Get the punched mug.Creating the impression of public support by paying people in the public to pretend to be supportive.
The false support can take the form of letters to the editor, postings on message boards in response to criticism, and writing to politicians in support of the cause.
Astroturfing is the opposite of "grassroots", genuine public support of an issue.

Mike, admit you just got caught astroturfing. You're just pimping your own blog.
Microsoft didn't have grassroots support, so they created astroturf support.

Get the astroturf mug.When on 'The Pill' a girl gets a pill sheet marked with days of the month. For most of the month the pills they take have an effect, but for a few days every month there's apparently no need for them to take any additional pills. To keep it simple however the pill sheets contain pregancy-friendly sugar pills to keep the girls in the habit of taking a pill every morning. When a girl is taking these sugar pills, she is coasting on the previous weeks dosage.
"I haven't been taking my pill for the last few days"
"WHAT?!"
"I don't need to, it's the sugar pill, I got back so the others next week"
"So you've been coasting?"
"WHAT?!"
"I don't need to, it's the sugar pill, I got back so the others next week"
"So you've been coasting?"

An insult for a bad movie employing former A-list (now Z-list) celebrities, especially old male action heros, to spend only a few days acting in a movie so that it can be promoted with a known star. The movie has cheap production and very bad quality.
It's unclear whether the term refers to the the audience for such a movie (old people tricked into paying for a bad movie by a former star who only their age group would recognise), or the elderly actor cashing in on their reputation for very little effort.
The insult implies that the movie's production is a passionless cash grab, tricking an audience into paying for a movie with known actors but with minimal effort elsewhere. Such movies may have a cliché story, bad acting, bad cinematography, bad special effects, and so on, because the production was churning out movies.
