the american dream 

Getting paid a whole lot to do not a whole hell of a lot.

Person 1: Man, I don't want to go to work today. I just want to get paid to sit on my ass.
Person 2: Ahhh, the American Dream lives on.

worst band ever 

A highly sought-after title among many musicians, including (but not limited to) Nickelback, the Beastie Boys, Aerosmith, Linkin Park and Jessica Simpson. It has been speculated that they pursue this appellation because they are unable to compete in arenas of actual merit, and so have rebelled against the established standards to create their own uniquely emetic mixture of atrocious music and popular appeal.

"Nickelback is the worst band ever."
"That's not official. Yet."

Abingdon 

A small town in southwest Virginia that reminds you of that girl in your math class who is very pretty and sweet, but doesn't have much to offer beyond that. Young people in Abingdon learn to entertain themselves, because the alternative is just too terrible. Popular activities include recreational drug use and blowing up things they find at the grocery store with fireworks.

I'm from Abingdon. Of course I know what a tilapia with a roman candle in it looks like.

bristol 

A small city which is divided over SW Virginia/NE Tennessee via State Street. It has a NASCAR track, and thus is the bane of many existences for a few weekends a year, because out of town race people are crazy drivers, rude customers and frequently drunk in public.

Residents frequently complain of there being nothing to do there, but this is only because they don't live in any of the surrounding towns.

Quit your bitching. Bristol is where Abingdonians go to have fun.

Johnson City 

A city in NE Tennessee where people in the Abingdon/Bristol area go to find the stores and restaurants that everywhere else in the country has. It is often affectionately referred to as "Jesus City" or "the City of Johnson."

You know if you want to buy that we're going to be making a trip to Johnson City.

Kingsport 

A smallish city in NE Tennessee that consistently smells like hot chemical farts, because it is home to Eastman Chemical Company.

Man, you can tell by that smell that we're in kingsport.
