Schadencarde

The feeling of looking at your second card in Holdem poker, which is something low and offsuit, after peeling the first card, which is an ace, or sometimes a king.
I peeled the ace of spades after an OMC opened, and felt such schadencarde when the other card was the six of clubs.

Politician's thumb

The way a politician holds their hand in a first with their thumb used as the pointer, because focus groups said that using a finger was too aggressive.

Originally pioneered by Barack Obama, and used by most politicians since then who don't want to be seen as overly aggressive.
Did you see the rendition of Nikki Haley in the SNL episode of the Republican presidential candidates debate? She nailed the politician's thumb.

My boss entrusted me with this huge strategic project, but then he watched over my shoulder to suggest how to optimise the colours in the weekly update email. It was total weedership.

Bob: I prefer to use X instead of Y, because they have fewer Nazis on the platform.
Jo: They used to, but there was an arbitrage of deplorables, and now they've got the local white nationalist cult using them.
