Originally coined by conservatives hoping to delegitimize leftist opinions, the regressive left is composed of the more negative aspects of far left political opinions, specifically in such a manner that frowns upon critical thinking in favor of dogmatic thinking. Train of thought most often associated with Social Justice Warriors. Opposite on the political spectrum from the Regressive Right.
Such examples include sexism against men by virtue of their gender, racism against white people by virtue of their skin color, granting power to minority candidates by virtue of their minority status, placing minority citizenship above majority citizenship as opposed to wanted them to be equal, Islamic apologetics, using privilege as a detriment of worth regardless of context, etc.

Some on the Regressive Left believe that black people are entitled to reparations from white people, regardless of personal history for either, because one person's ancestors wronged another person's ancestors.

a fallacy in which the argument proposes an explanation, but the mechanism proposed stands just as much in need of explanation as the original fact to be explained — and indeed it stands in need of the same kind of explanation. so it is tempting to apply the explanation to itself.
given the wordcosmological argument/word, the universe must have a beginning. the notion that the universe's origin came about by the random forming of particles in space, there must have been something to first put those particles there. whatever that something is, it must exist outside of time and always exist, lest you get into a series of arguments going further and further back until you have infinite regress.
example: the being 'linda' created all the particles that formed the earth, but who created linda? the being 'bill' created linda, but who created bill? etc. the argument goes on forever until there is a beginning, which was initially required according to the wordcosmological argument/word.

Betty is getting married again and she's wearing a white dress. She must have had an immaculate regression.

A malapropism often said in error by someone unfamiliar with statistics. The speaker likely means "logistic regression"(logit regression, or logit model)
"Logistical regression" is said by one trying to sound like a smart data scientist. Hearing this may trigger contempt for the speaker.

Happens mainly when you have just been told off/dissed/burned. This is a failed attempt to put some ice on that burn, or to insult them back. When you make a horrible come back that nobody gets or is just plain weak, making you look like even more of a fool.
Max: "We're out of butter"
Erik: "That's okay we can just use your girlfriends face"
Max: "Yeah... Well... Your socks are slightly dirty"
(complete silence)
Erik: "That was stupid"

Micah: "What was that Max?"
Max: "I don't know dude minced regression"

No, the other guy is wrong. The term regressive party may refer to something lame and boring like that, but it is also popularized by Maddox, and the one stance of the regressive party is that they are "Against Abortion, For Killing Babies."
The regressive party is awesome, because I've always hated babies and like to daydream about drowning them in puppy blood - maybe kitten blood, if no puppies are available.
