A defense strategy where one seeks to extricate oneself from a bad situation by claiming to be innocent by (a usually absurd) technicality. Named for former US president Bill Clinton, who popularized this strategy in the 1990s with his creative explanations for how he didn't actually smoke weed because he didn't "inhale", and most infamously, how he didn't technically lie when he said there is no sexual relationship with Monica Lewinsky because "it depends on what the definition of "is" is."
Person 1: I just read an article about how Senator Rob Johnson claimed he didn't technically commit a crime by being involved in a plot to replace legitimate Electoral College electors with fraudulent ones in the 2020 election, because he was only involved for "a couple seconds"...
Person 2: A Republican using the Bill Clinton Gambit? Oh the sweet irony.

Get the Bill Clinton Gambit mug.Three days ago. Formed by the compound of yesterday + ere (1 day before) + ante (1 day before that). Theoretically, this process can be continued to formulate as many days back as you wish by simply adding more ere, ante, or another synonym, such as fore. Compare with:
Anteereyestermorn - three mornings ago
Anteereystereve - three evenings ago
Foreanteereyesterday - four days ago
Ereyesterday - two days ago
Overmorrow - two days from now
Overovermorrow - three days from now
Anteereyestermorn - three mornings ago

Get the Anteereyesterday mug.The Gridiron Football team formerly known as the Washington Redskins. Also known by their initials, WTF.

However, ♭ can also be used as a general replacement for the word “flat” in writing (it is always pronounced “flat”, in spite of its resemblance to “b”), much like & can substitute for “and”, or @ can stand in for “at”.

Get the ♭ mug.A misnomer that exists only because we have yet to come up with words that adequately describe the guiding philosophy of the 45th occupant of the White House (because there is none).
Whereas his predecessors to varying degrees all synthesized the doctrines of their forebears with their own to create unique views on the responsibilities of the presidency, the 45th occupant’s only guiding principle appeared to be self-preservation at all costs.
The term “Trumpism” implies that there is some fundamental moral framework or coherent school of thought. It places it on the same level as other, far more respected ideologies, when in reality there is no comparison.

I would not want to be the person responsible for writing the history textbooks that have to explain to our kids what the utterly vapid, egocentric and morally vacant “philosophy” of Trumpism was

Get the Trumpism mug.1. Not the game. The game may be unfair, but it is unfair for everybody. it is not the fault of the game that humans are infinitely fallible creatures who will seek to take advantage of its loopholes at every opportunity. Every person has a choice whether to engage in ethical behavior or not. One can take the easy way out, but there are no free passes for doing so.
2. If certain people have advantages, it still does not give them the right to abuse them. As a society, we have responsibilities to each other, to lift each other up rather than tear each other down. At heart, we are all capable of good, but too often we choose to see things in a zero-sum, win-lose dichotomy where the only thing that matters is getting ahead, and blaming the system is a convenient out. Using the system as an excuse is like saying the system allows us to buy guns, therefore you can’t be held responsible for murdering someone.
3. Your anger at a certain person for cheating or otherwise engaging in unscrupulous or immoral behavior is totally justified. Do not take it lying down, and don’t let them make excuses, you are worth far more than that.
4. Inversion of the popular idiom “Don’t hate the player, hate the game”.

People always tell me to hate the game, but the game didn’t wrong me, the game didn’t force people to do anything but exercise their own ethical judgement. Therefore, I reserve my right to hate the player.
