George Floyd Mentality

When a criminal is being arrested and they try to resist arrest, then proceed to claim that they ‘cannot breathe’ while being detained by an officer.

A man ran away from an officer and when tackled to the ground, he claimed that he couldn’t breathe. You could say that he had a George Floyd mentality.

New York Mentality

The belief that New York is the center of the world and that nothing more than 2 hours outside of New York City is a part of America.

A misguided perception of non-New Yorkers and the belief that others are provincial because they don't live in NYC.

The idea that everything you could ever want is in NYC and there is no good reason to ever leave.

New Yorker: So where are you from?
Maryland-er: I'm from Baltimore.
New Yorker: What do you mean Baltimore? I thought you were going to say Brooklyn. Baltimore? That's so far away, that's like in the middle of nowhere!
Maryland-er: Dude, it's like 3 hours from here.
New Yorker: I know! It's so far!
Maryland-er: Man, you have such a New York Mentality.

Bumper Sticker Mentality

An inability to examine an issue in depth. An inability to get beyond the basic thought, which sticks in their head like a mantra, closing off all other avenues of consideration.

Due to Larry's bumper sticker mentality, he was unable to understand the nuances of an issue beyond a basic premise, as in "guns don't kill people, people kill people." He lacked the ability to think beyond the bumper sticker.

Mental Blue Balls

The result of an increasingly stimulating conversation that has an inconclusive or overly disappointing outcome.

Also used to describe the physical discomfort or displeasure felt after hearing a succession of lengthy jokes with dimwitted or inane punch lines.

Mental blue balls is often characterized by a dull headache or a distinct physical feeling of dismay, despondency, or dissatisfaction as the afflicted individual realizes he just wasted his valuable time and is "left hanging".

Dude, that comic told so many stupid jokes I have mental blue balls.

I got major mental blue balls today after two hours of brainstorming awesome ideas for killer iPhone apps, but no one had any idea how to implement them or even any project plans to get started.
