Do as I say, not as I do 

A phrase that literally means "I am a hypocrite, but you should still obey me." It is commonly used to mock someone (usually a politician, but can actually be anyone) displaying utter hypocrisy of any kind.
California Governor Gavin Newsom tries to mandate masks in the state. Later, he was seen sitting at a restaurant table with eleven people. Every single one of those eleven people -- Newsom included -- was NOT wearing a mask.

"Do as I say, not as I do" he said, effectively sweeping it under the rug.

Norman Mailer 

Answering a question extremely quickly, especially a rather difficult one.

The term is named after the author himself, as well as an absolutely golden moment during Meredith Viera's time as the host of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", where a contestant phoned a friend for $250,000, and said friend instantly told him the correct answer - Norman Mailer.
Contestant: "Bob, in 1960, what author stabbed his second wife, Adele, with a pen knife during an argument at a party?"

Bob (before contestant even reads any of the choices): Norman Mailer!

*Audience cheers*

(A few moments later, contestant locks in Norman Mailer and gets it right)

Gordon Lightfoot 

Gordon Meredith Lightfoot, Jr. (Yes...his middle name is Meredith) is a Canadian songwriter born in 1938.

He is arguably most known for his song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", a song/story about what happened in that horrible tragedy. Some of his other well-known songs include "Sundown", "Black Day in July", "Early Morning Rain" and many more.

Lightfoot has been having many health issues since 2002, and was even the victim of a death hoax in 2010. However the 81-year-old singer continues to perform to this day.
Gordon Lightfoot must have lied that he doesn't have a middle name a lot throughout his life...I certainly would if my middle name was a female name.

Affront to the Ears 

A ridiculously irritating sound.
My mother's voice is an affront to the ears.

December 16 

The worst day to have your birthday on, according to researchers.

Most of us would say the worst day to have a birthday is December 20-31, but it's not. Funny how that works.
Beethoven's birthday was December 16, the worst birthday ever. Poor guy must have been miserable.

Covered Up 

When the cover of a song is better than the original.
Ray Charles completely covered up John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads".

Mitt RINO 

Mitt Romney's real name.

It actually isn't...but being a Republican-In-Name-Only (RINO) politician, it fits him better.
"Hey, ya wanna see Mitt Romney naked?"

"Umm..."

"Here it is!" *Shows a picture of a rhinoceros* "I call it Mitt RINO!"
