Thank you, next

A creative way of rejecting something/someone especially in the case of a prospective love interest whome a person would never concider. The equivalent of "boy bie". Term was originally used by industry people who would reject "talent" by thanking therm, then asking for the next one to come it.
Made mainstream by Ariana Granda's hit song Thank you, Next where she thanks each of her exes then moves on to the next one.

Aura: Steven just sent me a dick pic and asked me to come over to smoke.
Julie: You mean your creepy dealer with the baby mamma drama and the IQ of a 12yo child?
Aura: ugh yeah, he's been coming onto me a lot lately even after I told him I just want weed.
Julie: Then drop him. Thank you, next.

Black and white thinkers

Conservatives. They tend to think largely in terms of absolutes. Now don't get me wrong, absolute values are important - by no means do I support moral relativism - but it's necessary to recognize the many shades of grey involved in individual cases too. That is, after all, what situational ethics is all about.
I suspect that many of the conservatives I've met don't recognize these gray areas largely because of their absolutist religious upbringing.

A few scenarios:
A nine year old girl, tragically, is raped and impregnated by her stepfather. What to do? According to the religious absolutist, abortion is, under all circumstances, 100% wrong. Unless the birth is life-threatening, she can't abort.

Moderate: I don't normally support abortion, but here it's necessary.
Liberal: I think abortion is a right that belongs to the mother. I would support her right to choose if this girl was nine or twenty nine, raped or non-raped. (although i would personally disapprove of it in the latter).
Conservative: Fucking baby killers! It's an innocent fucking BABY we're talking about!
(as opposed to a non-sentient cluster of cells, lacking a nervous system and the ability to feel pain)

I had a much better example but the stupid character limit fucked me over.

See my future definition, Conservative Black and White Thinking Disorder for that one.

I blame religion for turning so many conservatives into black and white thinkers.

And this is why I dislike religion - it so often stops people from thinking. If people were encouraged to think in terms of individual cases as opposed to coming to each and every unique situation with a preconceived bias (abortion is MURDER!)...well, I don't know. We might have a better world. Just maybe.

Thinking inside the box

Take off on an overused board room expression, only this one actually has some actual meaning. To think inside the box simply means to have your mind on sex.

Dude, that board room meeting with Hal & Tom was so boring...they kept talking about thinking outside the box all the while while I was thinking inside the box while staring at the copy girl.

Partial Thinking

When ideas or opinions are rendered that have not been completely thought through. The stance may change, reverse or stay the same depending on further thoughtfulness, discussion and openness.

The idea that torture is a good way to find information is partial thinking. When including the possibility of misinformation, moral degradation of torturer, inspiring others to be terrorist, and plummeting opinion and respect for our country then on further inspection it seems wrong.

Thank you, Caption Obvious

social thinker

n. Person who doesn't think to excess; someone who isn't dim but who can't be bothered to cogitate in school.

The square root of 64? Are you kidding me? I am totally just a social thinker.

I studied hard all last semester and nearly lost all my friends. But, with the help of some total slackers, I managed to turn my life around and now I'm just a social thinker.
