Robinism 

noun: In the 1970's, there was a television series based on then-popular DC comic characters Batman and Robin, though the show was simply titled 'Batman'.

In the show, without fail, Batman would dramatically reveal the evil plot of the villan for today's episode to Robin, who would then blurt out the word "Holy..." followed immediately by a creative, often alliterate, and always annoying catchphrase relating to the dramatic plot twist.

Such a phrase is now referred to as a 'Robinism'

Definitions:

1)a phrase uttered to add humor to a tense or dramatic situation, by way of attempting to increase the drama or tension in a rediculous manner.

2) The word 'Robinism' itself can refer to any phrase or action that is overly dramatic, to the point of being rediculous. see Robinesque

See below for an example of a Robinism, whose source I now forget.
Examples of Robinism:

1) 1st Person: "Well, from what I can tell, you seem to suffer from a severe case of poor self-image"

2nd Person: "Holy Inferiority Complex Batman! How low is my self-esteem that I appear as a sidekick in my own fantasy?!"

2) 1st Person: "Did you hear? He's been panicking all day because he hasn't got the money ready Vic..."

2nd Person: "How bad is it?"

1st Person: "About as bad as any other Robinism I've seen..."

Robinism 

Ideology where there is a certain threshold of how much network you can have, stopping inflation. The maximum amount of money you can have can range from 1 million to 100 million of the local currency. Half the money going past the maximum amount will go towards people below the minimum, which is 100,000 of the local currency. The rest counts as tax money for the government to operate. All services are run by the government and only the government can run certain businesses, such as building pipes and utilities, producing any raw materials, and any other primary career. The government consists of a democracy, where everyone votes for a president and a prime minister, 15 senators, and mayors. No money can be put into propaganda, or advertising a candidate. They get one speech that will go on all broadcasting systems in the country, and the people base their vote on that and the candidate's background information. Criminals are allowed to run for prime minister, senator, or mayor as long as the crime they committed did not land them in prison, no defamation can be used by other candidates, and if used, leads to immediate disqualification. Everyone is equal and money is split evenly between people, but if someone is deemed unstable financially (ex. a drug addict), the money will go towards buying food for them.
Robinism is a wonderful ideology, especially with all the financial support I have been getting recently!

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
