Boot-shining crazy

A person, idea, thought, belief, government or other concept, system or organization that is domineering in manner, arrogant or otherwise overbearing or obsessively concerned with seemingly minor perceived slights or infractions.

The phrase is believed to have first emerged in the armed forces as an insult used to described officers who make excessive fuss over minor matters such as not shining ones boots thoroughly enough.

The term has since gained widespread acceptance outside of the military and can be found in common usage amongst many English speaking populations around the globe.

Shining light from above

A "Shining light from above" is a self-indulged term used by horrible liars, and devious perverts whom start sexual endeavors and then blame the intimate moment on the other person. Often said when accused of being a souless harpy queen, or just a sklut in a defensive manner. But generally it's used when an unwanted, yet true insult is insinuated or brought up.

Often misconstruded with something pure, or holy. Or just shiny rays of light falling forth from the sky, but in reality it's just a claim of innocence to mask ones extreme level of naughtyness and ones insatiable sexual appetite.
