Republicans who disassociate themselves from the Republican Party, because right winged nuts are setting the Party's agenda to favor the 1%, and in a way that is hostile toward the middle class, poor, women, gays, sick, scientists, and illegal immigrants.
Right Flight may be a big problem for the Republican Party as they become dominated by right winged nuts who are more anti-government and anarchistic than conservative, and who lack a viable agenda to solve critical problems that face the nation.

Slugs are people who anonymous ride-share, with drivers who need an extra body or two to get into the high-occupancy lanes.
Slugs line up for a free ride at designated spots such as commuter parking lots, street corners, and bus stops where drivers use them to get in high-occupancy lanes to make commuting for the driver faster.
Slugs is reported to come from bus drivers, who were waived off by people at bus stops who were waiting to be picked up by commuters. The "slugs" term was orginally used as the term for a counterfeit coins. In this case it is used for "fake" bus riders, neigher of which pay.
The slugging process works like this. A driver comes up to a line of people going to work or the city and announces his destination to the "caller" who is the person who is at the head of the line. The "caller" then relays the destination information to the slugs behind, to find the persons in the front of the line going to the same place.
There is a slug etiquitte, which includes never giving the driver your name, no eating, no drinking, extremely limited sell phone use, no messing with the music, no messing with the windows, and no heavy pollical, religious debates etc.
Counterfeit coins used in subways and buses are also known as slugs.

Don't you hate being on highway with bumper to bumper traffic, and see these crazy car poolers in the high occupancy vehicle lanes zoom by.
No, when traffic is really bad I pick up a couple slugs. I think of it as carpooling lite. Where you have the freedom to do what you want when you want, fast, on fast highways.
But do you really want to have a bunch of strangers in your car?
When you commute with slugs there is a certain amount of etiquitte that you don't find with some car poolers, who think they have the same rights in your car as they do in their car.

A type of racism where people don't appear on the surface to themselves to be racist but advantage by and may support racist policy and institutional racism. A asymptomatic racist may justify such behavior under another guise of supporting policies such as law and order (to support LE officers profiling, selective enforcement of laws, brutal and inhumane police tactics), the right to protect one's self when threatened by people who are stereotyped as threatening, to win the war on drugs, and to assure people don't have unfair employment opportunities, against welfare because it destroys the incentive to work, assume some people are characteristically inferior, unfair business practices that target minorities, living in like minded highly segregated communities, etc.
Another asymptomatic symptom is when they do not say anything or attempt to prevent racist practices, and often have a personal benefit from allowing them to continue.
In some cases asymptomatic racism may be highly viable to the victims but not to those of the same race. For example, when someone touches their wallet when they see a minority, when a black person is not invited to a party because they may not fit in, when a person of another race is not given a supervisor position because of potential conflicts.

Arguing with someone with asymptomatic racism is difficult since they don't experience it and can't comprehend what a victim of the racism go through. However, they may actively resist any attempts toward equality or mitigating past racist practices such as affirmative action.

An acronym for Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement. The best alternative that a negotiating party can take if an agreement cannot be reached. The concept was developed by Roger Fisher and William Ury in their book “Getting to Yes: Negotiating Without Giving In.”
The President was terrible at negotiations , his BATNA, typically meant at best widespread suffering of others, to further his personal interests.

When a person puts something into your pocket. It is the same as reverse pick pocketing. It is done by some advertising agencies to promote their product.
The advertisers are getting more aggressive and cheap with their put pocketing campaigns. At one time they would put a fiver in the pocket with their ads. Now they put tasteless trinkets of negative value.

Group cage accommodations for groups of tender age children 4, and under, that were taken from their parents seeking asylum. "Tax-Free" 600 dollars a night per child with extra cost for those with special needs.
Trump Summer Camp is nothing like kennels or zoo cages you would bring your pet to for boarding, as the children are all the children of different ethnicities and ages are bundled together in one big cage. Their enthusiasm was contagious, as was always a deafening scream for joy.

Splinching occurs in the planning process when a plan that is being transformed into reality is missing critical elements. Often these are important legal requirements that were put in the plan to mitigate proposed impacts and to make a bad plan pass review with strong opposition. The result often end in dire consequences. Somethings can be fixed, but often there is a mess, and the develpers often wiggle out of them, or ignor the reqirements, because they will be much less pressure to enforce them once the plan is adopted. The problem is often exasperated when when the developer runs out of money and goes bankrupt.
Splinching also occurs during apparition process between when a wizard disparates (disappears) and apparates (appears some where else). Splinching is the unintended spliting of the wizard and results in an incomplete wizard. To undo the problem the Ministry's Accidental Magic Reversal Squad is required.

Activist one: This plan is going through some serious splinching problems. They aren't putting in the environmental safe guards like they promised, and the water coming out of here looks like an LSD experience.
Activist two: Where's the County's Accidental Magic Reversal Squad when you need it.
Activist three: There sound asleep in the bed of the developers.
