Lip service or insincere, hypocritical, and empty pronouncements especially from government officials.
This originated from the Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s presidential campaign where he promised to help and protect Filipino fisherfolks to freely and safely fish on the West Philippine Sea without the intimidation of the Chinese Coastguard illegally occupying the area. He said if needed, he’ll bring the Navy with him and ride a JET SKI to erect a flag to a Chinese airport built on an artificial island on the West Philippines Sea.
Duterte has since made no action on the matter despite the international arbitral tribunal ruling in favor of the Philippines. Since his election, Duterte approved numbers of government projects and policies in favor of Chinese government and businessmen.

Duterte’s recent statement saying he considered to resign is just another Jet ski statement. He said that thousand times without really doing it.

Upon exiting, the dancers are then offered a ride home in exchange for a hummer. (Common occurence in St.Catharines, a small town close to Niagara Falls Canada).

Get the St. Catharines Stakeout mug.1. Much like the chess reference, when two or more obese individuals are trying to make love but are unable to make the right parts connect due to their fat obstruction.
2. When a couple is having non-passionate sex and neither seem to be able to reach climax, so they agree to disengage and move on.

1. Jeanne & George were having a hell of a time heavy petting, but the night took a turn for the worse when their passionate attempts to make love resulted in the ever-frustrating stalemate.
2. Rich and Deb were each trying their best to will themselves to orgasm, but after 20 minutes of mindless awkward and slightly painful humping, they agreed they had reached a stalemate, turned on Seinfeld, and called it a night.

Get the Stalemate mug.A statement that is allegedly so self-evidently true that it cannot be argued against, thus extinguishing any debate on the subject under discussion. It is often employed by those that don't understand the issues and don't wish to reveal that ignorance.
"I don't like all this new building in rural areas." "Well, you can't stop progress!" "That's a typical fire blanket statement, just what do you mean by progress?"
"I am against making ID Cards compulsory" "I don't see the problem, if you've nothing to hide, whats the harm?" "Stop using a fire blanket statement, its not about hiding anything, just personal privacy!"
