Untrue. We wouldn't want any of it. Except maybe the Great lakes. Even as fucked up as you have made them.

The map is showing you what country they are closest to. Not a fantasy of if you wake up with balls could you beat the US with 4 of your closest friends. You couldn't.

The phrase’s origins can be traced to Shakespeare’s work entitled Merchant of Venice in 1605. The correct form bate was used in bated breath, saying:

Shall I bend low and in a bondman’s key,

With bated breath and whispering humbleness, Say this;

‘Fair sir, you spit on me on Wednesday last;

You spurn’d me such a day; another time

You call’d me dog; and for these courtesies

I’ll lend you thus much moneys?

Before Shakespeare’s use of these kinds of phrases, bate had two meanings. First, it used to be a verb in falconry. Second, it was the threat of a sharp rapier.

The correct form of the English expression is bated breath. The dictionary defines this idiom as a nervous or excited state anticipating what will happen.

The expression under discussion has become controversial because of its misuse in Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling wrote in the Prisoner of Azkaban: “The whole common room listened with baited breath.”

Both bated and baited are correct spellings with different meanings.

[Charliesheen]

“The process of mass-media deception has to be conscious, or it would not be carried out with sufficient precision, but it also has to be unconscious, or it would bring with it a feeling of falsity and hence of guilt…. To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies all this is indispensably necessary.” – George Orwell
