When you and another person come up to a path (like an intersection, a doorway, or a narrow hallway) where only one person can go, and you politely tell them to “go ahead” and they say “no, no, you go ahead” and then you both wait, and then go at the same time thinking that the other person will not concede, and you repeat this at least one more time.
Two drivers pull up to opposite sides of a 4-way stop at the same time. One is turning left, the other is going straight. The person going straight signals to left turn person to “go ahead”, while at the same time, the person turning left signals to the person going straight to “go ahead”. They signal back and forth and then wait, and eventually concede at the same time. They laugh and repeat the polite shuffle at least once more.

Get the Polite shuffle mug.A situation where the politics related to that specific issue cause so much controversy in the media and society and bickering between the various political parties over what is, how serious it is, and how to address it that it is almost impossible to grasp what really happened in that situation because you are unable clearly see what occurred.
Person 1: It is hard tell what is really happened in regards to whether or not Russia intelligence hacked into the U.S. election in order to manipulate the results.
Person 2: It is still hard tell what happened even today because of how the politicians and society responded. The political sandstorm related to that issue will likely not wear off for quite some time.

Get the Political Sandstorm mug.Dragon Age 1 is about racism. The sub plot revolves the oppression of the elves by the humans.
Dragon Age 2 is about colonialism and religious zealotry. Kirkwall takes in the Qunari leader and he tries to take over the country because the fact that they don't adhere to the Qun disgusts him.
Dragon Age 3 is about class warfare. The conflict between the overclass (The Templars) and the underclass (The Mages)

Hym "Dragon Age is ALWAYS political. I don't know what Dragon Age 4 is about but I don't know why you would buy a game that is always political and then expect the points of contention of out modern politic to be absent from the game."

Get the Dragon Age is ALWAYS political mug.A tactic employed by certain politicians and groups that want to push their political agendas where that group or politician will say and or do certain things related to supporting or opposing specific issues in order to get certain types of reactions from particular populations, interest groups, and or, in some cases, other politicians. They usually do this to get more votes from different populations in society, or to get more financial and or political support from particular interest groups.
Natasha: I heard Senator Murkowski recently gave a speech on how they supported efforts of oil companies to begin drilling in certain parts of Alaska. I’m not sure why she would give a speech like that when she supports moving the country towards using renewable energy sources to prevent climate change, which negatively impacts many populations in her state. I could cost her their support down the line.
Ronald: She maybe employing selective political pressure in order to get more support from certain oil companies and specific Native American communities by appearing to support an issue they care about.

Get the Politics mug.Term used by Hongkonger/Taiwanese/whomever finds it applicable, to answer the question "Are you Chinese?" or its variants asked by Westerners in hope of preventing unnecessary misunderstandings and ultimately the heat death of the universe.
American : "Hey man nice to meet ya, you Japanese Korean or Chinese?"
Hongkonger : "I am politically Chinese."
American : "Bruh what?"
HongKonger : "Basically I can read, write, and speak Chinese, like Chinese food, enjoy most types of Chinese art, but detest the bullshit dished out by the CCP nowadays to the point I generally don't want to call myself Chinese even though doing so would be politically correct hence the name. However I am pretty certain if I answered that I am a Hongkonger you are going to ask "So are you Chinese or not?" "Can you speak Chinese or not?" anyways, and create a paradox that is going to rip through time and space, accelerating particles to beyond the speed of light and resulting in immediate heat death of the universe."
