A place, often a private business or organization, where it is prohibited to discuss politics or issues related to it, with exceptions for certain social issues and or issues that may affect how that business or organization runs
Evan: Hey, did you hear about the debate last night? I hear it got really intense when the candidates fought over how to address crime and government reform.
Simone: I know, but we can’t talk about that right now because we are in a political dry zone.
Evan: I have never heard of it. What is that?
Simone: It means this restaurant expects the people eating inside it to not discuss politics. If you don’t follow that rule, they will refuse to serve you and kick you out. This type of rule is often done to reduce stress on other people dining here and the restaurant’s employees and to help prevent violence confrontations by eliminating opportunities for intense disagreements to arise.
Evan: Okay then I’ll stop.

Get the Political dry zonemug. 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 Politicsmug. Alienated from the current political atmosphere or from one's previous political affiliations, and struggling to identify with any political party or ideology. Another word for "politically homeless" that does not appropriate a word corresponding to a marginalized group of people. Not to be confused with centrism.

Get the Politically Isolatedmug. is a colloquial term often used to describe politicians or political figures who make outlandish statements, exhibit bizarre behavior, or hold extreme beliefs that are perceived as unconventional or detached from reality. The term is derived from the breakfast cereal "Froot Loops," which consists of brightly colored, sugary cereal rings. In this context, it implies that the individual's views or actions are as whimsical and nonsensical as the cereal itself.
The politician's latest rant about aliens invading Congress was just another serving of Political Froot Loops, leaving many wondering about the state of their sanity.
