What is corporate America?

The voice that you use with customers/clients in the workplace. It's always amicable, with heavy use of upward inflections. The term was coined by Donnell Rawlings in his comedy act "From Ashy to Classy".

Say you work at a pizza place, and you're pissed off. Then a customer calls. Despite your anger, you will talk to that customer with an upward inflection, kiss their ass, and be almost overly friendly. The call ends. You've just utilized your corporate america voice. You can now go back to being grouchy, saying mean things about the customers who deserve it, and swearing profusely.

Somebody who works nine to five in a suit and tie and only does it because they get paid.

What does "corporate America" mean?

Quanta's debut album, and a song by the same name. The album attacks capitalism and Mr. Bush, along with corporate America (no surprise there), the electoral college, and the two-party system. Also attacks the many dumb Americans who don't question authority and those who believe everything they hear. Songs range from hillarious (Salute, Oxymoron, Letters, Doodle) to serious (Corporate America, American Dream My Ass, Last One Picked)to sad (Dream Come False, Falling Down, Last One Picked is sad too.) The album has good songs to listen to no matter what mood you're in.

This is America

This is fucking America
