mashed potatoes

mashed potatoes (slang, political) — A self-inflicted humiliation, especially one involving Donald Trump, where he provokes or instigates a situation that backfires spectacularly, leaving him publicly embarrassed but unwilling to admit fault or laugh at himself. Originates from a childhood story in which Trump, after teasing his younger brother, had a bowl of mashed potatoes dumped on his head by his older brother, an incident that reportedly left a lasting mark on his pride.

When Trump stumbled and couldn’t correctly explain the Constitution during the interview, commentators called it pure mashed potatoes—a humiliation entirely of his own making.

Mashed Potato Man

A menace to society that came to life from a bowl of unseasoned mashed potatoes. Soft, white, flavorless, and unrefined. Likes gravy.

Look at that Mashed Potato Man in the Trump hat.

instant mashed potatoes

A vile, ungodly creation with no equal. The ultimate torture weapon of suburban mother's who don't like to peel potatoes or work late. A plague upon suburbia that leaves only hungry children and carnage in it's wake. A "food" dish from hell itself which can both lacerate the inside of your mouth with water-resistant flakes and also dribble out your mouth as you choke on it and beg for the gentle release of death. Generally, they're pretty terrible. Can be used to great effect in soups if you're allergic to flour though.

"Sweetie, I made instant mashed potatoes to go with dinner."
"Fuck you. I'm going out for Thai food. Eat that crap yourself."
