square 

(n). Someone who lives in fear of rules that they won't attempt to understand.

My boss is such a square, doesn't make any decisions, that you'd think his job was to relay his own orders from above and I feel like rather going to his boss for help.

Ted Cruz hire 

(n.) An employee who nobody likes to work with, nobody enjoys to be around but for whatever reason one or a few very powerful people want them there anyway.

Well, the Ted Cruz hire finally got caught stealing from the employee fridge but even then nothing will be done about it.

cheesing 

To gain advantage against another player in a video game without necessarily cheating, but by relying on cheap tricks (eg. relying on the easiest weapons to use, relying on methods that avoid confrontation rather than engaging, relying on spawn camping, etc.) and basically doing their best to win without really applying any gameplay skill. Usually conducted by players who expect to lose a direct competition.

"Stop cheesing, noob! You know your only kills on me have all been blind grenades!"

Batman's Bedtime 

Dawn, when the night is over and it's time to crash.

We had no idea how long we were talking and then now here we find that it's Batman's Bedtime, so we called it a night.

Alpha 

A person who doesn't handle failure well. Instead of recognizing one's limitations to take an effort to grow oneself, this "alpha" copes with their limitations by adopting a foolish value system that is based on the observations of David L. Mech of wolves (not "African dogs", wolves) in captivity. He has since denounced that his discoveries applies to humans, because humans -- outside of prison -- do not live in captivity. In the wild, this same species of wolves have only the parent/child paradigm rather than this "alpha" crap that insecure men have adopted like it's their DC/Marvel comics super power, when their only "super power" is denial of the truth.

Therefore, an alpha is a person who does not handle failure well.

"I knew that you called yourself 'alpha' when you were rude to your waitress."

American conservatism

A political movement whose only uniting principle is an unwillingness to believe that humans are capable of being concerned for someone other than themselves. Typical of moral cowards, they begin with preferable, comforting conclusions before deciding on how to frame an issue to fit that conclusion, if they aren't merely accepting these instructions from Fox News, AM talk radio, shock/cringe message boards, etc.

See also: psychopathy.

Who knew that those affiliated with American conservatism has such a history of corruption and dodging of accountability as a basis for policy? Ex. Their response to ramped defense spending in response to 9/11 was to cut taxes for the rich.
