Instigator

Someone who outdoors a kiss ass at what a kiss ass is known for, to the point it isn't called kissing ass with an instigator, its called pleasing or even claims of slavery by the instigator against the other person.

The one major difference between a kiss ass and an instigator is a kiss ass doesn't claim to be anybody's slave, despite doing things just as dehumanizing for other people. An instigator always says they do what they're doing to please other people, but thinks other people are the kiss asses, when really its all similar behavior.

Goliath

Sometimes you get a five foot nothing bully with the soul of a 9 foot 10 ogre, which is the same thing as goliath, except this kind of bully thinks everyone else is goliath.

Goliath keeps calling me goliath, when really he/she is trying to take over towns he/she isn't from like Napoleon.

Amusement park buddy

Somebody you go to the amusement park with.

Guy 1-You gonna take your amusement park buddy to the amusement park?
Guy 2- My amusement park buddy has already been on all the rides there 10 times. Amtrak doesn't offer the number of rides she's already been on, it's not just a rumor, its true. I'm not the only amusement park buddy of hers.
Guy 2-Boo, you're not the only one who's got to get rid of her.
Guy 1-She's got one less amusement park buddy, even if she's got all the amusement park buddys she needs already.

Critical moment

A lot of references to critical moments are made with sports. There are no critical moments in most sports games, somebody being in critical condition is a critical moment. Someone performing well under a lot of pressure where not many people would is a lot different than a critical moment.

The guy who helped his team win a ball game isn't really someone who didn't back down from a critical moment, he's just a guy that helped his team win, or didn't quit if they weren't winning, if a reference is made to a guy on a team that didn't win doing something in a critical moment.

112 pound weakling

Someone desperate to look fit and strong to the world, and like anything that isn't a poodle.

You gotta look deeper than the cute cuddly surface of the 112 pound weakling, don't underestimate the girl, she might or might not be all talk, if it really matters as much to anybody else as it does to her what people think of her.

Self conscious

Its one thing to self-conscious (most people are at least some of the time) about what people think of you, everything from what you look like to your abilities at different things. Its another thing to be desperate all the time to convince other people you never get embarrassed or self conscious and don't care what anybody thinks of you all to keep people around you so that you're never alone, because you hate being alone, and you know damn well you care more than most what people think of you.

There's nothing unusual about getting self-conscious, since even if you try to do everything perfect, its not gonna be perfect, and you're gonna do some human shit and you're not gonna feel proud of what you did. The most self conscious people in the world are the ones that keep telling you they don't care what anybody thinks of them.

Feudal system

Two guys that should not have lost their jobs that did are Cam Newton and Rob Rivera. Neither of these guys are inherently scared to take risks. It didn't take long for Ron Rivera to lose his job since ownership changed hands, Cam Newton must have felt like he was headed to a chopping block, which tends to fuck with a guys head a little. If a guy loves football and always has, he shouldn't allow someone else to take it away from him. Kids are taught that the feudal system ended hundreds of years ago, but if you take a look around, you know things don't work the way you're told they work.

The feudal system is still around, whether its obvious or its not.
