courtesy laugh

When someone tells an absolutely terrible joke, and no one laughs, you give them a courtesy laugh. This should not be mocking and done very tastefully.

Jim- "...And so the atom says, 'I lost an electron!' And the bartender says, 'Are you sure?' and the atom goes,'I'm Postive!'"

Jake (thinking)- Holy fuck that was a horrible joke, he needs a courtesy laugh

Jake- HA HA HA
*silence*

Court Imposter Syndrome

When a person, either male or female, shows up to divorce court to “fake poor” in order to sway the judge to decide more in their favor and leave them less liable.

I studied up on how to truly embody the edge of homeless part, replete with the right degree of b.o., so there’d be no suspicion I was attempting to manipulate the court with just another lame and transparent example of Court Imposter Syndrome.

Court Jester from Queens

A popular nickname for Donald long before he became the 45th POTUS.

Although he’s always sold tabloids with salacious headlines and even dropped into the role of POTUS somehow, the New York elite has never accepted him as anything but the Court Jester from Queens.
