"Precedent"

It's how Democrats create new "laws" without passing laws.

My pet peeve is “stakeholders” because nobody who uses that word has ever used a mallet to pound a stake into the ground.

They are bureaucratic fakes, usually affirmative action types.

“Red Cross and Salvation Army are two different things.”

So you were OK when TPTB at Salvation Army sent a company-wide memo to staff telling them to apologize for their whiteness about 6 yrs ago?

Nope.

Just pointing out they are not the same organization.

Lots of people seem to think they are. Don't understand why but it seems to be true.

Red Cross, blood and charity. Used to do a decent job with the blood, not so great with the charity.

Salvation Army, Church and charity, used to do a decent job with the charity, not so great as a church.

Both have gone down hill in the past 20 years and are currently not doing such a great job with either of their missions.

I can’t believe I’m commenting on this thread.

One-night stand / It’s likely neither party was standing for very long.
One nightstand is usually half of a matching pair.

“Soft landing” of the economy

Pressing your hot buttons
Press 1 for English.
Your call is very important to us.

At this house we believe . . . hollow virtue signals.

Award-winning
Industry leader
Secret sauce
The whole enchilada

Person of color
I’m a person of color – mostly pink, with occasional shades of light tan in summer.

Correct me if I’m wrong. / Arrogant challenge
Really? / No, I’m an intransigent liar.

Expect Delays [frequently displayed on electronic traffic signs] / Ya think?

Referring to a[n often corrupt] judge: Your Honor (like Your Majesty)

In real estate: coveted location / Thou Shalt Not Covet!

Moar annoying phrases & language twists.
——

Roll your eyes.

Saying the quiet part out loud.
Euphemism. Should be: Divulging the real agenda / intent / motive behind the despicable plan or action.

Very unique
Unique is binary. A thing is either unique or it’s not. There are no degrees of uniqueness.

Playing the [minority / race / victim] card.
Demanding special privileges / rights / treatments for your oppressed group.

Capitalizing Black as an adjective when referring to humans.
Black Swan Event / usage is OK, but the phrase has become overused.
