conservation of greatness

Usually used in sports related situations (but also applicable to all life situations), conservation of greatness describes a situation where a person has just done something earth shatteringly amazing, and then immediately proceeds to attempt another amazing action. The second action has 1% chance of doubling the glory, and a 99% chance of failure, which includes a 50% chance of making the person look like an absolute fool.

Popularly used in the game of ultimate frisbee, but possibly originating elsewhere.
'Conservation of greatness' is rarely used as part of a statement, but instead is the entire statement, said after witnessing the the failed follow up action.

Said with great joy when an opposing team fails to compensate for conservation of greatness, but with utter frustration when your own team mate has just made a fool of himself.

cuntservative 

A very sad and predictable mental dwarf who believes himself to be "conservative" when in reality is a devolution from any such sublime ideology. You will see these fecal smears trolling chat sites or forums raving clumsily against mainly "liberals" and ethnics. Often hypocritical, never analytical. They do not engage in logical discourse as real thinking entities, only sling flawed sources under the delusion that it proves anything more than their simplicity. They are also often creepy sociopaths who don't pass on an opportunity to harm someone, or are prone to do so. Only dangerous due to the amount of boring, nonsense traffic they can produce both directly and through upstart kiddy assholes new to the internet who love to toy along with them.
