Retroactive Justification

When you call someone out who's wronged you and they try to use your response, anger, or retaliation to justify what they did.

Person A: "I only lied because I knew you'd react like this!"
Person B: "That's some retroactive justification bullshit! That's not how time works. The cause happens BEFORE the result, dumbass!"

Mercury Retrograde by Proxy

When you are not affected by Mercury retrograde yourself... but everyone around is. Hence you end up suffering during a Mercury Retrograde nevertheless, by having to put up with everyone else's drama.

Later that morning : work continued awfully and threatened to spoil my day. Despite me being fastidiously careful, people tried to blame me for things which went wrong anyway. In other words, I had managed to transcend the effects of the Mercury Retrograde today, but my managers and co-workers had not, so I had to deal with their bullshit, nonetheless. In effect, I suffered from Mercury Retrograde by Proxy.

Murphy in Retrograde

A special time in the universe when, everything that can, will go Right.

After I found my lost class ring, and the Prize Patrol knocked on my door, I knew that was, Murphy in Retrograde.

retrograde wheelbarrow

Its when you are part of a donkey show where you have a donkey and a man(or woman)in a harness, and the donkey is giving it to the man(or woman) while suspended from the donkey. Meanwhile there's a midget with a riding crop wearing nothing more than a black leather hat. He's whipping the donkey to get it to move while the donkey is also eating out of a bag of oats laced with PCP. Now you take a Wii remote with the nunchuck attachment and you insert either end into the donkey's rectum, you then put the other end into the midget's rectum. There's a wheelbarrow behind the donkey. In the wheelbarrow is a tub of pudding with a german female midget can can dancing in the pudding, while "God Save the Queen" is playing on a radio.

I was down in TJ taking a cab when a taxi driver asked me if I wanted to see a donkey show. I told him I had already seen one so he asked if I had ever seen a retrograde wheelbarrow done.

retrogay

Retrogay is what you call a slow person disoriented in fads and styles who gets hooked on one that has already ended for one month to a few years except only beginning for them just to make them feel cooler. It can also be the item or style that was part of the old fad.

Person 1: Dude! Look at my freaking awesome new LIVESTRONG bracelet! How cool is this? I'm the only guy in our homeroom that has one.
Person 2: Man, thats so retrogay. Those things went out of style two years ago you nerd.

Person 1: " I just bought these sweet pair of jeans and polo from Hollister! It was so awesome they were on clearence for 19.99! No one else has the spring style yet but me! I'm gonna totally win that hot babe over at the club tonight when she sees how im pimpin"
Person 2: Dude, its November. You're such a retrogay.
