Polluted Mindset 

Something that works it's way into your head and creates a false sense of security. Spending time worrying about things that could potentially keep you from reaching your goals.

Mike McCarthy, Head coach of the Green Bay Packers seemingly coined this phrase on 12/30/2010 when asked if his team would have a tendency to let down if the Bears decided to rest their players in the season finale vs. the Packers. He answered the question with ... "That's a "polluted mindset".
When you worry about whether the Chicago Bears will rest their starters in the season finale you run the risk of creating a "polluted mindset" among your team.

When you let a lot of outside influences enter your way of thinking it can create a "polluted mindset". Our football team is very excited to play. It's important for us to clearly stay focused on winning and playing the best that we possibly can for the whole game. It's as simple as that."

Polite Acquaintance Zone 

The proper place to consider an ex-lover after a bad break up. Should not be confused with the friend zone.
After she got over her anger about our break up, Nancy wanted to remain friends. But I think it's a better idea to keep her in my polite acquaintance zone.

The image is also associated with a series of photoshop exploitables featuring mock text message conversations between a landlord and a prospective renter. In the conversation, the landlord tells the renter that they do not allow pets. However, after the renter sends a picture of the pet, the landlord makes an exception, stating that the pet looks polite.

The word seems to have derived from a 100 ms sample of Muhammed Ali's "Rumble In The Jungle" speech taken out of context and used in the song Fushigi No Pokute!!
Pokute? tastes disgusting!
