"African", "Colored", "Negro", "Black", "Afro-American", "African American", ...
The terms used to refer to Black Americans change with time, because times change and words have to change along with them. Brought over from Africa to serve as slaves, Blacks eventually found freedom eventually came but not equality. Treated as second-class citizens, Blacks were finally granted equal rights but not equal privileges, and the search for a common term - a name they can use to describe themselves - continues today, raising important questions: Who chooses the names? What meanings do they carry? What is the historical progression that they reflect? What does the difficulty of finding and keeping a name reveal? Certainly it's more than just a linguistic debate; but maybe less than the passionate reactions it spurs. The changes in the names "Black Americans" wish to be called express a complex search for a cultural and racial identity.
During slavery, Blacks arriving from Africa naturally chose to call themselves "Africans", whereas colonists often used the adjectives "slave" or "free", or else the Portuguese word "negro". The term "African" can still be found in the names of religious congregations such as the "First African Baptist Church", the "African Episcopal Church" or the "African Masonic Lodge" ... However Blacks soon lost touch with the traditions of their homeland as a result of a policy that often separated children from their families at birth. Furthermore, their exposure to racist representations that portrayed Africans as heathen, ape-like savages running naked in the jungle soon led Blacks to reject a term whose negative connotations when used by Whites became obvious. Hence African fell into disuse. With the end of the slave trade - which remained intense until 1833 despite its abolition in 1807 - the absence of massive new arrivals rendered the term obsolete. African became an insult. The 1991 film "Boyz 'N The Hood" illustrates the harsh consequences awaiting those who use it when ten-year-old Tre gets into a fight for telling his classmate they are both Africans, and is suspended from school.
While "negro" was used by all, the word "Colored" (often spelled "Coloured") soon became prevalent in the Black community. Miscegenation was common, which resulted in a wider spectrum of skin complexion. White men had full power over their slaves and rapes often occurred; impregnating female slaves was one way of increasing a precious commodity, among other things. Widely used until the beginning of the 20th century, the term "Colored" allowed America, a slave society that would later become an institutionally racist nation-state, to create a category encompassing all non-Whites. "Colored" could include "Blacks", "Native Americans", "Mexicans" in the Southwest, and later "Asians" and "Latinos", though it referred primarily to Blacks as the name of the largest Black political association, the National Association for the "Advancement of Colored People" founded in 1909, still attests. This is, however, probably the only context in which the use of the word is appropriate today. In the Sixties Colored took on racist connotations, and Colored boy was the insult that tipped off Sidney Poitier in They Call Me MISTER Tibbs! (1970).
...
The 1970s and 1980s gave birth to the many hyphenated terms that describe modern America's ethnic minorities ("Irish-Americans", "Italian-Americans", "Hispanic-Americans", "Asian-Americans", etc.). Words such as "Eurasian" or "Afroeuropean" had long been used by anthropologists. The Black community chose "Afro-American", which had been used in writing since the beginning of the century. In an attempt to put the two components of the term on equal footing, "Afro-American" gave way to "African-American" and later "African American". The hyphen was deleted as it implied the idea of a sub-category. Other suggestions did not catch on, such as "AfriAmerican", "AfraAmerican", "Afrikan" or even more creative inventions such as "Afrindeur American" (short for "African-Indian-European" in reference to the multiracial origins of most Black Americans) or "Dobanian" (short for "Descendant of Black African Natives in the American North"), which found few supporters. "African American" did not gain acceptance without arousing debates, even if these disputes aroused less passion than those surrounding the change from Colored and Negro to Black. African Americans were quick to adopt the term. Problems arose with the 1990 census since many Blacks did not identify as black and added African American as a category instead. Jesse Jackson defended the new term, which he used and explained at a press conference in December 1988: compared to Black, African American expresses a sense of belonging to a culture and, more important, creates a bridge with the African continent. It evokes slavery and acculturation while claiming an African heritage. African American emphasizes an African Diaspora rather than an American minority. Roughly ten years after the new name was first promoted, it is now accepted and used by all. Africa is once again part of the name of Black Americans, as if the quest for identity had ended where it began. Returning to cultural origins that should never have been renounced, Black Americans have come full circle.
...
Because biracial remains vague, some prefer to use terms such as "AfroAsian", "AfroEuropean", "EuroAsian", "AfroHispanic", "African Latino", etc. But what about a child whose four grandparents are Black, Asian, White and Hispanic? An easy way out is to use the term "multiracial", which like "multicultural" recently came into vogue. Yet, who in America cannot be said to be multiracial? Don't the terms used to describe Blacks refer to a culture, after all, rather than a race?
...
"bell hooks" (who does not capitalize her name) is a particularly accessible critic of popular culture. In her many books, she identifies herself as an "Afrofemcentric" - that is, "afrocentrist and feminist". Michele Wallace, working on similar issues, calls herself an "Afrofemlezcentrist", meaning an "afrocentrist, a feminist and a lesbian" (referring to her sexuality but more important, to lesbian culture). The late Black poet Essex Hemphill spoke openly of his homosexuality before the term "afroqueercentric" was coined. Will these words influence the way we speak of ourselves?

'bogart' actually appears in 1968. The song "Don't Bogart Me" by Elliot Ingber and Larry Wagner appears on Fraternity Of Man's eponymous album, released 24 June 1968 by ABC Records. The song was later covered by the band Little Feat under the title "Don't Bogart That Joint." Also, my understanding (never having seen the movie) is that the word's appearance in "Easy Rider" is actually in the song, which is playing in one of the scenes. The song also appears on the movie's soundtrack.

Der Revolver, der im mexikanischen Krieg 1847 seinen Durchbruch hatte, ist benannt nach dem Erfinder Colt, Samuel.
Colt, Samuel (1814-1862), patentierte eine Revolver-Pistole von der die US-Regierung 1847 im Mexikanischen Krieg 1.000 Stück orderte. Dieser Revolver wurde so populär, dass 'Colt' auch allgemein für Revolver benutzt wird.
"His revolving-breech pistol became so popular that the word Colt was sometimes used as a generic term for the revolver."
Der Begriff 'Colt' steht damit in einer Reihe mit 'Uhu' und 'Tempo'.

gerrymander
(E?)(L?) http://www.yourDictionary.com/
(E?)(L?) http://www.fraudfactor.com/ffgerrymander.html
(Verb), Pronunciation: ['je-ri-mæn-dêr]
Definition 1: To divide a political territory into districts such that each contains a large concentration of voters for the current majority party and a small concentration of voters for the minority party.
Etymology: In 1812, the US painter, Gilbert Stuart, noticed on a map in a newspaper office, a voting district that had been created by the Democratically dominated Massachusetts assembly during the governorship of Elbridge Gerry ['geri, not 'jeri]. The district had been carved in a most peculiar manner in order to assure that the results of any election in that district would favor the Democrats. Stuart immediately drew eyes, claws, and wings on the outline of the district because it looked like a salamander (a drawing that later became a very famous political cartoon which you can now see at "www.fraudfactor.com/ffgerrymander.html". Someone in the office watched him and called it a 'gerrymander' ['ge-ri-mæn-dêr]. Within a year the noun was being used as the verb it is today. Stuart was the leading portrait artist of his day. He painted the best known portraits of the first six US presidents, including Washington, Jefferson, and Adams.
ist amerikanischer Slang für "Hure". Diese Bezeichnung stammt aus dem US-Bürgerkrieg als Spitzname für die "Begleitung" des Heeres von General Joseph Hooker.
"hooker" = "a prostitute" = "Nutte", "Prostituierte" - An American Civil War general known as "Joseph Hooker" provides the origin of the word "hooker", a colloquial term for "prostitute". Hooker commanded the Army of the Potomac for five months in 1863. His men were drunken and disorderly and given to womanizing. Charles Francis Adams, Jr., grandson of John Quincy Adams, said Hooker's headquarters was: "a place where no self-respecting man liked to go, and no decent woman could go. It was a combination of barroom and brothel". - Some years ago a book with the title "The Happy Hooker: My Own Story" by Xaviera Hollander became a best seller in English speaking countries.

Den Vereinigten Staaten war jedoch an einem wirtschaftlich starken und politisch stabilen Europa als Handelspartner gelegen. Am 05.06.1947 legte der US-Außenminister und spätere Friedensnobelpreisträger "George C. Marshall" in einer Rede an der Harvard University den Grundstein für das Europäische Wiederaufbauprogramm (European Recovery Program - ERP).
In Folge des nach ihm benannten "Marshallplans" erhielten ab 1948 westeuropäische Länder - den Ländern in ihrem Machtbereich hatte die UdSSR die Teilnahme untersagt - als Wirtschaftshilfe Kredite in Höhe von ca. 12,4 Mrd. US-$ (heutiger Wert rd. 90 Mrd.), wobei der deutsche Anteil etwa 1,4 Mrd. betrug.

maverick (W3)
(E?)(L?) http://www.yourdictionary.com/
Das Langenscheidt Wörterbuch übersetzt das englische "maverick" mit "(abtrünniger) Einzelgänger", "Außenseiter". Im Newsletter von "www.yourdictionary.com" ist am 29.09.2001 eine etymologische Erklärung zu lesen. Der Eponymos ("der Namen gebende" Jahresbeamte eines altgriechischen Staates...) war der texanischer Viehzüchter (cattleman) "Samuel Maverick" (1803-1870), der seine nicht gebrandmarkten Rinder wild laufen ließ. Andere Rancher, die diese Tiere "adoptierten" nannten sie "mavericks".
named after a fictional cartoon character named Caspar Milquetoast, invented by the American illustrator Harold T Webster in 1924. The strip was called 'The Timid Soul'. Milquetoast geht zurück auf das ins französische übernommene 'milktoast'
Monroe-Doktrin, Monrovia (W3)
Natürlich ist man geneigt zunächst an Marilyn zu denken. Aber der Namensgeber dieser Doktrin ist 'James Monroe', der Präsident der USA (1817-1825). Dieser definierte den gesamten amerikanischen Kontinent als Interessensphäre der USA. Ursprünglich ging es dabei weniger um die Übermacht der Amerikaner auf dem amerikanischen Kontinent, sondern vor allem darum der Kolonisation durch europäische Mächte ein Ende zu bereiten. Im Gegenzug sollte sich die USA nicht in Angelegenheiten Europas einmischen.
Nach 'Monroe' wurde auch die Hauptstadt Liberias 'Monrovia' benannt. (s. 'Monrovia')
Morse code
Samuel Finley Breese Morse (born 1791 in Massachusetts, died in 1872 in New york) invited an alphabet of dots and dashes and a sytem of long and short pulses for transmitting letters of the alphabet and numbers.
This tool was developed just 4 fun. Although you could also use it to encrypt small texts. If you do so, remember that morsecode is an international standard and that makes this encryption method not really secure
Usage:Enter the text or morsecode into the corresponding (upper) box. The correct translation should appear in real time in the box below. If not, click the button "transform". ATTENTION:Spaces between the words in morsecode are symbolized with " & ". The letters in morsecode are seperated with normal spaces.
Captain Edward Murphy arbeitete 1949 bei der Californian Wrught Field-Aircrfat Laboratory. Ihm werden verschieden Kommentare zugeschrieben unter anderem die 1955 im "Aircraft Mechanics Bulletin" erschienene Aussage: "If an aircraft part can be installed incorrectly, somebody will install it that way."

Oprahzation
Oprahfication (W3)
"Oprahization" (1994), auch als einfacher auszusprechende Variante "Oprahzation" und "Oprahfication" (1993), bezeichnet die schonungslose Ausbreitung privater Angelegenheiten und Gefühle vor Publikum.
Die Bezeichnung "Oprahization" wurde zum Vornamen von "Oprah Winfrey", einer der bekanntesten Talkmasterinnen (ab 1985, "Oprah Winfrey Show") in den USA, gebildet. Der früheste Nachweis ist in den Denver Rocky Mountain News, vom 16. Januar 1994 dokumentiert: "The Oprahization of our culture — the astonishing propensity to tell all, even the most sacred, private things to an audience of strangers — has fueled the Bobbitt case. (Molly Mayfield, "The Bobbitt tragicomedy").
Der Name für die einstigen Luxus-Zug-Waggons (erste Version 1858) und die Pullmann-Limousinen geht auf Erfinder George Mortimer Pullmann zurück.

sideburns - die Koteletten
(E1)(L1) http://www.m-w.com/
hair growing on the side of the face in front of the ears (pronunciation: SYDE-bernz)
'Sideburns' started out as a name, but then people added a letter. Then they mixed-up the letters in the name to make a whole new word.
Ambrose Everett Burnside, a Union general during the U.S. Civil War, was a public figure well-known for the long bushy whiskers he wore down the sides of his face. Other men liked the look and began growing similar whiskers themselves. Such whiskers, which became the height of fashion in the U.S. in the 19th century, were originally called 'burnsides' after the general. By the late 1880s, though, someone rearranged the letters of 'burnsides' to turn it into 'sideburns' instead, and that new name stuck. (source: Merriam Webster)

bezeichnet die Prinzipien einer (wissenschaftlichen) Betriebsführung, die auf den Ingenieur Frederick Winslow TAYLOR (1856-1915) zurückgeführt werden. Dazu gehören die systematische Durchführung von Zeit- und Bewegungsstudien zur Ermittlung von Planvorgaben (z.B. für Akkordlohn) und zur optimalen Standardisierung von Arbeitsabläufen, eine möglichst weitgehende betriebliche Arbeitsteilung mit dem Ziel der Minimierung des Arbeitsinputs, der erforderlichen Qualifikationen und der Lohnkosten, die Trennung von Planung, Entscheidung und Ausführung sowie der zentralen Kontrolle der Arbeitsprozesse durch das Management und der direkten Kontrolle durch den Vorgesetzten."

The real McCoy (W3)
(E?)(L?) http://www.owad.de/check.php4?id=1490&choice=1&sid=1118209
Dieser Ausdruck entspricht dem dt. "der wahre Jakob". Er soll zurückgehen auf den amerikanischen Boxer mit dem Künstlernamen "Kid McCoy". - Aber nur einer ist "The real McCoy".
Allerdings findet man auch Hinweise auf mögliche andere Ursprünge des Ausdrucks.
One night a drunk man in a bar loudly insisted to the boxer Kid McCoy that he was not in fact the famous boxer. McCoy, by way of proof, knocked the man to the ground.
"It's the real McCoy," the man then remarked, struggling to his feet - and thereby giving birth to a common expression in the English language.
McCoy, Kid - born Norman Selby - (1872-1940) American boxer, welterweight world champion (1898)
Origin:
There is general agreement this phrase comes from the name of the American boxer Norman Selby, known as Kid McCoy, who was welterweight champion from 1898-1900.
Other theories include:
Elijah McCoy, who invented a machine to lubricate the moving parts of a railway locomotive.
A brand of fine whisky from 1856 onwards and which was promoted as 'the real MacKay' from 1870.
The real Macao, pure heroin imported from the Far East.

Tiffany, Charles Lewis, 1812-1902, American merchant, b. Killingly, Conn. He founded the famous jewelry firm of Tiffany and Company, New York City. His improvements in styles of silverware won wide recognition, and when in 1851 he introduced the English standard of sterling silver, the leading silversmiths in the United States followed his example. Much of his later life was devoted to studying and encouraging the fine arts.
Derjenige, der den Begriff "Tiffany" zum Markenartikel des Jugendstile gemacht hat war sein Sohn Louis Comfort Tiffany, (1848-1933), amerikanischer Maler und Kunsthandwerker.
... In 1885 Tiffany established his own firm and while he continued to undertake decorating commissions, his focus was on new methods of glass manufacture. ...
