A term for track and field runners, implying they are overly dramatic, weak, and lack the competitiveness of real athletes, embodying a sense of failure and insignificance in the sports world

Middle East Tragedy

Russia, China, the U.S, Japan, France, Spain, and the U.K are discussing Syria and their chemical weapons. Right now ever since the latest memorial of 9-11, there has been tragedy with the muslims in the middle east and countries in south western Russia such as Turkey and Kazakhstan. Libya and Al-Qaeda received a signal to move into Syria and Egypt to surround Israel. It is unknown to all of us of which country sent the signal. But Afghanistan is currently scared now and leaves the war with a frightened attitude and begs the U.S to end the war. Russia believes that China can come up with ideas. To this day, there is war in Iraq. Madness and tragedy strikes the middle east with threats, frights, and various other things. Will this madness ever end?

Politicizing The Tragedy

a Republican LieSpeak term: "The Tragedy" is of course some entirely avoidable horror, generally a large loss of life, and generally this occurred due to some policy that Republicans fully support. "Politicizing" is being used here as a synonym for "Doing something about it (to prevent it)"

Thus "Politicizing The Tragedy" is a form of LieSpeak that enables sociopathic people to actually flip the script and call people out for wanting to do something to stop the horror.
-After each deadly house fire without a fire department, the small town tried to set up a fire department paid for with town taxes, but the anti-tax crowd always screams that setting up a fire department and raising local taxes to pay for it is Politicizing The Tragedy.

-The Nazi screamed at me: "What do you mean that we must do something to stop the needless killing? You want to stop the killings? No, the killings must go on, and you are the monster for trying to stop them because you are Politicizing The Tragedy!"

Egyptian Tragedy

The act of fucking a charred orange covered in salt until it completely disintegrates. The orange has to be charred in order for it to be an Egyptian Tragedy, aswell as the orange, which has to be from a farmer in China named "Louis", it can be any Louis, as long as they farm oranges. You have to be in a state of melancholy in the act. The salt has to be from the Salzbergwerk in Berchtesgaden.

This criteria is mandatory
The orange has to be powdered and from China
And HAVE to be from someone named Louis
If the farmer isnt named Louis, this is not an Egyptian Tragedy

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry

A cynical industry where you hear the same kinds of stories and lines over and over to the point that it's a joke that isn't funny (the false hope and optimism sky is going to fall again tomorrow industry).
Person that survived storm- As long as nobody gets hurt, I don't care if I lose everything else.

Grief/tragedy/sympathy/hope industry Reporter- That sounds convincing.

5 years later after recovering from loss of loved one the person gets to thinking and it hits them- As horrible as it makes me sound, too horrible to put on TV, though nothing will hit as hard as me losing a loved one or an animal, I really do miss that couch and TV, even if I got another one. It sounds inhuman of me, and yet deep down anyone else would miss their shit at times if they lost it, even if they didn't tell anyone that they did. If they didn't miss their shit, they wouldn't get a house to put it in, but if they did get a house and wouldn't miss their shit, they'd live in an empty house, since nothing would be sacred there. If people are being honest with themselves and true to life, they also miss material things even if they miss the living things more.

Grief tragedy sympathy hope

Hopefully instead of cops everywhere reacting with rage over the news about deaths of young fellow officers, they treat their lives as people treated the life of George Floyd, even if these guys didn't look like you, they were just people that wanted to improve the lives of the people around them and they were happy to be alive trying to do that when they were alive. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry tries to make horror or shock stories to headline the news, and really that does more harm than anything else to what these folks were really about, to focus on things like death all the time.
People that look like anybody can end up like these New York City cops, but how often do you hear much about their lives besides a few seconds on the news, then there is another story. The grief tragedy sympathy hope industry might want you to feel a certain way (sad, angry) about something, but they don't tell you that you don't have to if you don't want to.
