Phantom pain is the pain amputees feel in the place where they have lost a limb. Initially it is hard for some to grasp the fact that they have lost a limb, because they can feel intense pain where their limb was. There are methods to reorient the mind so that the pain goes away or is greatly reduced.
Also relates to the imagined pain a person feels when someone they love disappears from their life.

Sarge, I think I have been hit, I got this horrible pain in my left leg.
Don't worry private, it is only phantom pain you are feeling, we got your leg in a secure location, where no buddy can cause it harm.

Get the Russian Conscriptionmug. A small window of opportunity you can walk into a store and take at your own risk what you want without paying ; e.g. after a natural disaster or social unrest or war. The sale does not have to occur on any specific day, but it requires certain conditions. It is illegal in almost all circumstances, with the exception of some areas which have been devastated by a disaster and for which taking certain items is necessary for basic survival.

Get the Columbus Day Salemug. A command to shut someone up when you don't want to hear what the other person has to say, nor explain the reason why.
Larry tried explaining his ambitious unrealized dreams to Anne, but there was no way Anne could understand his rambling lectures, and half baked ideas.
As soon as Larry would say one of his key words Anne was on que like a conditioned Pavlov Dog with rabies uncontrollably command Larry to stop splaining.
Larry would pout, and stammer in response, but with no hope of continuing.

Get the stop splainingmug. Blacks and other minorities tend to vote in favor of politicians that support policies that promotes social justice, equality of opportunity, protects the safety net, affordable heath care, daycare, affordable housing, quality education, and provides job security and living wages to the middle and working classes.
Blacks are typically a minority in a general election so they depend on the majority of the voting population to contribute enough votes to their candidate of choice to have a chance of winning.
In many cases the opposing party will try to discourage people to collectively vote with blacks and/or to reduce the power of minority voting using strategies from voter suppression to gerrymandering, increase voting times and places. So when you vote consider how your vote will impact the blacks and other minorities and their candidate and policy choices. Sadly wasteful non-voting and extreme voting practices by the privileged, such as voting for non-viable candidates has resulted in destroying the potential of the black vote to matter.

Black Votes Matter only when they collectively have enough votes for their candidate to win. So understand the implications to blacks and other minorities regarding your choice, and how much you vote matters to their choice.

A no-masker is making a political statement. Herd impunity. It is what it is. Everyone is going to die. I will only spread the virus if you are receptive. If you get really sick and or die it is what it is.

Get the no-maskermug. Brutal and more subtle strategies and tactics by the politicians, police, courts, corporations, and the 1% to suppress the right to free speech and the right to public assembly with regards to social, economic, and political justice. This is often done in the form shooting war veterans in the face with rubber bullets, tear gassing and beating and arresting defenceless bystanders, woman, children, protesters and the press with clubs and military like assaults. The beatings and violence suppression tactics are purported to be for public health and safety purposes (of the 1%).
This is often in contrast to the suppressors efforts to accommodate a small minority within the 1% (.0001% that destroyed the economy) by failing to enforce laws, writing new laws to make illegal activities legal, and providing perverse incentives, perverse subsidies, perverse bonuses, perverse tax breaks, perverse corporate transfer of wealth from the shareholders to the top management that increase social and economic injustice and destroy the economy for the 99%. The brutal tactics are supplemented by much more repressive tactics governmental by goons of the 1% that write laws and self-regulate their activities, since these methods are more pervasive and detrimental to the 99.9%

Someone should talk to the Koch Brothers about sponsoring a tea party for the Mayors and Governors to discuss improved methods for "gooning for the 1%". These Occupy Wall Street people are getting to be a public nuisance, and want to slow the transfer of wealth and power from the poor to the rich. The Occupiers also want to criminalize illegal activities of the 1%.
