passive-regressive

A degree of passive-aggressive behavior which has the opposite of its intended effect, making the person appear childlike.

She always waited a few days to answer his texts, thinking that it would hurt him, when it only made her seem passive-regressive.

Regressive

Those who have hijacked the meaning of conservatism and screwed up the Republican brand, like most GOP primary voters these days. That base: "an excitable, overlapping assortment of Fox News friends, Limbaugh dittoheads, Tea Party animals, war whoopers, nativists, Christianist fundamentalists, à la carte Catholics (anti-abortion, yes; anti-torture, no), anti-Rooseveltians (Franklin and Theodore), global-warming denialists, post-Confederate white Southrons, creationists, birthers, market idolaters, Europe demonizers, and gun fetishists."

If you are Liberal or Progressive, don't forget to spring ahead 1 hour tonight. If you are Regressive, forget it. You folks have fallen so far behind that 1 hour won't make much difference.

regressive

A person who believes that black people are not racist because of slavery, Islam is a peaceful religion, Muslims are peaceful (even the criminal ones), and white people are racist. Also a person who usually criticise Christianity (or not) and not Islam.

If you believe that black lives matter, you are a regressive.

regretsy

An apologetic salutation for the non-delivery of a gift item you ordered as a joke from Etsy that did not make it to the giftee; the funk you feel when the junk you ordered was not delivered.

That piece of crap never made it to you? My regretsy.

regressive

A false progressive who rejects progress.

A so-called progressive who claims to support Bernie Sanders, but does not support the progress Bernie accomplished in the Democratic Platform, attacks the candidate Bernie has endorsed, and assists Donald Trump is a regressive.

with regrets

On invitations, it is the opposite of R.S.V.P.. People must call if they cannot attend, rather than R.S.V.P.-ing.

Girl: Hey, I read your invitation, and I noticed it said "with regrets", so I just called to say I will not be able to attend your party. Sorry!
