Yet another record people love to hate simply because it breaks rank from a bands usual musical direction. Also associated with the "Liberal Media Bias", along with Micheal Moore films, any TV stations minus Fox News, and other scapegoats for peoples mindless hate.

a store that has the best clothes and accessories.
most people bitch about how its for posers and rich preps but they are only jealous because they would never look good in the clothes or they cant afford them because they are stubborn losers who dont shop there because they want to try and act "different" and cool in front of their equally loser friends eventhough all of them are the same so they arent actually being "different" now are they? i think not
group of goth kids: "check out that loser in the american eagle shirt, she is so not different like us"
girl: "too bad everyone of you is wearing all black...not very different is you ask me so quit your bitching"

An awesome store(and I'm considered 'goth' at my school)!
The jeans are wicked comterable though the gloves are like $18 it has more sizes than A&F because not everyone is a size 2.Also it may be cheaper but its just as good, don't judge a store by its prices.(btw L.L. Bean is a way of life.)
Someone: American Eagle is so stupid.
Sometwo(haha get it?: So are you....you are carrying around an American Eagle bag ya know?

As the United States is so large and comprised of so many various immigrants, people often refer to their heritage. Americans pride themselves on the "meting pot" culture, as it has always been a big part of the strength and adaptability of their country as a whole. So an American might say that they are Italian, Polish, Russian or Irish - they do not mean that they are those nationalities, this is usage within the context of America.
Hyphenated Americans tend to have cultures slightly different from mainstream American culture; habits and traditions brought over from the countries their family emmigrated from. Many retain the drinks, food, language, customs,and music of their heritage. They also tend to look like their cultural background...Italian, Irish, Indian, Polish etc... Some Europeans feel that they are aping the culture of European countries, but often they are just acting as they were brought up to act by their European born parents. Whether Irish-American, Russian-American, Italian-American etc...they all share some cultural characteristics with the countries their families left.It really is not such a big deal, all countries with heavy immigration do the same, such as Canada, England, Australia and New Zealand. Americans get the most flack for it though.
Tony Soprano (although fictional)is considered Italian/Italian-American when in America. He is an American first, but he is also from Jersey and is Italian American. Italian-American, his Hyphenated Americans group, is just a statement of his cultural background.

AU STUDENT "Hey AU, can I set up a lemonade stand outside MGC since its such a hot day?
AU ADMIN "Sorry kid, American University doesn't let students do anything unless you fill out these 35 forms and get the signatures of every government official in our administration. We'll probably get back to you in 5 months with our response. In the meantime, just go to TDR and drink some of our all natural watered down minute-maid lemonade."
