Pat Tillman

An NFL player who went to war in Afghanistan before everyone who realized what a disaster it would be, and then died in a pointless friendly fire incident; a man of great courage and conviction, and very little faith.

"Is it true Pat Tillman was an atheist?"
"Well, he didn't go to church, but even if he was, does that make him any less of an American hero?

manpurse

A bag carried by a man to hold his stuff. Some people consider it a little effeminate, others don't really care. The ones who don't care are usually the ones who actually have a manpurse.

Well, yeah, I do carry a frame pack around with me almost everywhere I go. It's my manpurse.

vein opener

A song, story, or other work of art so abjectly depressing that it makes you want to hide all the sharp objects.

I don't know what I was thinking when I decided to put Paula Cole's classic 90s vein opener "Where Have All The Cowboys Gone?" on a mix for listening to in the car. Totally inappropriate.

Doreknob

A fan of pseudoleftist podcaster and “comedian” Jimmy Dore. Usually totally insufferable. Claims to be leftist, but supports Trump and Putin. Probably a tankie. Most likely the burned out husk of a BernieBro.

Doreknobs love saying “I didn’t leave the left; the left left me.” It’s true; the left doesn’t generally have room for delusional fascist simps.

inessential

Used of a work of art, a production that adds nothing of interest to the creator's portfolio. Does not necessarily imply that the work is bad per se, though mediocrity at best is often assumed. Often only of interest to fanboys and completists.

U2's most inessential work has got to be Pop.

whackabiscuit

Premade, refrigerated biscuit dough in a cardboard can. So called because if you unwrap the can, you sometimes have to whack the side of it on the counter for it to open. Pricewise, at ~$2 for a 4-pack, they're the bread equivalent of instant ramen.

You aren't seriously thinking you're going to impress her with Prego and whackabiscuits, are you? Would you at least make one thing that doesn't come out of a can?
