Transformer

What people who try to change everything and everyone must think they are.

Start by concerning yourself with what you want to change about yourself if you're going to change anything at all (most of the world should be good enough the way it is without your need to do something to make it what you think it should be, or make people what you think they should be). You're not a transformer.

Gray area

The area between black and white.

Some people don't want a gray area to be allowed, they just want everything that isn't green to be blue, blue chips.

Eastland Mall

Eastland Mall wasn't lost due to lack of appreciation, people did love going there. It was lost because someone knew people loved going there.

Eastland Mall wasn't lost because peole didn't love it enough, as some people would try to suggest.

Chicago bears

A more entertaining football club than the New Orleans Saints (even if they lost the game).

The goody two shoes Saints were crying about cheap shots after getting hit twice by the Chicago Bears. A saint just doesn't have the same effect on an opponent as a bear, a player pulling out a crucifix and telling an opponent they will burn in hell for what they did doesnt have the same effect on somebody as hitting them twice, even if they were sucker punches in the helmet.

Time clock

Something players and most people wouldn't catch since they are focused on scoring.

Hardly anybody, if anybody, noticed the time clock was off.

Mollycoddle

A weak guy/girl. A mollycoddle keeps on telling the world that they are strong, or that the group they're a part of is strong, to the point that most other people would be considered braggarts if they did the same thing.

The mollycoddle talks about being strong, but never tells you about backstabbing people that knew him/her, whining about not getting something he/she were sure they deserved, or the world he/she retreats and hides from when he/she considers it scary.

Brooklyn center

A suburb of Minneapolis. The police were in suburb when Daunte Wright was killed, and there are black people who live in the suburbs, small towns, or even out in the country, and white people who live in cities, so it's not as much a matter of where they were when it happened as it was a matter of someone they don't think of as looking like them that seems to effect the way the police woud act around two different people if one were white and one were black. The guy might look somewhat like a human to them, but he has weird hair, skin, and eyes, so they don't trust him entirely the way they might trust a guy with hair, skin, or eyes closer to the way theirs look. A guy that looks more like them wouldn't seem as crazy to them.

Brooklyn center is a suburb, and the olice still weren't acting the way somebody might think police would act in a suburb when Daunte Wright was killed. It had nothing to do with where they were, but with what the guy looked like.
