Unbearable

Describing somebody as unbearable doesn't make them unbearable to be around, the same way describing an Italian as an Antarctican doesn't make the guy from Antartica.

Pretending somebody is unbearable doesn't really make them unbearable. It's a lot like an ostrich hiding it's head and thinking that makes it's head invisible, when its not really invisible.

Officer Big daddy

The kind of guy who thinks he's protecting someone from someone else with a knife by shooting them, rather than disarming them. Shooting is quicker, and there is less risk of injury to the officer involved, but it's also irreversible to the person getting shot and to their family.

There is no easy way to keep somebody who really wants to cut somebody up from doing it, but Officer Big Daddy does have more options than one, even if he doesn't like the hard ones that go with wearing a badge. If you really don't want to have to do anything physically hard at a time you least want to, there really are other jobs you won't endanger people at by making split second decisions that take a life, and assuming that it was always the right move.

Transformer

Someone who believes that anybody and everybody's heart can/should be softened and turned into their kind of guy.

The transformer girl is not gonna let it go on the attempts to turn the other person into a more soft-hearted, spiritual version of what they actually are. She will keep trying everything, insisting that there's a hidden weakness somewhere to take advantage of.

Empty minded

Someone who thinks nobody would try to capitalize (take advantage of) on a perceived weakness.

The empty minded guy from California thought he never met an enemy.

Enemies

Knowing who common enemies are can be more helpful than looking for common ground with other people.

There is no common ground between you and your enemies, and they don't want you to wake up and fight, they want you to wake up and compromise/follow orders.

Art institute

Something you won't have an interest in tomorrow if you didn't today.

The girl tried to change him by sending him to the art institute and had no luck, he wasn't going to change, or develop an interest in the art institute.

Moron

Someone who hates a statue because everyone wants to remove it, or because the media says it's divisive, rather than for their own reasons.

Thanks to the moron, there was no more statue, since nothing that might offend anyone could be left in the park. The park now had to be politically correct and compliant.
