Aswan syndrome

The belief that saying something makes it so, no matter what reality is. Common among middle managers.

The term comes from the Aswan Dam, a powerful source of electricity, all powered by De Nile (denial).

"Why don't we have enough people for this job?"

"Management have Aswan Syndrome."

Asian Parents 

(Usually, but not always) Strict, nosey, and controlling. They make you go to summer school if you get a B+ in an honors math class, even if you had the best grade out of all the Asians who took that class, and replace your grade all because 'if you get 4.0, you get sit on stage when graduate!'. To Asian parents, summer is not a 'break' as it is to other children in America, but 'a time to catch up'. Summer for Asian kids include SAT/ACT/PSAT prep (whether its doing books or taking classes), summer school, piles of math books, etc. while others are hanging out with friends and making s'mores. Asian Parents control their kids' lives because they want them to get into a good college, so that 1) They can brag to their asian friends about what college you go to <---MAIN REASON 2) You can be a doctor and make lots of money and 3) They can brag about how much money you make as a doctor
Asian parents often put on a facade to others that they are nice, normal American parents. Then, when your friends leave (if they ever get the OK to come over), your parents start yelling at you, pressuring you to do math, and/or beating you for something you did that 'embarassed' them (i.e. having a messy room). They also severely disapprove of technology (computers, ipods, tvs). If you get an A- its CLEARLY your ipods fault, so its going to be taken away until you get above a 98. If you watch an hour of TV, they begin yelling at you to stop and give you a lecture about how TV is like crack.

Asian summer: 8am-1:30pm summer school, 1:30pm-3:00pm math, 3:00pm-6:00pm tennis, 6:00pm-10:30pm math, FML

Asian parents: "I signed you up for PSAT class!"
Me:"...fine..."
Asian parents:"Ooo since good deal I signed you up for ACT class too!"
Me:"...WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!! But according to these pretests Ill either get a 35 or a 36!!!"

Me:"....I got...a 92%..."
Asian mom:"WHAT?! I told you no ipod! NO MORE IPOD till you get 98!!"

Me: -watching friends-
Asian mom: YOU WATCH TV FOR SO LONG!!!! GO DO MATH!!!
Me: But mom I've only been watching for an hour!!!
Asian mom: TV like drug!!! Once start can neeveerrrr stop! Addicted then you grades go down!

Asian mom: NO TV ON WEEKDAYS....AND 2 HOURS ON WEEKENDS

Asian mom: Getting B like cutting your leg off!

Asian Avenue 

Way back before Facebook, Xanga, MySpace, Twitter and Tumblr, there was Asian Avenue. Asian Avenue is a social networking site that most Asian teenagers raised in America used to use. Back then everyone had cool pages.

You can make pages on Asian Avenue.
