Cockblocked By Association 

When you can't date, or have sex, with someone because they're the friend of someone you dated, or had sex with. Most commonly experienced when one wants to date one of an ex's friends, but they can't, because they're the friend of their ex.

"-I wanna date Jenny, but she's my ex's best friend, so I can't.
-You my friend, have been cockblocked by association."

Associative Theocratic Oligarchy 

The hierarchical structure isn't the problem it's that frauds and charlatans aggregate at the top and them bottle-neck the hierarchy in various places in accordance with their ethic. Because you only need to be so competent and I'm friends with this guy and not you.

Hym "The problem is that it's an Associative Theocratic Oligarchy. You're trying to do the same thing they are, just in reverse. 'BuT wE'lL rUlE wItH a GeNtLeR hAnD' and selectively cancel anyone who violates your ethic. In the exact same way. Unless you prove otherwise. In the same way that the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend; The lesser of two evils is still just evil."

Herpes by association 

This is a stigma against an individial who hangs out with an unheigenic person. For instance your friend points out to you , ew OMG that guy you are with has herpes on his face! Then they think you will become dirty or infected if you keep hanging around them. Herpes is transmittable so you have to cut the ties! Youll get a terrible reputation hanging around with a herpes kid.

OMG, that Vitale kid has herpes. Don't associate with him or you will have herpes by association!

American Family Association

A euphemistic name conjured up by a notorious group of people climbing up their moral pedastools, insisting that gays are the cause of World War II, justifying atrocites and discrimination of those non-christian, poor or Native American, and supporting the complete dissapearance of the word 'gay'.

"Don we now our gay apparel
Fa la la, la la la, la la la"

{American Family Association} Oh dear. That doesn't look right...

"Don we now our homosexual apparel
Fa la la, la la la, la la la"
