to-don't list

First coined by The Monarch in the wildly popular Venture Brothers cartoon, this is a figurative sarcastic list which has events and tasks that are totally lame and simply unwanted.
-Hey little Johnny, can you do me a favor and clean the gutters sometime today?

-Ya, I'll just put it on my to-don't list.

-Oh don't be such a little shit. I'll give you some Fig Newtons afterward!

-Again. Fuck you, mom.

To-Don't List

The opposite of a "To-Do List", and isn't literally a list, but just an expression. Normally used when a friend/collleague/person says something that you should do/get and don't agree with. First appeared on the G4 TV Show "Code Monkeys".
Friend: "Hey, you should get that thing for that."

You: "I'm going to put that on my "To-Don't List"."

I really don’t need no light to see through you 

I really don’t need no light to see through you. — A brutal way to tell someone that they are absolutely transparent. This idiom entered popular culture in 1982 as a result of the quite danceable late disco track by the same name sung by vocalist Jeffery Osborne.

A useful insult in an age of MAGA Republicanism.

A more contemporary version of this is insult is the more versatile “I see you” — which can either be an insult or a statement of deep connection and engagement.
When Dolt 45 says that if he’s elected he will be MAGA’s retribution, I’ll just say this: I really don’t need no light to see through you, Donnie.
