WHITE ANGLO-SAXON PROTESTANT (WASP)
White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) is an informal, sometimes disparaging term for a closed social group of high-status and influential white Americans of English Protestant
ancestry. It is also sometimes applied to those of Scottish Protestant
and Irish Protestant ancestry. The term applies to a group who control
disproportionate financial, political and social power in the United
States.
Scholars agree that the group's influence has waned since the end of
World War II in 1945, with the growing influence of other ethnic groups. The term is also used in Australia and Canada for similar elites. The term is occasionally used by sociologists to include all Americans of Northern European ancestry regardless of their class or power. People rarely call themselves WASPs, except humorously. The acronym is typically used by non-WASPs.
SUPER TUESDAY
In the United States, Super Tuesday, in general, refers informally to one or more Tuesdays early in a United States presidential primary season when the greatest number of U.S. states hold primary elections and caucuses. More delegates to the presidential nominating conventions
can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the primary
calendar. Since Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses are typically held
in a large number of states from geographically and socially diverse
regions of the country, it typically represents a presidential
candidate's first test of national electability. Thus, candidates
seeking the presidency traditionally must do well on this day to help
secure their party's nomination. In fact, convincing wins in Super
Tuesday primaries have usually propelled candidates to their party's
nomination. Super Tuesday is in either February or March of the presidential election year. During the 2016 election year, Super Tuesday was held on March 1.
YOLO
YOLO is an acronym for "you only live once". Similar to Latin "carpe diem"
("seize the day"), it implies that one should enjoy life, even if that
entails taking risks, as if there would not be another chance for it.
The phrase and acronym are both used in youth culture and music, and were both popularized by the 2011 song "The Motto" by rapper Drake.
The President of the United States Barack Obama say "YOLO" use selfie stick.
