zero tolerance

To react to a proscribed activity or substance with absolute prejudice... Without regard to mitigating circumstances or conditions.
I don't care if you've got glaucoma, we have a zero tolerance policy to drugs, including marijuana.

We will react to sexism and racism with zero tolerance.

all before lunch

A qualifying phrase intended to illustrate that someone has done a great deal in a short time... i.e: between the hours of 9 and 12, the shorter "half" of the workday.

Used sarcastically, sort of a "that's it?" illustrator.
I've researched the Abraham case on WestLaw and Lexis, ordered new office software for the front desk, sat three new client consultations, run to the courthouse and filed our motions, and had my oil changed on the way back, all before lunch.

Sarcastically: Hey, I called the office supplies place and ordered the pens you asked for. "Wow... All that before lunch?"

Activist Judge

Any judge who interprets the law in a way that recognizes and guarantees someone else constitutional or legal rights in a manner of which you don't approve.

An "activist judge" is a judge who petulantly refuses make everyone else live under the rules of -your- religion.
How dare those Activist Judges suggest that homosexuals are people, too!?! The constitution clearly says that it protects all people -except- people who are different from me... Wait a second. Where's my pencil...?

The constitution says "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." Note that it doesn't say "heterosexual, white, christian person". There are no 'activist judges'.

by proxy

A Proxy is the authority to represent another person or entity... Especially in the capacity of voting issues, such as on a board of directors.

This authority can be granted willingly, (as in the case of someone who cannot attend a meeting sending another to vote in her place) or unwillingly (such as in the case of a parent's authority over the affairs of a child. It can be granted with or without limitation ("Go to the meeting and vote yes on the takeover, for all my shares." or "The Executor is granted any and all reasonable powers necesary to manage and maintain the estate of Jonh, while he is in his coma.")

A parent, for instance, holds an automatic right of proxy in certain interests of her child. The child need not and cannot make decisions not granted her by her parent, because the parent has the legal authority to make those decisions for the child.

When something is done or decided by proxy, it means the actual effort of action, and sometimes the decision, was made by someone else.
Jennifer will hold my proxy for all voting issues that arise during the course of this series of meetings... Because I'm going to Aruba!

Fuquetarde

A variant of "fucktard" used when the fucktard in question is a fucktard of such substantial style, grace, and magnitude that the mere common appellation "fucktard" will no longer suffice to describe him, her, or them.

Fucktard raised to a higher power, or distilled to a more refined purity.
One: Look here... It quotes this congressman as saying global warming can't be a threat because the Bible's book of Genesis promises that god won't destroy the world again. What a fucktard.
Two: No, no... That man there is a bona fide hyper-dongtastic Grand Poobah Fuquetarde.

large car

A Class 8 heavy commercial truck, also known as a tractor, "big rig", or "semi" (for the semi-trailers they haul).... Especially a nice, customized, or "tricked out" example of the conventional, or "long-nose" variety.
