A song that debuted in an opera called The Pirates of Penzance. It entered popular culture in recent decades following its adaptation in VeggieTales. Nowadays, it's commonly parodied in various memes
"I'm very good with integral and differential calculus,
I know the scientific names of beings animalcules;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern major general!"
(In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
he is the very model of a modern major general!)
I know the scientific names of beings animalcules;
In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
I am the very model of a modern major general!"
(In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral,
he is the very model of a modern major general!)

Few have seen the myth. Few have known the legend.
Those who have, are never the same again.
Like a fleeting wind, he will whisk any pre-conceptions of the alpha male away from you.
For he, is the unrivalled omega male.
His sheer wit and suave attitude to all, will make you wonder how you ever had a life before him.
If you love your partner, be sure to wear sun glasses when near. For the stubb-Meisters gaze could end your marriage in tears.

Get the Pull a Gene mug.A fallacy where someone makes a vague, general accusation of harm or failure—"this system causes suffering," "this idea has negative consequences," "these people have done bad things"—without specifying what harm, to whom, under what conditions, or compared to what alternatives. The accusation is broad enough to be unfalsifiable and vague enough to avoid evidence. General Privation trades on the emotional power of "harm" without the intellectual work of demonstrating it. It's the rhetorical equivalent of "something bad happened somewhere, therefore your point is invalid." The privation is asserted, not demonstrated; generalized, not specified; weaponized, not analyzed.
"Every time I try to discuss economic policy, someone says 'Capitalism causes suffering.' That's the Fallacy of General Privation—vague enough to be unanswerable, broad enough to shut down discussion, and completely useless for actual policy analysis. What suffering? Where? Compared to what? The generality is the point—it's a conversation-ender, not a contribution."
