Grassroots Style
(gras'-roots sti'-ul)

adjective--something that is done grassroots style is something that nobody cares about but for some reason I don't stop saying it. Usually its something that is actually funny, and in these cases maybe 2 other people would care about it. Anything labeled as grassroots style is probably not something that you would bother mentioning on a college application or job resumé.

I'm going to make grassroots style an actual description, and I'll do it grassroots style!!"

Tea Party Patriots Official American Grassroots Movement
A corporate-funded astroturf campaign disguised as a grass roots movement. A movement who's main objective is to further enrich the top 1% through various subversive means such as cutting the top tax rate (which is already the lowest it's been since the 1920s), and which has little agenda otherwise.

The Tea Party Patriots Official American Grassroots Movement is actually just a disingenuous attempt by the billionaire Koch brothers and Fox News to shift the country's economic policy further in favor of wealthy, powerful elites, ignoring the fact that such policies under George Dubya led to the Great Recession.
