something that amuses and serves to make time pass agreeably
1776, Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations: Hunting and fishing, the most important employments of mankind in the rude state of society, become in its advanced state their most agreeable amusements, and they pursue for pleasure what they once followed from necessity. In the advanced state of society, therefore, they are all very poor people who follow as a trade what other people pursue as a pastime.

something that serves to make time pass agreeably; a pleasant means of amusement, recreation, or sport
Strutt (Sports and Pastimes) suggests that the first player's bowl may have been regarded by the second player as a species of jack; but in that case it is not clear what was the first player's target.

a.k.a Baseball. Best sport to see live and to play. Get's the nickname "America's Pastime" due it's popularity and history in the U.S, although it is played all around the world, and many MLB playes are from other countries.
Nothing is better then going to a baseball game on a cool spring day,with the fresh smell of cut grass, getting a hot dog, and just relaxing watching the game. Nothing.

America's pastime= my life

Usually reserved for baseball, hot dogs and beer; this nifty little phrase can be used to refer to something that's either ridiculously popular or equally obscure.

1. Bombing dictatorships

2. Cleaning up other countries when they shit in the bed and the stench spills over.

3. Pissing off Europe in through this process because its funny, and because we know they're no longer relevant to anywhere outside their own continent. They've yet to realize otherwise.
America's Pastime:
1. "Hey we just bombed another genocidal asshole. Ha ha!"

2. "Hey we just bombed another genocidal terrorist-harboring asshole! Ha ha!"

3. Europeans: "Stop bombing genocidal maniacs and terrorist assholes you Nazis! Why can't you be like us and realize a country of 10 million assfucked slaves over the course of generations is good, while 300,000 civilian casualties to place a democracy is equal to hitler!"
