American Eagle

A clothing store that sells clothing for teenagers that usually can be labeled as being cheaper. If you are one of those people who think that Hollister is not in your taste and you can't see because it's too dark, and you think Abercrombie and Fitch is too expensive, and you like preppy clothes, then you most likely would like these clothes. It really isn't that expensive either and have reasonably priced clothing that of course anyone could do by themselves, but most people don't even know how to even know where the stuff is made so they would most likely ruin it. Pretty much the Target of the preppy fasion.

Friend: You go to American Eagle?

Me: No.

Friend: Why?

Me: Because I don't like to be a conformist that is mainstream, like you.

Friend: Then why do you always wear those gay ass looking Ralph Lauren Polo Shirts?

Me: STFU

entitled american

Someone who feels that because of their race or ethnic group that they are entitled to more from our government than other people.

Entitled American can be Blacks who are voting for Barack Obama just because he is part black, thinking they will get additional entitlements if he is elected President.

African-American

A term meant to describe Americans of African origin. The term 'Black' and its predecessor 'Negro' have fallen out of favor due to a plethora of reasons, most particularly the terms 'Black' and 'Negro' do not define a specific place since Asians could be defined as Black, see Vijay Singh, moreover the term Negro which fell out of favor decades ago because it failed to properly represent a place African Americans could relate to. The term 'African American' has fallen into the acceptable realm of a proper definition because it defines a place, it defines a region where Africans are one.
Which begs the question, why would Americans of African ethnicity WANT to assocciate themselves with a place other than America? Simply put, slavery, Jim Crow and continued disenfranchizement of African Americans has led them to create a moniker as a defence mechanism, a way to associate with others of their kind in collective objection to American 'White' culture as a whole.

The numerous entries on this thread detailing the ineffectual and unneccessary use of the term African American clearly shows the lack of understanding whites have about people of African ethnicity. Perhaps people should get to know an African American, get to know them before passing judgements and making childish and inane comments about how people choose to refer to themselves.

I am a proud African American. Irrespective of the fact that I have no relatives in Africa, the people in that region of the world are closer to me than any American of euro-trash ancestry ever will be.

anti-American

tradesmen defined anti-american as:

"To be against America or Americans."

What exactly does that mean? To be against America. In what aspect?

I live here, I was born here, I pay taxes. I don't plan to move. I like it here.

Since I live here and I like it here, would you consider me pro-American?

Tool: You anti-American liberals are commies.
Educated Person: Look up what communism means before you start going off blindly.

American Idiot

An Album by Green Day that was half good half bad. I HATE Wake Me Up When September ends. but there are some good underrated songs like Letterbomb, Extraordinary Girl, Jesus of Suburbia and Homecoming. Holiday's okay because of the really anti-bush part near the end. Listen to Dookie or Nimrod instead.

Not real Fan: OMG! American Idiot rocks! I love wake me up when september ends.

Real Fan: Some of the songs are okay but Dookie's better.

Not Real Fan: What's Dookie?
