Leoism

A message delivered daily that is meant to inspire, spark debate, create controversy, initiate actions, etc. It is delivered by Leo, a playa with mad skillz, who hails from NY.
"Damn, I can't get my day started until I get that Leoism. Why hasn't he sent it yet?"

"The R&D team sure could use a Leoism today to get us motivated."

cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex

a) a Latin phrase meaning (original meaning): if the rationale behind a law fails, so should the law (i.e. it is potentially time to replace said law, since it may n o longer serve its intended purpose)

b) (my new and improved English translation of the phrase): a nicer way of saying " repeal and replace" old and possibly antiquated laws)
can cessat ratione legis, cessat et ipsa lex, definition b) be applied, or should it even be applied, to Obamacare?

legislator

One who authors and approves legislation on behalf of the populace, usually a representative such as a congressman or senator.

See conflict of interest and self-serving.
In a democracy, the authority to author and approve legislation would reside with the people. However, that would not be conducive to the job security of lawyers and politicians, so legislators make sure it isn't done that way.

Leising

The act of spending time leisurely. To relax. A super chill pass time of leisure.
To do nothing but lie on the floor all day with a bottle of champagne, some blow and your tit hanging out.
