it gets bettering

Explaining to someone (usually a member of the LGBTQ+ community who is at the beginning of their "coming out" journey) that "it gets better." This could be perceived as patronizing, particularly when offered by someone who doesn't seem to have their life together, but it is well-intentioned.

A reference to the It Gets Better Project storytelling campaign which has helped thousands of LGBTQ+ young people. Used in the HBO Max show, "The Sex Lives of College Girls"

"I'm just calling to check in on you. I could tell you're in a really bad place and I just wanted to say that it gets better."

"Oh my god, are you "it gets bettering" me? Yeah, no, I'm fine. You drive a Ford Windstar. You get better."

Flaherty will get you nowhere

What da "traditional St. Patrick's Day" humans in da world need to realize before employing sweet-talking "charmed advantages of their ancestral home-country" tactics in an attempt to solicit undue favor with others, such as being given special treatment, allowed extra leniency, etc.

Just because you've got Celtic roots and/or red hair and freckles, this does not mean that you should presume to be able to use your "luck of the Irish" strategy to weasel your way to undeserved gain or forgiveness --- generally speaking, Flaherty will get you nowhere!
