McDonalds

A restaurant chain that people who willingly stand for the national anthem at American basketball games eat at.

Can you believe it, Earl? If our team wins the basketball game, McDonalds will give out free french fries for showing our game tickets at the drive thru window! I'm sure proud to be an American!

Capitalism

A system of government where only the wealthy are allowed to have a say in political matters. You're basically paying to rent the talking stick for a while, but the policies on how even that works are vague and flowery at best.

I love capitalism! It allows me, as a rich middle-aged white man, to come together with like-minded entrepreneurs and develop a system that truly benefits us. God bless America!

Good Source Of Vitamins

A term for any article of food, typically snack foods, that has a significant amount of sugar in it, around 50% your daily value's sugar per serving size.

Upon the box of poptarts read a small but prevalent line of text at the front: "good source of vitamins and minerals!" A simple tactic to distract careless buyers from daring to read the nutrition facts on the back and find the dark secrets buried just below the surface...

Compound Acronym

An acronym where each letter is used in a more creative manner to express more meaning than a simpler letter-for-word acronym would enable.

BDSM is technically an acronym, but not a traditional letter-for-word acronym like "TSA" or "LMAO". Instead, the term BDSM acts as a compound acronym. It stands for "Bondage and Discipline, Domination and Submission, Sadism and Masochism". If that term were expressed as a conventional acronym, it would be written out as "BDDSSM", and so consolidating the redundant letters of the acronym and expressing the term as a compound acronym, "BDSM", makes for a term that is far easier to say.

The bread pudding effect

When you make a recipe for your friends or family that turns out a bit *too* good. They then associate you with said recipe and insistently demand that you make it for them at as many special occasions as possible. It can become very annoying very quickly.

Named after a dessert called bread pudding, praised for its simplicity and incredible flavor.

1: "UUGHHH! I hate the bread pudding effect!"
2: "Uh... what?"
1: "I made some bread pudding for my sister's birthday party last week. It turned out incredibly well, but now it's all she ever talks about with me! She keeps asking me to make more of it for her and asking me to bring some to more events and... ugh, it's so annoying."
2: "Bread pudding is indeed really quite nice! Ya know... you could probably persuade her to pay you for more of it in the future."
1: "That-- ...that's not a bad idea, actually. Hm!"
