Get the I-Town mug.1. A direction, usually seen pointing downward on a compass.
2. A fairly large region of the United States. It consists of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and the southern half of Virginia. Sometimes Florida is considered part of the South. Kentucky and Missouri are NOT the South. Because of some Southern cultural and social connections, these two states are often considered Southern, but they are Midwestern states.

1. Okay, so to get from Indianapolis to Louisville, you'll have to go south.
2. Missouri and Kentucky are not the South because they had large numbers of Irish and German immigrants, they didn't have strong institutions of slavery, and a lot of the people don't even sound Southern; they have neutral-sounding North or South Midland accents. Only the southernmost third of Kentucky and the southernmost parts of Missouri have truly "southern-sounding" people. Plus most of their economic ties are with their fellow Northern states around them, lots of people in Kentucky are descended from Pennsylvanians who came to Kentucky when it was the frontier in the late 1700s, and the overwhelming majority of both Kentuckians and Missourians fought for the North during the Civil War.

Get the South mug.An awesome progressive/arena rock band formed in England during the early 1970s under Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins. When Gabriel finally left at the end of the 70s, Phil Collins soon took over as the band's frontman after countless auditions to find a new lead singer. It was the Phil Collins era in which Genesis experienced its highest popularity and greatest commercial success. The members of Genesis are still together, but their official active career ended during the mid-90s.
With Phil Collins as the lead singer, Genesis was a far greater band than it was during the 1970s. After Peter Gabriel left, future success would prove even better than before, as the band spawned hits including "Abacab", "Turn It On Again", "That's All", "Invisible Touch", "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight", "Jesus He Knows Me", and "No Son of Mine".

Get the Genesis mug.A large, vast consolidated region that makes up almost 2/3 of the United States' total land area. It consists of the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
It's biggest cities, usually range on average from *200,000 to 500,000 people (*inside-city pop.; not metropolitan.) Though most of this huge land mass that includes 25 states is predominately White, Mid-America also is home to millions of Hispanics (especially Mexican), several million Blacks in the large urban centers, and many Native Americans in the western parts of Mid-America. This major portion of the country is mostly conservative, with a strong Republican political presence, though there are many Democrats and liberals as well. Christianity is very prominent and of great importance here.

Mid-America is a wonderful place to raise a family, make your career, and truly one of the greatest areas to live the American Dream. It is a very fine place to live.

Get the Mid-America mug.The greatest decade in American culture and media. During this time, major medical advances were made, including successful antibiotics and the MRI. Some of the greatest bands ever were born in this 10-year era. Bands such as Duran Duran, Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne, Mike and The Mechanics, and Tears For Fears. Meanwhile, other bands that had already been formed became even more popular and successful. These include Chicago, Genesis, The Moody Blues, The Cars, REO Speedwagon, and Journey.
Some of the greatest movies ever were also produced during this time period. 80s Movies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Uncle Buck, The Breakfast Club, Beverly Hills Cop, Rainmain, Back To The Future, Ghostbusters, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, and Glory will forever be enshrined as some of the most awesome films ever made.

I consider myself to be a "Child of The 80s", being born in February 1986. I grew up on the music of the mid and late 80s, as well as the early 90s. I still get great enjoyment from watching movies from that era. The culture, music, and TV of today sure makes me long for the 80s again; today's culture and media is very shitty in my opinion.

Get the the 80s mug.A large North American nation that should not hate the United States, and in turn, the United States should not hate Canada. Our two countries are supposed to be Allies; War of 1812 history be damned. They have fought on our side. For example, they joined the fray during the Korean War (1950-1953)
Why can't the US and Canada just get along? We are brothers, and we should act like we are brothers, too.

Get the Canada mug.1.) Prefix used in defining massed regions, usually either involving an alliance or the area of a particular event. For example, an epidemic of a disease spreading across a large portion of the world is known as a pandemic.
2.) The proper pronunciation of "pen", a writing utensil, in The North and the Midwest.
