The 22-year-old poet who spoke with poise and eloquence at the inauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, reading her poem "The Hill We Climb". Ms. Gorman, the youngest inaugural poet in United States history, earned wide praise and admiration for her contribution to an event regarded, by several measures, as historically significant.

Amanda Gorman joins a small group of poets who have graced a presidential inauguration with their words, among them Robert Frost, Maya Angelou, Miller Williams, Elizabeth Alexander and Richard Blanco.

From "The Hill We Climb", she read:
"And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it.
Somehow, we do it.
Somehow, we’ve weathered and witnessed
A nation that isn’t broken, but simply unfinished."

Do a Germany!

When you leave your work unexpectedly early and to everyone’s surprise. This stems from perennial football, soccer champions Germany, who were surprisingly knocked out at the first stage of the world cup , finishing bottom of their group, following an embarrassing defeat by South Korea. When most people including themselves thought they were certain winners.

Dave: hey where you going, still got 2 hours of the shift left.
Marmaduke: Fuck it, I’m out of here, if the boss asks, tell him I’ve decided to do a Germany!

hippie German Shepherd

A German Shepherd dog belonging to a hippie that exists on the cheapest food - sometimes handouts, no veterinarian care and no obedience training. These usually friendly dogs often can be seen with beggars on median strips or sidewalks, and often end up on animal shelters if the hippie is jailed, moves away or just doesn't want it anymore.

I got my dog from the animal shelter, he's a hippie German Shepherd and it's going to take a lot of work to train him.
