American Exceptionalism

A tool used to keep people satisfied with not knowing how much they are being fucked over.

"America is the greatest nation in the world. It's perfect and nothing needs fixing. It literally can't improve! I already have the best possible lot in life."
--American one lost paycheck away from homelessness

"American Exceptionalism is the best! I can pay my workers poverty wages, and they won't even do anything about it because they don't know any other way of living! Let's make sure things stay that way."
--American Billionaire

minimally exceptional

A euphamism for stupid, said to parents of school-aged children who are likely to sue if their "special little guy" isn't treated like a genius.

buttock exception

The act of excepting or excluding the buttock(s) from legal definitions of battery or criminal sexual conduct.

See, 609.3451 CRIMINAL SEXUAL CONDUCT IN THE FIFTH DEGREE "For purposes of this section, "sexual contact" has the meaning given in section 609.341, subdivision 11, paragraph (a), clauses (i), (iv), and (v), but does not include the intentional touching of the clothing covering the immediate area of the buttocks."

Senator Al Franken is not guilty of criminal sexual conduct when he grabs ass because "the immediate area of the buttocks" is excepted by definition in the relevant criminal statute..you know...the buttock exception. He's just a a dirty old creep.

Mayweather Exception

A loophole that protects a very narrow subset of athletes and celebrities from the typical criticism, judgement, backlash most would experience following transgressions such as: racially insensitive or anti-LGBT comments, criminal activity, drug or alcohol abuse, rampant promiscuity, flaunting/squandering of wealth, involvement in altercations, etc.

This loophole is granted only to select few individuals who have, over time, built such a negative and illustrious resume of actions, behaviors, statements, etc. that they are seen as too far gone and disconnected, unaffected by backlash, insane or delusional, or not worth attacking

Examples include: Floyd Mayweather Jr., Charlie Sheen, Eminem, Lenny Dykstra, Courtney Love

(coined by sportswriter/blogger named Jeremy Morris in 2017)

Floyd Mayweather yet again showed us all why he’s the ultimate Mayweather Exception guy with that response. He’s clearly never heard of the MeToo movement but managed to answer the question by talking about a couple of his million dollar cars.

Courtney Love was hammered trying to parallel park on the sidewalk on TMZ but she’s definitely earned the Mayweather Exception as far as drinking/drug use so no ones really surprised. Imagine if Taylor Swift was drunk driving on TMZ. Twitter would crash.

except chris brown

describing a subject that is unbeatable, but only to finish your claim that chris brown can beat it.

similar to a sentence that is interrupted by michael scott, regional manager of dunder mifflin on the office, he would state at the end of a statement, "thats what she said."

Only this time under the brown exception, a subject matter that is said indestructible, is reverted back to the all capable beat down by chris brown.

nothing beats walmart's prices...except chris brown
