Paper Straw

When something has become so progressive it ceases to function.

The act of progressivising something to the point it no longer functions as intended, or backfires.

"Bro that's my third straw this meal, they just keep collapsing"
"Well that's a paper straw for you"

"Bro I can't believe Steven Crowder is a peer reviewed fat studies expert"
"Yeah they really paper-strawed themselves on that one"

Last straw

The latest in a series of distressing but regularly tolerated events that gives rise to the first obvious sign of intolerance towards the offending party, usually in the form of a drastic decision or the offer of an ultimatum. May have come from shortening the idiom/expression "the straw that breaks the camel's back", relating the distress caused by the offending party to stacking straw on the back of a camel over time until it collapses under the weight.

After a series of non-explicit infarctions, Jimmy McGill loudly disturbing his coworkers with his bagpipes is the last straw that forces Cliff Main to fire him from his law firm without cause.

chasing the straw

Used to describe someone who is creepily staring while trying to accomplish a minor task, like trying to find a drinking straw with your tongue while staring at someone across the bar.

That guy was chasing the straw watching those girls sun tan.

Let me get you a straw

"You're a wuss. Learn to deal."

An elaborated version of the sentiment is found in the phrasing: "Let me get you a straw so you can SUCK IT UP."

The proffering of a straw to aid "sucking up" abilities is generally considered more comical (read: obnoxious) than simply telling a whiner to deal.

Can be used in any situation.

*a minor chainsaw incident occurs*

Bob: Um, could you call 911 for me?
Frank: Do it yourself.
Bob: ...I don't have "hands" anymore.
Frank: How about this? I'll get you a straw so you can SUCK IT UP.

Power Straw

The straw used in a BK oreo shake that is very large and unnecessary. Even though unnecessarily large it is very effective when you use it to straw your bitch.

Last night I went to BK and got an Oreo shake and holy shit it came with a power straw! Took that shit home and used it to straw!
