Used to disparage your affiliation with someone making a complete jackass out of himself. In college it almost always means “come pick up your drunk friend who can’t handle his liquor and is about to get his ass kicked, drive home drunk, or in some other way embarrass you and your fraternity.” Can also be applied during adulthood to mock your association with someone woefully unqualified claiming to be with your organization or institution.
Hey Stanford, come get your boy Dr. Scott Atlas, the radiologist (glorified X-ray Tech but with MRIs) directing Coronavirus policy in the United States. He’s on Fox News every day saying dumb shit like masks don’t work and everyone should catch COVID. He still claims to be with the Hoover Institution.

How Mike Pence describes Donald Trump.
“President Trump is wrong. I had no right to overturn the election. The Presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone, and frankly there is no idea more UnAmerican than the notion that any one person can choose the American President.”

There is no Iran war plan. In fact, there is no document. I guess you could say it was bravado. I’m a legitimate person.

A word spoken and written that conveys one’s relative lack of education and susceptibility to groupthink. Relevancy conveys no meaning beyond the properly used “relevance.” This word has quietly and hideously made its way into otherwise semi-intelligent settings like tech companies and advertising agencies within the last decade.
The relevancy of this film cannot be overstated, but my intelligence can be. “The relevance of this film...is timeless” would be the proper form of this word, with zero meaning lost.

The minimum amount required to play a hand of poker. Also, the minimum amount of effort your lazy ass needs to expend to compete at work, in relationships and basically all facets of life.

Exhibiting behavior consistent with a father looking after his children. Hopefully that would include things like being protective, supportive and providing for them. Can also be applied to non-family situations, such as a sugar daddy providing for his hot mess of a girlfriend.
Not trying to be paternalistic, but I went ahead and filled up your car. Didn't want you to break down again.

A Supreme Court of the United States that has abandoned any and all tethering to the rule of law. As opposed to an "activist court", a pejorative term coined by the Republican Party to describe Supreme Court justices who interpret law based on precedent, law and the Constitution as opposed to say...the Bible, a runaway SCOTUS features unelected justices tossing overboard whatever mumblings they uttered about "Stare Decisis" (“to stand by things decided) during confirmation, and just makes shit up as they go.
• 50 year precedent of Roe vs. Wade? "Meh...we know best what women want."
• ATF (firearm experts) determined bump stocks turn semi-automatic rifles into machine guns? "Well I'm Samuel Alito and that makes my wife sad, so no."
• 250 year precedent of "No man is above the law"? "We think Trump might win, so let's make him King."
• People with degrees in meteorology should oversee the National Weather Service? "We can look outside, too."
• Is "Insurrection" bad? Well...we have two insurrection-adjacent wives, so that's awkward. "Let's make it not bad."
• ProPublica keeps writing about Alito and Thomas taking bribes like it's a bad thing. "Let's just legalize it."

We have a runaway SCOTUS that is ignoring historical precedent, citing witch trials as case law and legalizing bribing the judiciary.
