cultural heimlich

- when a person’s general taste is bad to the point where it requires sustained shaming and social intervention to improve.

- a campaign of necessary refinement, aimed at the abandonment of flavorless beers, Billboard music, poorly written movies, touristy travel, sweet wine, toddler palates, and more.
“Man, Jason was slamming shots of Fireball last night, listening to Kenny Chesney and defending Michael Bay movies. Then today I learned he only eats meat and pasta! We need somebody to step up and perform a cultural Heimlich immediately!”

“She’s literally going to die of poor taste in her 40s, if we can’t get her a cultural heimlich soon”
