booger in the nose of progress

anything that impedes positive social or organizational evolution; a hindrance to social progress

the constant infighting over America's alleged role as world policeman is a booger in the nose of progress

getting bogged down in logistics and semantic quibbles instead of seeking true consensus is a booger in the nose of progress; can't we just lay our differences aside and find common ground in our shared interests?

we all live on one fragile planet: this quibbling about economics while our world dies is a booger in the nose of progress!

putz

An epithet which, applied to a person, dehumanizes hir as an obstacle...something in the way...a hindrance (to one's progress).

I made this word up circa 1978(it SOUNDS Yiddish but it's not!). It began as "putts", iow, people in traffic ahead of me who were just "puttin'" along in their slow-assed cars.

"Come on, ya putz! Move yer ass! I'm late for work here!"
