Trevor, the quintessential post-optimist, couldn't refrain from telling his mother how nice Thanksgiving had been -- all this in lieu of his chronic diarrhea.

Get the post-optimist mug.Someone who wants the experiences that go with being male, but never the negative consequences that go with being male, which is why she thinks being male vomes with lots of privileges that she doesn't have. In reality females get to do lots of things males don't, and you don't see as many males whining about wanting to have the same experiences females get to have.
Hopefully the jury will give the officer that shot Daunte Wright the same negative experience that they gave a male, Derek Chauvin, since some females seem to think life would be better/easier if they were male. Hopefully they don't go as easy on her as a jury usually would a female, after all Daunte Wright would usually be the bad guy just for being a male involved in a confrontation with a female, without anybody thinking about why it might have happened, and mindlessly defending the female, as usual. The boundless optimist was the real cynic, because nobody else had to be optimistic or look forward to something that wasn't positive, they could take a spade for what it was.

Get the Boundless optimist mug.A virtual optimist is a person who portrays a positive and hopeful future on social media, while generally not doing anything in real life to impact that future, expecting it to happen on its own.
You need to stop being a virtual optimist about this neighborhood, it hasn't improved in 20 years and has only gotten worse, as no one does anything to improve it.

Get the de-optimist mug.Optimistic Negativity is when you are saying negative things in a very cheerful and optimistic way, saying things about self hatred, the failing economy, fucked up school systems, etc. but in an optimistic, cheerful, and even joking way.
