Sort of feeling sorry for the 'plight' of Americans as they are constantly being the target of criticism. I wonder if Romans were laughed at during their prime? Or being filthy rich and big gives you the right to being dumb? See Words of War and check out 'hammer-time':
Alternative to going kinetic (cf) - time to make an attack. As used by US Vice Admiral Timothy Keating on board USS Constellation on eve of war, to strains of Queen's We Will Rock You: "Make no mistake, when the president says go - look out, it's hammer time." Stands in contrast to rhetoric used by UK Lieutenant Colonel Tim Collins. Reader David, UK says: "Inspires strange images of parachute-pant-wearing rapper MC Hammer."
Hum, interesting comparison of pep talks... HY told me that one of their high rank military officers actually shouted, "We will Rock n' Roll!" on national television--Bless them. You would have to admit: Americans love the word, "Rock". Someone told me that the majority of them cannot handle 5-letter vocabulary words or ones with over 2 syllables. As for the self-important elites, their sentences have to lard with meaningless 5-syllables.
