Don't listen to those water nibblers worrying about calories, just eat sensibly and get some exercise.

Get the water nibblermug. Expression used of someone who has met a sad end in fact or fiction. After a line from Hannibal Lecter in Thomas Harris's "The Silence of the Lambs", on the subject of Benjamin Raspail. Lecter had Raspail over for dinner and later commented, "Best thing for him, really. His therapy was going nowhere."
He jumped off a cliff and blew himself up with a bellyful of dynamite halfway down. Best thing for him, really. His therapy was going nowhere.

Get the his therapy was going nowheremug. Horrific message often found when listening to Beatles albums played backwards. "Tea" and "sugar" obviously have multiple unspeakably depraved meanings. (How do you play them backwards, by the way? I've never managed to do it!)
On hearing that bit where gnis seltaeB eht Pass the tea, please, where's the sugar?:
Ohhh NOOOOOOOOOO, it's super teatime AGAIN, hide the kiddies!!!

Get the Pass the tea, please, where's the sugar?mug. Mealy-mouthed attempt at getting people to avoid superficial expressions of bigotry, which ends up debasing the language without dealing with the stupidity underlying most hates and fears. Merely ends up giving the bigots one more thing to snarl at and, yes, it really can impose a tyranny of its own. Many examples of allegedly common politically correct speech are urban myths ... which we could still have done without.
Some (real and imaginary) examples of political correctness:
You're not black (in the USA), you're African-American.
(As Whoopi Goldberg once commented, and I may be paraphrasing, "My ancestors didn't come through generations of the slave trade and the Civil Rights movement to end up hyphenated.")
You're not crippled, you're differently abled.
You're not a member of the Undead, you are biometrically challenged.
You're not an android, you are an artificial person.

Get the Political correctnessmug. 1. Officially the outermost major planet in the solar system after the demotion of Pluto to dwarf planet status in 2006. An ice giant with a cool, deep blue coloration. Similar composition to Uranus. Mean distance from the Sun 2.798 billion miles. Equatorial diameter 30,775 miles, give or take 20. Polar diameter 30,250 miles, give or take 40. Visible cloud deck is at temperatures around 218 degrees Centigrade below zero. Orbits once in 164.79 Earth years, or as of this writing just about once since it was discovered by Urbain le Verrier and Johann Gottfried Galle in 1846. Visited by Voyager 2 in 1989. At last count had 13 recognised moons. Had a dark blue marking looking remarkably similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot, with Neptunian proportions and colour scheme, at the time of Voyager's flyby, which was promptly named the Great Dark Spot; apparently this has since disappeared.
2. Roman divinity of the sea, influenced by but not identical to the Greek Poseidon. Also a god of horses. Had a fishy lower body and brandished a trident.

Neptune is visible in a good telescope.
Capitolus strode on board his ship and set sail across Neptune's kingdom.

Get the Neptunemug. Affected humorous goodbye to someone the speaker can't stand. The bit before the comma is spoken out loud, the rest is more sotto voce; the whole phrase may be repeated straight out to a third party.

Get the see ya, don't want to be yamug. 1. The anus.
2. A toilet.
3. A hole in the surface of a bog. If you fall in a boghole you are liable to slide down into darkness and gunge and never come out again until someone cuts fuel in another fifty thousand years and ends up contacting an archaeologist.
4. In Ireland and perhaps elsewhere on the fringes of Europe or Canada, one of the most Godawful places you are ever likely to find yourself in. A tiny and usually misleading hint of civilisation in the middle of an endless brown or green but really grey landscape. Was probably so much nicer and more atmospheric before they decided to build houses. Typically used as a rest stop on a long bus journey for that very reason; people are less likely to get lost looking at the sights (because there are none) and forget they've got to catch the bus. If you grow up in a boghole, either you have an IQ of 2 or you have only one burning ambition in life from the cradle, and that is to get as far away from the boghole as you can, as soon as possible.

She's gone to use the boghole again.
Oh, no, don't tell me little Sammy's gone for a walk and slipped and fallen down the boghole!
I grew up in Ballygronan. For me, the symbol of the promise held by the rest of the world was a tree growing on a nearby hilltop. Man, what a boghole.
