teaching awards; a retired academic goldbrick.
Having accomplished nothing throughout his long academic career except collecting a substantial undeserved salary and enviable retirement benefits, they should've conferred the title of professor ameritus (i.e. without merit) upon him.
Ameritrash is port-manteau of "American trash" meant as a pejorative towards a genre of American boardgames. In general, this connotes games that highly emphasize theme (i.e. story, background, motivation, etc), player to player conflict, and usually feature a moderate to high element of luck. This is used in contrast to Eurogames.
There was much debate as to whether "Axis & Allies" was Ameritrash or not.

* Can imply effortless weight loss, suppressed hunger, or being “powered by pharmaceuticals”
Notes:
Not a brand name—just shorthand for the whole GLP-1 wave. Frequently shows up in online jokes, gym talk, and group chats where people pretend they’re *totally* doing it naturally.
