The 20% 

A derogatory term for the portion of society who are too stupid or ignorant to be allowed to make decisions.

The term originates from the multitude of "Stupidest things Americans believe" surveys conducted in 2011 showing an alarming trend that roughly 20% of the American population believe ridiculous things.

(eg. 20% of Americans believe; that witches really exist, that they know someone who has been abducted by aliens, that Obama is a Muslim, that the sun revolves around the Earth, etc.)

Alternate pronunciation: "twenty percenter"

You think that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time?!? You're one of the 20% aren't you?

Can we switch seats? This 20% won't stop talking about how the world is going to end in 2012.

2020's (the pure 20's) (the 20's )

This is a pure and beautiful decade, with April of 2021 being a beautiful and pleasant pure month. 2020-2029 are the years in this decade, although some say 2021-2029. Either way, it is a clean and new decade to be in, unique from the decades before and after, just as any decade. 2021 is the pure year, especially spring of 2021. Currently, there is so much potential for this decade, year, next month, and this spring, as they have either just started, or not started yet at all. But unlike with others, the potential is made conscious on this site. So far, this doesn't seem to be the case with any other decade, year, month, or season. Not even in history has there ever been a "pure" decade, yet there has been the naughty 90's, the roaring 20's, etc. Even in ancient history there hasn't been such a time. Perhaps we can call it the purifying 20's.

Person: "Ah, a clean and new fresh decade to live through. A new time. Its the 2020's (the pure 20's) (the 20's )"

The Roaring 20's 

A period in American history where if you had money, all you had to do was invest in stock, kick back, and enjoy the ride. The street was swarming with gangsters, the Klan was lynching blacks, and the economy prospered. What more could you ask for?

It was THE TIME to be living, that is if you weren't poor, of course. In that case, you would just be picking cotton and shitting in your front yard. If you want to know what it was like, read The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald.

My Great Great Grandpa: "Boy life sure does suck ass, picking cotton like a skunkape all day."

Rich Prick: "Oh cheer up you dirt poor pussy! It's The Roaring 20's!"
