Raising Awareness

A term used by media-savvy organizations who are all about taking meaningless action that is guaranteed to get their face plastered all over the news, but doesn't do one damned thing to actually fix the problem.
"Men brave the streets in STILETTOS to help in raising awareness of domestic violence."

Raisinist

People who deem all raisins as evil before tasting them. This is often linked to allergy, childhood trauma or parental influence. Raisinists are often scared of encountering raisins in their daily life, taking great care to avoid them in situations like salad and the most typical of them all, buns. Raisinists have a very complicated relationships to buns, having been tricked far too often by the old "its just chocolate bits".

raising cane

Refers to either:
(1) Cultivating tropical sucrose-producing grass.
(2) What da courts in many parts of da world have outlawed when it comes to disciplining children --- it's "time-outs only" nowadays, Folks.
Some people argue dat laws which prohibit "raising CANE" often cause youngsters to be ABLE to misbehave as much as they want. I disagree; most kids start out being inherently good; it's us adults who are da major influence on them to be bad with our OWN improper behavior and impatient disregard for said small-fry's needs and concerns. If we gave our children the care and attention they need, they would actually **want** to be good all the time.
