Power phrase

(1.) A set of lyrics in music, particularly the rock and metal genres, that attempt to use emotionally charged and/or "intelligent" words and phrases to give the listener the illusion that they are listening to a meaningful song.

(2.) Lyrics in a song that primarily involve "intelligent" words written for the sole purpose of convincing the listener that the author, contrary to popular belief, is the Einstein of the particular song's subject matter.

(1.) The crowd was appalled when the vocalist screamed obvious power phrases, the worst being one song's chorus of "we raped the nation through subjugation."

(2.) The musician's ignorance concerning the inner workings of politics was hidden by his dictionary as he tossed in the power phrase "we don't need your hypocrisy, execute real democracy."

Thoughts and prayers

Okay, I'll send a Hallmark card I found in the bottom of my desk drawer.

Oh, my mother in law broke her leg? Well my thoughts and prayers are with her.

thoughts and prayers

a word that's usually used when people don't give a sh*t, particularly the republican party when a school shooting happens AGAIN.

Media: "Oh no, 18 students just got shot and 4 killed at Oak Elementary! We have to have gun laws!"

RP: "No we don't. Thoughts and prayers to all those in the shooting."

Phrasestorming

1) The act of brainstorming words and short phrases that could be used as names for creative works. Phrasestorming is far too fun for the good of its participants. Like all brainstorming, phrasestorming inevitably creates some byproducts of very low quality.

I was phrasestorming to come up for a name for my band when I phrasestormed the word phrasestorm.
