devil-worship
son: is using rats in medical research in clinical and lab settings considered devil-worship?
father: to the people who are passionately obsessed with animal rights, yes; to most of the civilian population and to the Unforgivables no. the Unforgivables don't care because they are there to protect business and private property, and medical research facilities are operated, maybe even owned by big pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer. The civilian population doesn't seem to care because medical research has done more good than evil. If you want to know more, go take a medical ethics course at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

weather grandpa
(or grandma if referring to a girl): an offensive term for a person who is always quetching about, as the name suggests, about the weather.
N.B: this term was named based my personal observation that it's mostly old grumpy grandmas and grandpas that quetch about the weather.

everybody hates a weather grandpa, especially when the person doing the complaining is under 40 of age and is driving everyone around them nuts.
