AmeriCorps

U.S. domestic peace corps, paid in stipend by a congressional act signed in the early Clinton years. Major function is training, community policing, health education, and community service leaders. Would potentially satisfy national service requirements for conscientious objectors in case a military draft were to be instituted, much like the Civilian Conservation Corps of old.

After college I joined AmeriCorps, which paid off all my college loans after 10 months of service.

AmeriCorp

The new name applied to "America" since it's hostile take over by "Big Business"...

AmeriCorp has no problem whatsoever oppressing it's slaves (formerly known as citizens) as long as it remains ridiculously profitable...

How can anyone compete with AmeriCorp's sweat shops and child labor... they make China look like human rights Heaven...

AmeriCorpse

Thinking you're going to get great job experience between your BA and Masters by joining AmeriCorps, but finding out you've been used for mindless data entry by non-profits (due to cheapness of hiring ameriCorps members)...leading to a slow painful death of boredom and misery. Or zombie-like appearance due to the death of idealism.

Noun: AmeriCorpse
Verb: AmeriCorpsed

Man, I thought I'd get experience with grant-writing but I've been doing menial data-entry!

Dude, you just got AmeriCorpsed!

What?

You're an AmeriCorpse. Dead to them. You're lower than "intern."

Oh my god you're right.

Americornization

The process by which foreigners living in the US find their tolerance for cornyness significantly increased, i.e. by getting teary-eyed when watching a presidential address, developing a need to cry and tell your friends you love them on a daily basis, or by getting strongly emotionally involved in the Chris Brown/Rihanna affair.

Terry: Wow, did you see that exchange student tear up while Obama talked about the whispers of the dead soldiers in Arlington?

Jane: I know, it didn't take long for Americornization to kick in
