The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate -- Comment by: Norm Chomsky    Rated:5/5

This is the true definition of "Ace": When one exerts soo much force while taking a "Duce" that it is unnessesary to whipe because the fecies came out clean. A precautionary whipe is usually used to ensure an "Ace" has been achieved. Comment by: Joe Dipshit    Rated:3/5

An "Ace" is also a fighter pilot with 5 or more air-to-air victories, e.g., Bob Johnson. Comment by: Falcon    Rated:3/5

Yeah they do. If you get an 'A' on a test then you aced it. Comment by: Americana   

It comes from the tennis term, "ace." A perfect serve that your opponent cannot touch is an ace. When you perform a perfect serve, you ace your opponent...they cannot touch it. Comment by: Jared82CA    Rated:4/5

Used for the tickets sold for a formal dinner event that only allow attendance after the meal is finished.. examples being weddings, formal dress balls and dinner dances. Comment by: Arts Bál   

I use it and I'm English. Comment by: Edwin Okli   

"I was invited to the afters of a wedding" means I was invited to come to the wedding after the meal and the speeches etc. Some people would be highly insulted to be only invited to the afters. Comment by: Joe

aggro is just general violence Comment by: andy mackay   

In the States, "aggro" is an abbreviation of "aggressive," specifically describing someone in the act of angry, violent assault. Commonly seen on the Jerry Springer Show and at drunk frat parties across the US. Comment by: sally    Rated:4/5

'I'm not going to THAT pub again. That guy's there and I don't need the aggro!' Comment by: Funkyfairycakes   

It looks as if the usage (meaning) in the US is different from the usage in Commonwealth countries (UK, Australia, NZ etc.). The US usage seems to lean towards actual violence (like a short form of 'aggression'), and in Commonwealth countries more towards bother, trouble and harassment (like a short form of 'aggravation'). A typical Commonwealth English usage would be, "Lisa? Haven't seen her for months. She was always on at me for some f*ckin' thing or other, and it was just too much aggro, so I left." Or maybe, "I found out she was married, though the bitch had never told me, and I didn't need that kind of aggro." Comment by: Gairlochan    Rated:4/5

Improper English, most avoid using it. Unless your a "redneck", or a "hick". (Country person) Comment by: Girl   

Yeah, right. As long as you don't say this when you're being graded on your oratory, you should be fine. (Besides, anyone who says "hick" or "redneck" is degrading themselves more than they're degrading then they're intending to degrade the person they're calling that.
