Hypocrisy

Expecting someone you've been stealing from for years to love, praise and respect you is hypocrisy since they don't owe you any of that.

He/she expected everyone to follow his/her bullshit rules after taking all their money, and expected them all to be in a mood to celebrate, what's a worse hypocrisy than that?

Balance

Balance is not moving a Confederate statue somewhere nobody will argue over it and keeping it hidden, like an ostrich head. Balance is a Martin Luther King statue here in your face, and right next to it is a Confederate statue in your face, whether you like it or not. It's not compromising everything to get along, since that's a good way to end up fucked by the people trying to get you to compromise (and lose) everything.

Balance is not always pretty or peaceful, and it isn't meant to be that way.

Poser

A person who takes a picture with a group of people so they don't look narcissistic in the picture is a poser.

Photogenic poser-Look, there's seven other faces in the photo with mine, we're not narcissistic are we?

Outdoer

An outdoer claims to be more everything than the apex of the apex of any animal. Another word for an outdoer is an overachiever.

The guy from the gym stopped a bus with his body to keep a kid from getting hit. Another guy saw this happen, so he decided he had to inform three bus drivers that three groups of kids were crossing three different streets so that he saved more of them without ending up in the hospital or breaking a sweat. The second guy was an outdoer, an outthinker, an overachiever.

Unique

When you've traveled to almost everywhere in your state and can't find a sternwheeler to ride on, and you realize you have to take a trip to the mississippi river to get on one, you know how a sternwheeler can be a unique thing to have. But you don't know until its gone usually.

It's a good thing you like to travel, since all the unique things to do are out of state or overseas now.

Plain

Something that makes even the most traditional things seem exciting.

The kids were glad they didnt get plain old tin pails for Christmas, even if Christmas was traditional, and seemed like the same thing every year.

Stereotype

To say a stereotype is false is as misleading as saying a stereotype is true for everybody.

Though not every Jew was born with money or knows how to bargain with people, there's been a lot of Jews who made a lot of money that way, people know Jews for knowing how to make money, even if not all Jews have a lot of money. Some are embarrassed, some are offended, but it doesn't change anything. The stereotype isn't entirely true or entirely false.
