Band-Aid AU

A type of alternate universe where the characters sustain none of the original trauma in their storyline, but therefore undergo other traumas that are a result of the change in their stories.

For example, if Snow White hadn't bitten the apple, her story would change drastically and she'd experience different traumas.

"I just came up with a new Band-Aid AU for the events of the Five Nights At Freddy's movie!"

band-aid medicine

Typical of modern medicine, focusing on curing symptoms rather than their cause.

Patient *has heart attack*
Doctor: We are going to have to remove your heart.
Patient: Won't I die?
Doctor: Yes but you will not have any more heart attacks.
Patient: *walks out* I don't know if I want band-aid medicine. Maybe I will just lay off the Mickey D's.

Band aid food

Food that you use as a “band aid” to feel better when you’re upset.

“I deserve some band aid food after all this bullshit”
“You wanna go get some band aid food?”

band-aid

Short-term fix or solution to a tricky situation, e.g. the iPad used to calm / quiet down crying children

Using the iPad to distract the kids during dinner was just a band-aid solution; as soon as they finished watching, the chaos returned!
