They were great when they did “A Horse with No Name”. And they were great when they did “Tin Man”, “Ventura Highway” and “Sister Golden Hair”. But they started to slip, and they haven’t really done anything worth noticing since “You Can Do Magic”. So I say, yes, let’s make America great again.
v. grat•ed, grat•ing. v.i.1. to have an irritating effect: His chatter grates on my nerves.2. to make a sound of rough scraping.3. to sound harshly; jar: to grate on the ear.4. to rub with rough or noisy friction.v.t.5. to reduce to small particles by rubbing against a rough surface or a surface with many sharp-edged openings: to grate a carrot.6. to rub together with a harsh sound: to grate one’s teeth.7. to irritate; annoy.8. Archaic. to abrade. Yes ,that guy did and the process continues
Considering how often Americans say that “America is the greatest country in the world”, it’s kinda interesting that they elected a president who’s campaign slogan claimed that America isn’t great.
You would think this would have been an easy thing to call Trump on when he first started using it. The problem was, everyone thought he was a joke candidate and did not take him seriously until it was too late.
When I grate cheese by hand, it usually raises the protein content due to the addition of small quantities of blood and occasionally a tiny bit of epidermis.

So, when it gets clogged up, does that make the cheese an ingrate?
