The Empire

Something large, evil, and seemingly undefeatable. A reference to the Galactic Empire from the Star Wars movies, but not as badass.

Guy 1: I don't believe it! Even after all this shit that's happened over the past several years, all the lies, torture, and wiretapping, how the hell haven't Bush and Cheney been prosecuted yet?

Guy 2: That's the empire for you.

Empirate

ehm-pie'-ret n. one who advocates then hijacks an establishment or expansion of empire, esp. with the intent of either personal enrichment or advancement of fundamentalist philosophies. A pirate of empire.

Note: for the sake of the author's conditional liberty, please do not assume that the preceding definition refers to either Dick Cheney or Paul Wolfowitz. The two are more accurately described as assholes.

"...and I for one welcome our new empirate overlords!"

empire

1. The personal domain of a single individual. Usually a collection of possessions or property which form a vast, impressive, and usually expensive group.

2. An enormous business, corporation, or other institution which controls many subsidiaries.

1. Don't get me wrong, I'd like to sell the corner store someday. I guess I'm just afraid of losing a piece of my empire.

2. I like using Windows even though I dislike supporting the Microsoft Empire.
